Please finish off one of your Corsairs, CC -. for your own sanity ... Ciao Sanity ?? What's that ?? I'll quote @perdu There ain't a no sanity clause Thanks for the kind words Giorgio ! I take advantage on the fact that I'm already crazy.... Since 56 years to date These rocket stubs are a nightmare for my big stubby fingers !! I lost 2 in the process, I'll ask HB to buy a sprue, because they are accurate but too tiny to be replicated easily ! I'll finish at least one this year... The 2 Seafires 17 are pushing too, already started the painting ! Sincerely. CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hello Dears ! Did you ever get in these so-called restaurants, where one can eat some Junk food and get out with a gift ??? You know ? The one with a scary clown as a mascot ?? Up there, there no real food at all but Something of a gem for modellers... Next time ask for a ballon and save the handle !! Tatzaaam, it's not the first time for me to use it, it dissolve very well with Tamiya green cap ! Those are not @giemme plastic yoghurt jar (already used) but not so far ! SWMBO get crazy when she saw what I picked up for further use in modelling Outer wings panels finished and ready for the -2 Aaaaand The HB -4 is ready for priming and painting !! Good, good, GOOD !! I will finish a Corsair this year Not a Korean one but will be fun too with a background story !! Have a great modelling time Cheers Sincerely.

noelh Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Well I'm glad to see I'm not the only Corsairphile who seems to never quite finish one. I have a box of various F4Us in various scales mostly partially finished and painted not to mention the unstarted kits. I think in part I'm afraid to mess up and ruin my pet aeroplane. So I avoid them counterintuitively. I slobber over the Tamiya 1/32 Corsairs but won't buy them because it would be like giving a baboon a...... well a Tamiya Corsair. But it looks as if a finish is on the cards for you. Go for it. BTW, why is there a pink cast on a lot of the photos? At least on my phone.

Yes, there are Corsairologist and Spitophiles I think the pink cast is coming from my mistake habit of checking and (improve) (hum at least )the pics through my PC. I already have 2 finished Corsairs, a Mk I for my "Tungsten" serie and the -1 of John T. Blackburn... The Corsair is not so easy to improve, The engine is rarely well moulded, the interiors are frequently wrong on mainstream kits. Take your time and let us see your Corsairs ! Sincerely.

It's funny that you have mentioned this restaurant - a few years ago my ex-fiance was living with her sister in Colchester and when I visited her she told me that some friends had recommended a very nice restaurant with special offerings for two. So, I thought what the heck let's go and find out what's all the fuzz about it. Well, I can't say much about the food except that the portions were very large even for one person however, I didn't get a gift😮 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I help myself with a good beer when I'm modelling. Out of this, I drink a glass of wine when eating and not everyday.. SMW is a bit different since, I came up with rocket fuel from my friends, otherwise I must say that I did'nt get drunk for years. I know that this can be hardly believable when one is reading my threads.... As I'm not at home, I can't access the emoji, it's frustrating ! now pm me if I can help. sincerely PS I MUST stop smoking once again....

corsaircorp Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Hello Dears, Ok scary day for me today, I'll have a scanner of my coronarian arteries… I dread the result… The docs are searching the Reason of my hearth disorder In fact, yesterday, I commited 2 apple pies or so... And I cleaned up the center wing of my -2 There was putty and sanding… I'm back in a few minutes ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Best of luck for your scan, CC! Nice progress, meanwhile And the model looks good too ... Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 As I am home alone, nobody will complan about fumes Sooooo !! The -4 received some painting and one of the Seafire too I'm sad that I'll miss SMW this year... Let's say that SMW 2019 will be Exxxxtraordinary !! Have a great nmodelling time ! Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Let's the fun continue !! 🤬🤬 I'm glad with the painting of the -4, far less glad about the Seafire but that's my mistake….😩 First of all, I found back my bible and restart to read it for the 4th or 5th time…. When I finished my -1 last year, I was'nt sure about the words Big Hog on the tail of this one Since it was used CONUS for training only and moreover, the adventure started at Norfolk where there are and still is load of high brass But J.T. Blackburn was not a Spit & polish officer so my -1 is now fully corrected ! See ! Now , back at Hobby Boss !!! Seriously Guys !! Is this a Skull and Crossbones ??? So I took back a Jolly Roger from this decal sheet But now if the shape is right since on the pictures, the Jolly Rogers is a bit wavy, I must make these tiny white dash on the border…. That will be funny with my 5 O hairystick !! Now !!! What is this blue on the stars and bars, on the scheme it seem to be darker than the Non Spec sea blue…. Here's my answer to this glirch !! It's official, the -4 is now a Jolly Roger !! One more for my collection !! Thanks for your comments and have a great modelling time !! Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hello Dears, 🎶I must finish a Corsair this year 🎶 And here I'm or at least almost 🎶 Painted and decaled (that's a brand new verb for the harrap's) Now, I'm glad with the engine, look can one do with the OOB engine and a bit of scratch Now, correcting the propeller, the blade are too wide and the trailing edge is to be corrected ! And a view of the ones I did take care today… A way for you to see what's down the pipe ... Sooo, Thank for watching, or wasting your time on my lunacy... I wish a very good SMW for the ones who get up there ! Have a great modelling time and take care !! Sincerely. CC 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Hello Dears, Some news from the 1/48 Hartford, The desk for the -4B start to look the business I think, And I opened up the cooling flaps for a bit of improvement ! I also bored the rocket end for the -4, I think that it look far better that way, when compared with the last one on the left . And the Prop' has been rectified too, now, it's right on the plan ! Ok Dears, Thank for watching and have a great Week end ! Sincerely. CC Edited November 9, 2018 by corsaircorp problem for editing pics 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
