Looks like good fun D H . I love your choice of fuselage markings !!!!!!

BTW, what model have you overpainted ? The stand says AA.33010 = is that the bird ????????

If so, you just made AA.33010's (Aeronavale) rarity factor go up (Gulp !)

A.F.A.I.K. (99.9%) the Royal Navy/F.A.A. never used any 4 x blader F-4.U Corsairs

I'm well familiar with the usual 'White' sealant-tape that covers the auxiliary-tank on F-4.U's, so I'm curious, what's with the Red-stripe on yours, from the windshield, almost to the cowling ????????????

Re: FAA Corsairs

Very nice job D H. What is the history of this bird that chose you to use the livery? It's a wonderful scheme.
 

Anything for a weird life.
