easixpedro Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Cool choice! I've been tempted to do one of these along with a display of an SBC Helldiver from the Saratoga (but where to find a SBC Helldiver?). Always fascinating to me how many Naval Aviators were in the initial cadre of AVG pilots. I've heard 75% from docents at the museum in Pensacola, but we all know how much docents like to elaborate on topics... Interesting to me, as I'm sure that was a large leap going from dive bombing to becoming a fighter pilot. And to essentially resign your commission to join a fledgling group based off a couple of conversations with a handler. Crazy. Looking forward to the markings! -Peter Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Common practice is pilot’s name only on port (left) side. But as you may know, stranger things happen at sea. Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you may know, stranger things happen at sea. I guess I choose the single port side. As a result, this is not a rally car with the names of the pilots all over it.

Tolga ULGUR Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 I decided to start with the relatively sensitive area: Sharkmouth Decals are much better than I expected. Murphy was not even aware of this process. To be continued... easixpedro, patricksparks, KUROK and 23 others 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone Decalling is terminated. I have decided to replace the roundels with the old and wise Cutting Edge decals.

Thanks Quang As a matter of the fact I am not sure it is a issue or not, but the kit roundels are multiparts (inner and outer parts) and the size of the upper and lower roundels were different. We can say that I trust CE more. Edited April 25, 2022 by Tolga ULGUR Rocat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMaben Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Very nice paint Tolga. Something looks odd about the headrest. Only the front section should be painted brown. The rear should be the cammo color. I think maybe they shaped it incorrectly. The padding should mount directly to the flat panel behind it. hmmm Tolga ULGUR, Kagemusha, Uncarina and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Looking even more impressive with the markings on. Cheers Dennis Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition, I changed the shape of the headrest as it should be. I think it's much more accurate than before I'll paint it later and put it in place.
