Very nice Bill.  Takes a little getting used to, a Corsair in this scheme, but really looks great.

Regards,  Rick

Pretty cool! That will look great when done. Very sharp camo scheme.

"Soccer War" Corsair camouflage painted
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, June 7, 2006 3:43 PM
I finished painting the camo on one of the HobbyCraft FG-1D Corsairs today. This one fought on the side of El Salvador during the infamous 1969 "Soccer War." This is one of four aircraft from that conflict that I'm building for a customer.
 
The gray-green is Model Master RAF Interior Green, the tan is MM RAF Middlestone, and the dark green and light gray are Gunze Viet Nam-era SEA scheme colors. I used WEM Japanese ID band yellow for the stripes. The camo was sprayed freehand using my trusty old Badger 150 (the workhorse).
 


 
Now to paint another one for this project !
