Looking to add a little detail to the armored glass on my Tamiya F4U-1, and thought that adding the attachment brackets for the armored glass would help fill up this area. I can't find any clear shots showing what they might look like, anyone out there have any photos of this area?
TIA!

Hi D - Thanks. Great to hear you're going down the Hendon Mustang route. Again, do you have a link to your build please? Love to see it.
Here's a link to mine if you're interested, not even in the same ballpark as your build! I find myself staring at the photos of yours and seeing so many things I wish I had done differently. But that's okay, I just started another one of these kits this weekend!

Amazing build, and truly a heart-warming story. I too was taken by both the paint work on the rubber fuel tanks and the wings. Thanks for sharing your recipe for the aluminum lacquer on the wings, will play around with that one on mine.
Blue skies Roscoe!

That is an impressive build, lovely work all 'round! I also like the tape residue effects over the gun ports, how did you do that?

That is a very impressive build, especially the effects under the lozenge decals.

Very impressive work on this one Jan, I too will be following along. How strong is that joint on the wing panels? With the embedded wire, it should be okay but I would be afraid of the joint cracking with any load on it. keep up the good work!

Very impressive display, love the weathering on the Tomcat and the attention to detail. Five stars!

Looking to build Tamiya's big F-4J soon, but am not having any luck finding any aftermarket stencil decals. Are there any available out there?
TIA!

Gorgeous work Mark, I am a bit envious as I have dreamed of building every one of the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds aircraft. You are off to a brilliant start!

I have been wanting to get a couple of those AB sets, couldn't figure out the website. Any other ideas for those of us who do not use FB?

Bravo Jeff, lovely work here! As soon as I received my decal sheet form Jake, I decided I have to do one of these schemes! Either this one or the Duluth 'bird. What paints did you use for the main color? It looks great, especially in the natural light.
Awesome stuff!

Hey Jake!
'Bout time we get some new Viper stickers, can't wait for the links to open to get some!

Thanks Harv, it has been a while!
Better than anything I have found, thanks John! Do you know where you found that one? Might be something else there that could help.
