The cowling being red would've been sweet looking.


I am not really a fan of that for some reason.   Maybe if I compared them side by side....    I suppose it is possible it was like that at some point but I have no photographic evidence.   Perhaps Keith Ferris knew something we don't.

No...the cowl was not red.

When he flew Yellow 1 his underside cowl was indeed Yellow.  But never Red.  Artistic choice only...until the day a first hand account or photo surfaces.

Close.  'Street Fighter' or 'Tough Guy' would be even more close.   :aok

(Thanks to Shifty).

It deserves a good home. Back in the day it was hanging between a P-47 and an F4U at my house.  ;)

It's still on the list, but I haven't started this specific scheme yet. But I have finished the A-8 template. But this semester is very intensive for me, thus time for skinning has been limited.

Understood.  No pressure.  Ha ha.  :)

Any luck on this one or didn't request a bridge too far?

It's in the paint booth, but not so much progress to show yet. The current A-8 project, a very late war Jg 301 bird,  is very far along but very complicated. Once that's done, I  can dedicate time to this one. It will go pretty quickly from there.

I appreciate that.  If it is too much, dump it.   I just thought it had a story to tell...

You are still da man regardless.   <S>
