Using a Sharpie on Cowl Flaps..............

Post by Teamski » Sat Oct 09, 2004 6:49 pm

Hey guys,

Just an idea, but after looking at my 190 and Boyington Corsair, I got tired of not being able to see the cowl flaps that are obscured by the paint job. So, I got a sharpie pen and ran it inside the cowl flap lines. Check out a picture of it in the miscellanious Folder here:

A simple but effective method. I like the way they look now.........

Looks good. I'm waiting for some brave soul to post pics of a 190D with the cowl flaps cut and bent into the open position, as would be seen when the plane is using maximum power. Looks cool. I am not such a brave soul, however.

Great idea Ski!

I like the way those turned out on your Corsair. I'll have to give that a try!
