Of course it is, Marius. You just blew my mind with those Corsair ideas! That’s some wonderful scratchbuilding you are doing there. I so appreciate the magic! Taking apart the wheel wells, grinding off the surfaces, and rebuilding the ribs are fantastic building steps. It’s also great just to see a Copic marker in a build sequence! Fantastic work! Congratulations!

Thanks again.
Here is the promised X-29 update.
I spent some time with making the canards rotatable and give some paint to sections where it would be difficult to paint after assembly .

I always appriciate that you guys are so interested in my work.
And it is a shame that I had not much time when I was in DC to see all those great aircrafts. So thanks for your image Bruce.
The decals seem to be typically Hasegawa. Thick and I guess the blue is too dark.
Once it is prepared for painting I will prime it in black. Then I will apply thin layers of thinned white to created a subtile effect as I had done it in the Convair. This is Not to create a used look but to break a toylooking gloss white surface. So coloring concept has been shown on the intake coloring.
