      Hello Cousin… Sorry to hear you’re in more pain. I hope the surgery goes well for you. Im not building a Corsair at the moment but am building two P-47’s with big honking R-2800’s out front so close. 


My first build in 11 months, and I am so happy to be back at it. I promise to build at least three Corsair’s next year.

Good one cousin !!

I'm going to pay a visit to your big brutes...

Pacific Thunderbolts ? What's not to love ???

You two Corsair maniacs better get ready, I'm about to flood you with questions and requests... :winkgrin:

 

Ciao 

You are most welcome Maestro G !!

The more Corsairs, the better !!!

I'll try to finish another Corsair this year but, it will depend of my shoulder....

Who knows.....

Sanding can perhaps be a good therapy ??? :wicked::wicked:

Sincerely.

Since I shortened the fuselage....

Baionet cutting to preserve the most of the shape...:hobbyhorse::mental:

The joint between the wing and fuselage is now a huge step.....:shrug:

Get the chainsaw out....

IMG_20240114_205222

Right side okay and done....

Bonus track, the incidence of the wing is now restored....:cheers:

Then the inlet of the coolers....

IMG_20240114_210612

Different size and shape....

It is time for me to finish that one....

Started years ago.....

I also worked on the RF-86, F-22 and MiG 21....

Not too bad for my first evening back at the bench.....

Enjoy modelling gents !!!

Aaaaand have fun !!

Sincerely.
