Here's another of Gary Dare's wonderful re-paints remembering and celebrating war veterans. This is his Fiddlers Green F4U Corsair he did to honour Korean War vets. Gary's own father William served in both WWII and Korea.
I made up a stand for this and future Musicman builds using little rare earth magnets to hold the subject model in place. Hope you like this one and I hope Gary's re-paints and this series of builds give cause to always remembering our War Veterans- the free world would not be what it is without them. Garry G.

I like your build of the repaint Garry, neat and clean. Also think that the stand you made is cool. Thanks for doing threads on Gary's repaints.

Thanks Elliott. Happy to do my little bit for a worthy cause. And to me acknowledging and thanking veterans of all conflicts is one the worthiest causes going.

Very well done Garry, very nice, as always, a great work, admirably built. Yesterday I started the F4U of Nobi with the colors of my country, if I get half of what you did, I will be satisfied. Very well done!

Hi Guys,
A BIG thanks to you my friend Garry. You honor me, but more important,,, you honor veterans of wars with your wonderful builds on my re-paints. You do a beautiful job on these models. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! The Corsair looks great. And for you and everyone else,,, here is a picture of my DAD flying a corsair. He flew most everything the Navy had, And also was a flight instructor between WWII and Korea. I look forward to seeing your next build. I know it will be fantastic. Best Regards, Gary ( musicman ) |

Been "offline" for a bit. Glad to see you are doing your part to remember. Hopefully if we remember we won't repeat the same mistakes.

Next Model- A Hellcat!
Here's my latest build of Gary Dare's commemorative repaints- the Grumman F6F Hellcat by Fiddlers Green remembering our WWII veterans.
Gary's dad William flew a Hellcat as well as serving as LSO on the USS San Jacinto (CVL-30) for 17 months of WWII. The real Hellcat pictured here has William Dare in the cockpit. Hope you like this one too Gary.
