The 1/48 scale Corsair model for the Ct. Air & Space Center museums display of 'Home Town Heroes" has been finished and delivered. The base color is Model Master Intermediate Blue. All the other shading and hues were achieved with pastel chalks applied by scrubbing or brushing with Q-Tips or paint brushes. The lighting for the pictures washes out a lot of the detail of the weathering.

Wow, that is really nice!! I once had a V2 rocket I built bought for a museum display. It was quite an honor for me knowing hundreds of people would be looking at it every year.

Excellent finished. I like it. I'm sure people will like it when they see it display in the museum. You should be proud.

Thanks guys, the biggest honor I have is to have known the pilot of the aircraft and to have had many conversations with him before his passing. If you have a minute please go to the Connecticut Air & Space Center museum's website to read about him. This is a man who took a shell in the cockpit which blinded one of his eyes but continued to strafe the enemy to protect his fellow Marines on the ground. Blows me away.
