Hello Dears,

2021 has been so shaky, I'll not finish a great amount of kits....

And I must finish a Corsair this year !!

Nose and engine added !!

Look a bit like Cher or MJ getting out of an hospital but...

Still if I finish 2 Jolly Rogers this year, it will be fine...

Stay safe Gents !!

More to come soon ...

Yesterday, I turned back the keys of my parents appartment...

Emptying it was a rough task, both physically and emotionally...

One more thing done...

Hi CC,

 

I hope that some good bench time helps healing - I find it helps when times are tough,

 

All the best,

 

Roger

As Roger said. I hope you find some solace at the bench dear one. Tough times for you but if you ever need a shoulder we’re here if you want us.

Hello Spad,

Since my infancy, aviation history and modelling helped me to cope with all the turmoil I went through....

And I thank you for your help, it's greatly appreciated !

Hello Dears,

Caught in the crossfire from the doggy's problems and my evening work...

I did'nt have a lot of benchtime....

The mojo is more a lawn mower than a full speeding Corsair at 30.00ft.....

But, I'm here....

Final maskings....

IMG_20211121_232417 IMG_20211121_232426

I was bound to finish 2 Corsairs this year... But I think, it's a kind of dream....

Huh, I received news from Alley Cat, seemingly my order is processed...

That's a good new for my Cranberries....

And the Target Facilities SIG...

Sincerely.

Good to see the masking on CC looking forward to seeing the paint progressing. I hope you're okay fella.

Thanks Chris...

Morale level are down, modelling and my friends in this forum are a kind of refuelling...

You asked for, that's done...

Not too bad, I've got a better result with MIG paints when I thinned it with medical alcool (90°)

It's a trick that I use with both Gunze and Tamiya ones...

Pick up here and there, but it's not too bad...

IMG_20211122_212753 IMG_20211122_212812

I'm eager to weather this one....

I have pics of the orginal one, Blackburn again of course !!

I prepare a very special RFI....

Before December the 31th... Obviously...

Now, it's a race with 2 Jolly Rogers... So F4U or F-4B ????

Sincerely.

CC
