Hi All Happy New Year Just finished December 30, my take on one of our RNZAF F4U-1 Corsairs, NZ5347 which had a upper fuselage re-paint of US Glossy Sea Blue. The model is 1/72 Frog kit with a few modifications - Kit decals were still in good nick and the correct colours - note due to time constraints I didn't paint the Upper Starboard and Port lower Roundel Bar borders in RNZAF Pacific Blue, so they are still US Insgnia Blue Apologies for links instead of a photo it's either me or my photo hosting site Hope you like, thanks for looking in Regards Alan

Wow, nice job Alan! My Dad made that kit in the early 1970's, if not before. It was always the aircraft in his collection that took my eye the most as it was a Kiwi aeroplane.
Regarding the photos, you need to paste the links into the "Insert Image" box. So in the "Create Post" form where you go when you hit Reply below right, just click "Insert Image" (button along the top, two along from the http globe button) and the box comes up. Paste the link from your image host into the top line and hit the Insert Image button. You can use Preview to check it worked. i have fixed these photos in your post.

Hi Dave, Thanks, I'm glad you like it I'd like to do another Frog Kit (if I can ever find one) and make it the Frog version of NZ5457, except painted the correct RNZAF Colours. Thank you ever so much for fixing my photos and advice on how to post my photos on the forum Thanks/regards Alan
