Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 24-Sep-10 18:10 | | Views : 1868 | Just about ready to be papered. I plan on painting this one blue with a light blue bottom.Here it is with the propeller and rubber motor installed. I haven't glued anything yet. |
Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 24-Sep-10 18:08 | | Views : 1816 | The Dumas kits are very lightweight flying models. So I added a few extra stringers and ribs. I took two of the 6" stock kit propellers, cut them down, crossed lapped to a hub made from the end of a ball point pen cap. I just need to paint it black and I'll have a scale looking prop for the Dumas F4U Corsair. |
