Thank you! The trick with the serials is you didn't see the 4 attempts prior where I 'rubbed out' the failures with a cocktail stick!
Calling the Corsair Complete
Perhaps unsurprisingly a few things popped up last minute, these didn't take long but I'd be just about read to take photos and I'd remember a new task. Pushrods on the ailerons and elevator, a missing piece from the wheel wells. Just as I was about to work on the nav lights (which were to be sanded down from the original kit piece) I remembered that KD431 does actually have nav lights fitted, so a hole will drilled to mimick the missing bulb, and of course finally the anti-slip mats were done. This was done with NATO black, some neutral grey highlights, and then some medium grey drybrushing.
Regardless here's the end result, I'll need to get that headline written up!
Thanks for following along folks, and for all your input over this project's duration!
