So far, so good! I love that plane. The Navy yellow wing era stuff is just neat.

Looks great, I may have to give it a try with Bare Metal Foil on the pop. I’m thinking of starting an F4B.

Looks real good from here. Are you doing a bit of pre-shading on the fuse?
I would only suggest to put a black wash on the cylinderheads to bring out the detail.

Looking good!
A suggestion: how about a little more diversity in the photos? Three of those shots are practically the same (I think two are actually identical).

I’d like to see your nice work from a few different angles!

Looking good so far. Is that the Hasegawa 1/32 kit?

wibhi2-nope have not done any pre-shading, i will do that towards end of build (after application of FUture)

JHulk- thanks for the suggestion, on next set of photos i will do this

rjkplasticmod- yes it is the 1/32 kit from Hasegawa,i could not find a date on the box or instructions but from reading info on other pages it is from the 1960’s, it is from the 1/32 scale series, kit # j-06450
