Mike finished a Hasegawa 1/48 scale F4U-5 Corsair as Honduran air force aircraft number 604 flown by Bob Forbes. “He was part of a team in the late 1970s that brought several Corsairs back to the States,” Mike says. He used Model Master paints to replicate the fighter dark blue “almost black” camouflage that was heavily weathered upon the return flight. “I did weathering and exhaust stains as it looked in Bob's reference photos,” Mike adds. “Great project!”
