If anyone interested, there's a 43 minute you tube video (originally a history channel episode) that is called "The True Story of the Black Sheep Squadron" which details Pappy Boyington's life and that of the Squadron. For me, especially after being a huge fan of the Baa Baa Black Sheep TV series, it was very interesting. Many of you may have already seen it, but if not, take a look, it's worth the time, especially if you are a Corsair fan like me. Needed to take a break, working on cowl flaps for the Corsair (no, not 3D printed or operational), so I needed a diversion. Photos to come in a few days (unless it fails miserably and I trash the project)Hugh "Wildman" Wiedman

OK, finally finished my version of the cowl flaps, without using a 3D printer (or 98% of my brain-which is mostly dormant). I've always loved this plane, but for over a year, been disappointed in the panel lines that were used to simulate cowl flaps. C'mon, a Corsair has 2 distinctive features, the gull wing and cowl flaps. Ever since Brandon Moon (I think he did a cowl flap mod-forgive me if it was someone else) did his mods over a year ago, I've been itching to do something with mine. Then Tom starts with operational cowl flaps, and I have to admit, never thought it could be pulled off. Well congrats to him, he's a superstar. On second thought, I think he's part of a technologically advanced alien species on this planet just to give us mortal earthlings "cowl flap envy". I can't imagine what he's going to come up with next.
Anyway, couldn't come close to his work, so have to live with my non-functional 2nd rate substitutes, but still better than the stock I think. After finishing, I think I should have made them slightly longer and open wider (but the 2% in my brain insanely had the idea that it would mess up the aerodynamics of a beautifully flying machine-how crazy is that). I used .020 styrene and cut a strip and the flaps into it, then inlaid it into the foam.
I'm almost embarrassed to post these pictures following Tom's work, but what the hell, I ain't shy about showing my .
