The Revell kit, despite it's age, is pretty good. The fit is nice and it does include the option to fold the wings if you wish. Detail in the cockpit is a bit lacking, but you only see that if you look close enough! I think this makes number 9 for the year, going nicely so far.

The aircraft is one used in the 100 Hours, or more commonly known as the Soccer War between Honduras and El Salvador in 1969. It was the last air war fought with piston engined aircraft, Honduras flying Corsairs and El Salvador flying a mix of Mustangs and Corsairs. Surviving fighters on both sides continued to serve into the 1970's. 

Very very nice.

Has that "last hurrah" air about it which you have captured well.

Nine in four months. Pretty good strike rate.

I've got one of these somewhere in the hope of doing an FAA one one day ... whenever ... possibly never ... probably never ...

There is a similarly good one over on Britmodeller but it was in the El Salvadran Air Force ...

Haha, I never was good at spelling!

You've done the old Revell kit justice Brad. A really nice build and paint job of an often forgotten fracas over a bag of wind.
For some reason (lost on me anyway) I like your work on the flap footholds, they really stand out. Top build mate.

Wayne.

nice work Brad

Looks great Brad, I wish I could finish something!

Shit that is nice Brad!!!
I love your exotic modelling subject matter.....always unusual and most interesting.
