F4U-4 Corsair Academy 1/48 [Wrong Carrier Landing] Full Build 

What sort of helicopter was it?

Lol , I'd like to see the pictures of that. Some of my paintings did not go good at all, lol.

As a civilian, a story like this would be a reason for me to pay taxes

Thanks! It's a mix of both, I got a resin cockpit for a Hasegawa kit and didn't fit in some places, so I took most of the resin bits and mated it with the plastic ones of the kit to make it fit a lot better.

I am actually planning on selling some decals for this aircraft on eBay, but I know nothing of international shipping in my country whatsoever.

@@moixmodels This is awesome news. If you sell them internationally, I am down for two sets.

@@dekon70 I bring good news, the decals are finally listed to be bought on eBay, this is the link if you're interested: www.ebay.com/itm/3041490953846

@@moixmodels Someone bought them before I could. If you run them again, let me know.

@@moixmodels Sold out before I could get them. Let me know if you do another run of them Absolutely want a set.

I used cheap hairspray, decanted it to a bottle so I can airbrush it easily

Thank you!

Hope this explains it. "When aircraft carriers operate in close groups, it could happen that one pilot lands on the wrong carrier. It has become tradition to put all kinds of Graffiti all over the plane before sending it back to his original carrier. This is what happens to Lcdr. W.S. Miller of VF-63 "Fighting Redcocks" in 1952 when he flew of USS Boxer to a strategic bombing mission over Northern Korea . He missed his own carrier and instead landed on USS Princeton."

@@fearofthedark666 Its a joke. When a (fighter) aircraft takes off from carrier A, and accidentally lands on carrier B, its kinda of running gag to paint jokes on that plane. In real, that is what happend to this specific plane, it landed accidently on the wrong carrier. And payed the price with a new paintjob :)

I used Adobe Photoshop and illustrator to design the decals myself and went to a small local print shop near my house, there's only one guy who knows how to use a laser printer there, the boy explained to me what I had to do for their printer to recognize my design to print in white, I bought some thin transparent decal paper on amazon, I came with my paper to the print shop and finally got it to print in white. The only problem that I have come across is that they do not have a way to square the sheet to print a second time in color on the white base without it being moved or out of register, so for now I can only make a decal of two parts, white first and color on top, the carrier film is a little thicker, but it is so thin that it dissolves well anyway.

well, at least 5 weeks of modeling and around 50 hours maybe apart from a couple of weeks of practicing and learning to make custom decals, I may do a video about it in the future, who knows?

I am the maker of these decals, I designed them myself and went to a local print shop with my decal paper to print them with a laser printer, I am thinking of selling some custom decals on eBay tho, but I know nothing about international shipping in my country, only time will tell.
