Great build. The wash has added to the overall effect IMO. Thanks for posting.

Just finished today; Special Hobby Tempest Mk V 'Hi Tech' kit. Finished as SA-M, a Mk V flown by James Sheddan of 486 Squadron. Beautiful model when finished. Takes a lot of work to get there though. Many fit issues which I guess is common for the brand. Sure looks good when finished though. The Hi Tech kit comes with the 1/2 engine, lots of resin to replace plastic kit parts, HGW seat belts & photo etch details. After seeing Misoslav build so many, I was real interested in trying my hand at one. Got the kit @ 1/2 price on sale at a on line retailer. Added Barracuda resin nose & prop, Eduard flaps. Painted using MRP paints. All markings except stencils, kill markings & Squadron flag are painted on. Thanks to Reimund for the kill markings & flags ! Weathered using washes, pastels & hair spray technique for the chipping. Thanks for looking & all comments welcome. Larry

What a great build & love the paint/weathering. The engine turned out fantastic! Thanks for posting.

Great build, nice kit. You have been busy!

Great build. Thanks for posting.

Nice build ! Quite an unusual scheme. Thanks for sharing.

Just got this yesterday. Been interested since I first heard of it coming out. Also had in the box; 2x 1/16 Gaspatch Spandau's, 1/16 Gaspatch turnbuckles and a wood grain painting templete. Got all for just over 1/3 of retail. A all new kit, not a re box of the Model Airways kit.

Thanks for the notice. Ordered a couple of sets today. Looks great.

Karim, Sorry to hear about your shoulder, hope you recovery goes well. The last updates look amazing! Thanks for taking the time to check on that. I will email Alex, as they do not have 'The Barnfind' wood decals available on their site. Looks a bit different than the 'Knotless' ones I have. Larry

Great build ! Thanks for posting.

I will be going. My only other time I entered in a Nationals was in 1993 in Atlanta. Ended up taking 2nd place in the 1/48 Luftwaffe category then. Was pleased with that, as it was a large category. Just finished my registration & have a room reserved @ the Read House. Hope to run into some folks from here. Larry

Wow ! That is the best model build I have seen in quite a while. I really like the wing ribs you crafted and the corrugated aluminum skin on the tail. Congrats on your awards, well deserved. Thanks for posting.

Nice build & great photos ! Thanks for posting.

Karim, Great work on the woodwork ! Am curious as to what decals you used, I do not see any 'barnfind' wood decals on Uschi's site. Are they the 'Knotless' item 1004? Larry

Great finish & weathering ! Thanks for sharing.

Great build ! Thanks for posting.

Nice clean build ! The figure looks great, much better than I could do. Thanks for sharing.

Another masterpiece Miloslav I want to do a tri color scheme on my next Corsair. Thanks for posting. Larry

Great build ! Like the finish.

Nice clean build Thanks for posting.

Will be watching this one closely. Your prior work is exceptional. Enjoyed my F4U-1 build & have the F4U-1A in the stash. It is a great kit, a lot of it just clicks together.

Great progress Karim. Will be another masterpiece when you're finished. Same scheme as my first Albatros. Larry
