Recommended Posts

Hello Dears,

Times are though here, but I manage to save a bit of time for modelling...

So Corsairs are helping in this case...

The same kit that I'm building !

Mine will be from the VF-17, Big Hog since I got a very good contact with J.T Blackburn !!

If you want an heavily weathered go for a Marines one...

The bomb support is almost good and was field made.

I can share some pics if it can help, as soon as you started it !!

Hello Dears,

Filling the unused structure lines...

Just to engrave new ones...

Still this is an Hobbycraft Corsair...

So, putty is mandatory !!

Hello Dears,

I was talking with @tonyot about his great Corsair collection...

Then, I see that we already are in July (Almost August) and no Corsair done by CC...

Unthinkable and Mmmmh Usual...

Tony resparked the Corsair Mojo in mentioning A Night Fighter Corsair in Korea...

Aaaand Dang !!

 

IMG_20200722_202500

This one fell from my attic !!

If I start this one, I'm sure that I will not finish a Corsair this year but...

I have a -5 on its way....

The Minicraft -5 is 4,5mm too short....

 

IMG_20200722_203023

And has some issues... In fact, it's the -4 slightly rectified....

Wings of the HB one are glued but still need a lot of sanding !!

IMG_20200722_221722

And then... Engraving...

Well Gents...

Sincerely.

I'll add a plug to have the right lenght !

And then correcting that exagerated hump behind the cockpit.

More to come soon.

Excellent cockpitery CC - just saw your workbench photo and wonder how you keep track of so many models on the go at once?

 

CJP

Thank you CJP

I must confess that I don't know...:rofl2:

Now, as I have some resin parts stuffed in my kit, it help...

And save some times... Theorically at least...:whistle:

Sincerely.
