The difference between old and new is huge, my friend @johnb! The Corsair looks awesome!

I really like how the markings on the wing came out, John (@johnb). Great looking Corsair. Bathroom looks good, too.

I'm sorry I have been radio silent lately. We have been very busy with other things and I have not even had spare time to log into Imodeler lately. Needless to say no bench time either... 🙁

You sure have done a magnificent job with your bathroom remodel. It's a good feeling knowing that you are the person who's hands have crafted something that looks so nice. Not just everyone can do this type of thing. I really like what you have done with the remodel, and you should be very proud of your work.

We finally finished up the two year (plus) restoration of Sandy's Dakota R/T. Then we too have been working on a home repair. When it's done I'll PM you some before and after pictures too.

I also like the work on your Corsair. It shouldn't be too much longer now, and you should be able to have this one wrapped up.

Keep it going my friend, you are on a roll.

Painted the ID lights and started weathering.

Nice, John @johnb. Louis’ 1/1 Dakota looks good too.

Added some dirt on the bottom and exhaust stains.

You need serious exhaust stains, @johnb. The pilot might think there was something wrong with the airplane, looking like that. 🙂

I agree with TC. Consider stretching those two long exhaust stains past the flaps and add some exhaust stains around the bottom cowl flaps, John @johnb. Check out some of L. Gardner’s here on iModeler. The finish line right up ahead!
