Hello Dears...

Same engine, but a slightly different prop bade...

Having some 1/1 parts is also funny...

P-47 are also accepted...

I'll show you another part that I owned now...

And the next one will be the same as the ones used on the Corsair...:evil_laugh:

It still has to be smuggled home...:bandit:

The dinghy storage has been added on the XF4U

IMG_20210407_232054

And now, being carefull to not mess things up !!

Each PW to its own cowling...

 

IMG_20210407_230147

Hooops, I did'nt show you the F4U-1A...

IMG_20210402_225116

Nice progress, CC :clap:

 

Ciao

A killer look you said ??

Is this one looking better ????

IMG_20210409_121736

Some BMers met my son Nicolas in SMW, like @Martian and @Courageousor @Brandy

Nick has a bit of hard time to keep it in hands.....

IMG_20210409_121652

Ok, now the propeller blade and the guns will find a way in my tiny museum...

I will tell the whole story of that particular P-47 in my devoted thread..

So cousin @Corsairfoxfouruncle both parts are close to the Corsair's ones but who know...

Sincerely.

Your  blurglecruncheon seems to be a bit droopy CC and no-one likes a flabby one! (fnar, fnar, snurf, snurf)

Hello Dears,

Nice try Tamiya san, but still, it's not right !!

IMG_20210505_233853

I will remake the folding flap that close the gap in between the flaps....

I found another nice piece of art on FB...

Let me introduce you to this gentle Lady....

Hello Dears,

Will soon start to sing the usual song ....  🎼Must finish a Corsair this year 🎶

I added the flotation bags compartment.

IMG_20210602_005250

Yesterday, I finally have had the possibility of mowing the lawn....

But there will be arguments in a few hours....

IMG_20210601_151503

Sorry, I don't mow on the poppies...

Mrs CC will surely not agree....

I keep you in touch !!

Stay safe... Aaaaaand save the poppies !!

Sincerely.

Is this part of the right flap or the left one? Can we see the lower surfaces?

Hello Shalako,

This one is the right one, I let the lower surface flat.

But I thin the trailing edge a bit.

Hello Dears,

Well, however my days right now are shaky, (hence my really short time spent both on BM and on the bench) Sometime, a bit of luck can strike....

See, I was searching for this kit for years... And gotcha !!

IMG_20210607_214438

The price was a real hit, saying bargain is an understatement....

So I took this one too....

IMG_20210607_214634

Now, waiting for 2022 to start a new thread will be arduous....

See @The Spadgent even with these temptations, I keep my promise !!

So I think that on the next 1st or 2nd of January, we will have a WiP with 3 Cutlasses

Fingers crossed for having a bit of bench time this evening !!

Stay safe Gents aaaaand happy modelling to all !!

Sincerely.
