Enzo the Magnificent Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 One of my all time favourite kits and markings. I intend to do this scheme in 1/48. If Hobby Boss ever see fit to release their kit and it's not a caricature of the real thing. I'm looking forward to this build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deon Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Love the Corsair, fantastic aircraft, sadly no longer have this in my collection although built a one in my teens. Are you going with the green stripe scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) First progress... A strange thing. The boxart shows the planes with six MG's. But the kit has seperate parts for a cannon version.The underwings also have the three slots for the empty shells. But no seperate part for the six MG version. So I'm concidering to fill the slot in the leading wing edge and then drill the MG holes. Edited June 15, 2010 by Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deon Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Sounds like a good solution Erwin, I found the MB method very hard to get a neat finish with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 I had to improvice at the last moment as the kit's decals silvered to much. Went true my decalstach and found some better ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
