:rofl2::rofl2: What ??? This is a bent wing bird ?? Is'nt it ???

This poor Stuka did'nt have any WiP for the same reason

Bigger than a Corsair ...

 She represented her cosplay red lenses...

We're all dying to know what colour your cosplay lenses are CC!

(Your daughter's painting looks great btw - please pass on my compliments.)

 

That is some lump of engine in that Corsair! Coming along very nicely. 👏

Hello Dears,

I did'nt have too much to show since I worked mainly on 2 non WiPed models

But I manage to do the collapsible flap on my Corsair

WP_20190304_22_22_16_Pro

Plus some other things of course but Nothing Worth a pic !!

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

Still, I also spent some times on my Corsairs...

WP_20190321_21_56_24_Pro

and on the next RFI methink !!

I also started to clean up the XF4U

WP_20190321_23_06_15_Pro

Back in January, when Sirius came here at CC castle, I took him to a dog walk organised by SWMBO...

It was also MY first walk after my hip surgery !

And someone took this pic ..

When I saw it, I burst in laugh !! reminding me of this other pic !!

:rofl: Brilliant! Big dog, BTW! I hope everything is fine with your hip now :) 

 

Nice progress on the Corsairs :clap: The XF4U Looks like in need of more filling, though...

 

Ciao

Hope you are getting better Cousin. Im sorry i had no idea you had surgery, please excuse my ignorance. 

Oh thank you !

Don't you worry Dear cousin, it was last December, I resumed working since the 4tf of March

What should I say, I'm free from this boring and Killing pain that marred my life for around 12 years !

Hello Dears,

I selled some of my old Matchbox 1/72 kits on evil Bay...

and here's what I've done with the money earned...

WP_20190325_10_44_31_Pro

Did I hear "What ?? Another Corsair ?? "

Think that there's no cure for Corsair buying in my case !!

An evening work Week is beggining today… Will not finish a kit this month !!

Have a great modelling time...

Sincerely.

Hello Dears,

I enjoyed my only day off in my evening work Week...

It was Bench time !!

WP_20190327_23_46_50_Pro

Some paint prepared !!

WP_20190327_23_47_00_Pro

Flaps are corrected and can be called "case closed" !

Agreed your honor ! case closed...

WP_20190327_23_47_14_Pro

NiFi mufflers are done on one side...

After that, I'll put the engine cowling on its place...

And then… And then… And then….

Hè Hè

Painting….

I think that I can have 2 RFI in April

Have a great modelling time !

Sincerely.

Hello Dears !

Time to be a Grumpy again !! 🤬🤬🤬:mg:

Seemingly HB is in anger with the Corsair's cowling !!

If you do a -1 Corsair !! Be carefull !! Do not put the cowling as per the destructions !!

Or you will have a Pinocchio Corsair !!

WP_20190403_23_02_39_Pro

Allow almost 2 mm of clearance, because the crankcase will be too prominent...

WP_20190403_23_02_32_Pro

It is right that way, except that NOW one must fill the gap….

So just like in London tube !! "Mind the gap"

:evil_laugh: I better say some dumb thing instead of hiding my face in my hand and start to cry...

WP_20190403_23_06_51_Pro

More and more Corsair now..

And I fixed the NiFi mufflers !!

WP_20190403_23_03_05_Pro

I will just flatten the exit with a plier tomorrow !!

The HB exhaust are anemic… I think that the model has been copied on mopet exhaust !!

Sincerely.

hello Dears !!

Yesterday, it was a great modelling evening for me !!

I did'nt do a lot but my 15 years old so Nicolas resume modelling !

He abandoned his kits when he was 8 years old and I saved all his stuff...

Hoping for this day to arrive !!

This one has suffered a lot...

WP_20190424_20_59_11_ProWP_20190424_20_59_26_Pro

He did this 1/48 F4U-7 but it's too much work to repair it

Too many missing parts

So he received a brand new kit as a welcome gift !!

Have a great modelling time !!

Sincerely.

I didn't ask, but I took it for granted - maybe the occasional sip here and there, that's all he's allowed for (that's my policy with my daughters, anyway :winkgrin: )

 

Ciao
