Getting a little more done today.
The rudder is done and glued in, still need to hook up the servo.
I like to to glue the hinge into the recesed pocket first the glue the rudder, elevator or aileron in. This gives a more accurate instalation being it is blind.
Navigation on light is in for the becon on the taile.
I am am installing the vinyl details, numbers and the stars and bars.
"Invasion stripes" I am not going to do the invasion strips as of this time. Being they were added in the field and also at one point removed, my modle is pre invasion so no stripes.
The he decals go on easy with Rapid Tac.
the inner cooler doors are glued in and covering them is easy with them in the closed position.
Rivets rs will come after all vinyl is applied .
main hatch is in and the hand hold is installed.

Your bird is beauuuuutiful.
From the pic's in post 1964 on your cowl I did not see if you are adding the chin lip.
I like the looks of the Dummy engine, so ware did you get it/what brand as I will be needing a new one to finish up my Corsair repair

I purchased my dummy radial and chin scoop from www.scalespecialties.com. You won't be disappointed.
Yes that is where I got mine, thanks.
