This is really coming along great Steve.
That was tape applied to seal the panel joins and prevent fluids blowing back onto the windscreen. Some other VF-84 Corsairs had this applied to (155 was one IIRC).\ said:Another interesting feature is the upper cowling scuff marks on '152'. A panel that's been re-riveted? Great photos BTW.Cheers

Cool details to model. Will you be looking at replicating this? Actually, sorry Steve I'm probably putting the cart before several horses. I'm sure you have a finish in mind and whatever it is it's sure to be class.That was tape applied to seal the panel joins and prevent fluids blowing back onto the windscreen.

Thanks for that. This now begs the question, as fresh patches are clearly not applied, whether we are seeing residue from earlier applications or metal where the removal of the patches left after the MGs were fired lifted the paint?\ said:Looks good Steve. You'll be happy to know that the marks around your guns are indeed gun port patches. The Americans appear to have used off-white coloured patches.
