Gallery Announcement: F2G Corsair

[willja67]

I've posted a few photos of my F2G Corsair model in the planes Gallery here. I designed this model by hand meaning that I used Autocad which has no unrolling capabilities.

Howdy Will,

No matter how many times I see that model I am still in awe of what can be done with paper....and I have built paper models. Thats a fairly large bird at 1:32 scale. I see you are going with the checkered nose? I cant wait to see it colored up. I am not sure what thickiness card you used, but I would almost bet you could color that particular model with an airbrush and not have any sag.

Anyway, thanks for sharing it,

Greg aka GW

Well GW that's the model I've got in my gallery over at cardmodels.net I just wanted to show off a little over here. FYI for everyone on this site I'm going to be releasing this model in 3 different paint jobs, Race #'s 57 and 74(my pics are of #74) and BuNo 80454 which are the only surviving F2G's in the world. Given the popularity of #57 it's the one I'm going to release first.
