"White 20" flown by 1st Lt Foy "Poncho" Garison, VMF-213, Guadalcanal June/July 1943.
Tried a few new things on this build:
Post-shading and no pre-shading (although, in my mind, the process is fairly similar).
Sanded back the decals to distress them slightly.
Oil dot filter (Well, first time I got it to work).
Put a Geezer in the cockpit (haven't done that in ages and fancy doing it again with the aircraft in flight).
A few things I might have done differently, primarily the cockpit cut outs on the turtle-deck as I think they should be the same colour as the fuselage. The tail number does not match the aircraft as I had a decal problem during the build and managed to remove nearly all but the tail numbers. And I've just noticed that I've not painted the nav light on the fuselage spine but, as I've typed all of this and I'm currently 70 miles from the model, that can wait.
As always, great to take part in these group builds here on ISM and here's to many more.
Thanks for looking.
