1/48 Eagle F2G-1 Super Corsair

Found these pictures on face book.  1/48 F2G-1 Super Corsair conversion.  According to a lot of vacuumform builder it is an excellent kit.

All photos are by Larry Schmidt

Built model and photo are Joe Hegedus.  Joe used the wings from the Hobbycraft Corsair kit.

 Below is what Boyd Waechter has say

Here is another model I completed using War Eagle decals, the F2G-2.  I built and highly modified the Special Hobby F2G kit and used the black/yellow checkered decals from Ron's vacuform F2G-2 kit.  I built this model about 11 or 12 years ago before Rodney Williams let it be known through his research that the cowling was actually dark sea blue and yellow with a slightly lighter blue diamond on the cowl ring.  But, at the time, what Ron did seem to fit the black and white photos of this airplane so you can't fault him (or me) for that.  I coated them with some Micro Liquid Decal film and they came off the sheet and layed down perfectly, no issues whatsoever.

Lone Star model did a 1/32 scale conversion at once time.  Here is the decal sheet with the colors Boyd mentions.

War Eagle "Tulip Nosed" Bf-109 decal sheet

Talk about a Blast from the past.  This sheet was printed in 1992.  The data more than likely is out of date. But the decals are very nice.   From my own collection    More can be found here: Hartmann's last Bf-109  FalkeEins is a great website on the Luftwaffe during WW2

Sorry about the quality of the scans of the instruction sheet.  The original instruction sheets are very light. 

War Eagle Bf-109 G-14 decal sheet WED011 part2

This the complete decal sheet as package in the 1990's.  The sheet was printed by Scale-Master. Ron believe that this  company made a high quality decals.  All the information for the camouflage color where consulted with the Bf-109 experts at that time in the 90's.  As we know now the interpretation of the color has been changed as more information has come to light much later after the decals where printed.  These are approved by my pocket book.

It is nice to see the War Eagle decal still being used after all these year.  Too bad Ron had pasted away before this article was published. This is part 1 more to follow

Following by Brett Green

I had an ancient set of War Eagle decals in my collection for many years, and always wanted to use the markings for Black 253, a Bf 109 G-14. I was intrigued but doubtful by the suggested camouflage of RLM 81 Brown Violet and RLM 83 Dark Green. After discussions with artist Anders Hjortsberg, I agreed with his conclusion that the aircraft was most likely finished in RLM 74 and 75 greys.
