I cannot recommend the Fundekals instructions enough for some very interesting and mostly unknown quirks of the Corsair - including the radio aerials. This will be a very interesting build.

Very impressive masking and painting! What are you using for the roof of the cargo area? Which two detail sets are you using and do you recommend them? Thanks, Arrin

Nice weathering! This is going to look great. It's also nice to see your wheels metallic and not white like the instruction tell you to paint them. Very nice work - I look forward to seeing it come across the finish line.

Great build. I agree about the hard work you put into it. I built the 1/144 version and it took a lot of patience.

She looks great. Nothing to criticize at all. Welcome back to the hobby. You are obviously well on your way. You certainly picked a great kit to start with -Bandai's kits are kind of like cheating!

Very nice! The paint looks great.

Nice work on a very difficult kit!

Thanks. I appreciate the compliment. Thanks. It was a lot of fun too.

Very nicely done! I am again tempted to pull mine out of the stash and get it into the que. You have served that legend very well.

Very lovely. The photos are excellent.

Very nice looking Ferrari. I see nothing wrong with your abilities in cars!

Thanks for the compliment. The actual masks took about 8 hours to draw in AutoCAD and only 10 minutes to cut out on my Silhouette cutting machine. The actual application took a week of 1-2 hours of placing the individual masks, painting a color and waiting a day to do it again for the next color. It took nearly as long to take them all off, I kept finding little masks throughout the decaling and final assembly - I found the last one just as I was starting to add the final varnish. Thanks. It was actually more fun than I thought. Thanks - and yes, you are correct - it does look better on a dark background. I really need to focus on my photography skills - sorry for the pun!

That is one very lovely Spitfire. The finish looks terrific!

Thanks for the compliment and sticking around to the end!
