Looking really good Joe! I've seen those Starfighter decals aroud but have shied away from them as I wasn't sure how they'd go down. As you said they do have some nice schemes.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

Bish: I agree about the all dark sea blue. But, as you noted, some of the markings you'll find definitely jazz them up a bit. The white decals did indeed cover fairly well with only a tad of opaqueness.

Impeccable!  The blue paint scheme being offset by the white decals looks fantastic.  I couldn’t have built a better Corsair than that.  I envy you.  Great job sir!

Thanks TJ. It's just 4 1/2" PVC tees unmounted so I can move them around for whatever I'm working on. I've fiddled with several variations. The things you find to do on down time while working in a hardware store. Lol.
