corsaircorp Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hello Dears, Here's a first for me.... STRIIIIIPES !!! Definitely, I did'nt like that and I'm not very happy with my work, To be disruptive, it actually is disruptive, it broke the appearance of the Aircraft that carry it. But I definitely cannot make Spitfire until the 5th of june, moreover I have a Korean war Seafire so ... To my yesterday question... I think that Hawker will be the next RFI but there are 2 contender for the next supermarine to get in the RFI. So Caldwell or Johnson jr ?? In between there will be another pretty unusual subject for me. Not a sailor, not a brit, but look like a '30 racer. Have a nice day and take care of yourself. Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hello Dears, Sunny Sunday, one can think of doing a little bit of a lizzard job. So I install the deck chair on what the dogs left from my tiny grass patch. Then I get a cold beverage and look what has happened in that 2' gap ?? The pleasure of a German Dogge !! I'll get another chair out, knowing that kids will use it, and I'm back to my desk. Finishing some job on the PC. Have a nice sunny Sunday, see you later. Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hello dears, I changed my mind about exhaust, too late for the Eduard Mk VIII, I must find a way to rework my exhaust stacks So this ICM Mk XVI will receive overtrees Eduard exhaust stacks for Mk XVI Just saw on the photo that I must clean up the gunsight's glass. More to come soon. Have a very nice day. Sincerely. Corsaircorp 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hello dears, I think that I got it ... There was a sink, more a pool than a sink, or let's say a big kitchen sink The XVI is on her way to RFI too , Sweet sixteen Making some parts for my Seafire and Mossie... And working on a nice little friend for the XVI, look... The pilot of this 190 is also a maverick and I like that !! Ok have a nice week end. See you on monday ! sincerely. corsaircorp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Hello DEARFFFF, no more teeth, fforry, Here we go wifff the PR XIX Don't you worry, it is the usual grey green, it's fun how the light and the camera can alter the colour Oxygen bottles alone without any tubing, what is it good for ?? Â One can say, oh it look like a 1/48 castle Bromwich... NO, it'is more Cunlife Owen, except for the future PR XI half fuselage. See you later. Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hello Dears, Here's what is happening when you buy swap kits !! I bought a box with at least 2 complete ICM Spits but, no windscreen for the Mk XVI (The Mk VII is already in RFI) Just as I was glad about my interior, look... As I was sanding the engine cowl, I think about installing the windscreen. I searched a while but no, I have the rear part but no windscreen. The eduard windscreen did'nt fit at all, think of the Otaki since the PR XI will have a Squadron one. But nope again, searching in my Spitfire genuine parts store and found this... Lot of sanding ahead ... But that's the best I have here, This XVI is also a Frankenspit, ICM, Eduard and now Tamiya... Let's see later.. Have a very nice styrene day Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 The Spitery is still on its way, The Mk VIII is on RFI and the first of the 3 Mk IX will soon go on RFI too, After Australia, let's go Canadian... The next will be a Russian and the following one will be PINK ! Is there a difference in between the Spit's seat ? The white is doomed, thank ICM, I prefer my resin seat... Okay Gents, have a nice day, tomorrow will be ... rainy ! Sincerely. Corsaircorp 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hello Dears, Some Spits news, I first work on U/C legs for Mk IX wich is about to enter the weathering phase ! and the Mk XVI wich is go on at her pace ! I modified the prop blades but the one of the ICM kit were way too bad, sink were hard to repair AS i had the brengun ones, a little adaptation and Yoplaaa ! Then I get the XVI primed, see look way better than on the previous pics, No ? Hoooops, I primed my hands too Then, I have a little relief, contemplating the other thing done this evening Aaaaand a bit of morale support A blue Chimay and a Liège waffle peperred with Brown sugar, a little bit in the oven and More to come soon on this Spitery, no Spiteries... Have a good modelling day. Sincerely. Corsaircorp 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodmin Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Love the D Day stripes. They just make our aircraft look mean and so damn cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Yes indeed, but what a nightmare for the modellers Luckily, these are not so tidy in the reality, hastily painted, so that's a kind of relief for us ! But IMHO, it broke the lines of the Aircraft There are 2 other zebraes in the making, and the Tiffy is already in the RFI section. Thank for the kind words. Sincerely.

Shelliecool Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Looking ace, really enjoyed reading your thread. I'm looking forward to seeing how your PRXIX compares to mine, being on a larger scale. Are you going to ascribe her with 'the Last? ' or does your kit come with a decal for it? Cheers, Michelle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Hello Michelle, Welcome aboard, Yes, will make her as "The Last", in that box Airfix offer the last or a swedish one. The Last seem "de rigueur" in my collection. PS 888 was not really the last Spitfire to fly actually with the RAF since the BBMFÂ still offer us a good feeling with their show But she has been to fly an operational mission. I always loved the Recce Spitfire, I'm turning an old Otaki Mk VIII int a PR XI... Lots of job but where will be the pleasure ?? You did great on your, congrats again ! Sincerely.

AlexN Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Lovely-looking Spitfires and 190 D9 there, CC :). The 190 looks like an Eduard kit judging by the olive green/brown plastic. Nice :).  I've got a large number of ICM 1/48 Spits squirrelled away, along with some Ultracast bits and pieces (mostly for Mk IX/VIII/XVIs), and have not been looking forward to the notorious sinkholes. I'd still rather have ten ICM Spitfires than one Hasegawa 'Mk IXc' - or whatever they though it was .  Cheers, Alex.

Hello Alex, I agree, the ICM are always kinda like a russian roulette ! some are pretty well moulded, some other are... Well they are ! But dimensions are right, I also have an Hasegawa, but no really pleasant and wrong, another cut and sand affair I tried to sell her on evilbay, but lots of modellers know ! The Mk VII and XVI are ICM as is the Mk IX that will be pink ! There is 3 Eduards wich are the best ones IMHO, and easy to build. Yes the D-9 is an Eduard one, will depict the late appearance of Dortenmann's machine There also is D-11 and Ni Fi A-8, very good kit but not for begginers at all ! Don't know much ICM I get... sorry ! Thank for your support Hope we will have lot of fun in the future ! Sincerely. CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Hello Dears, Let's have a last look at the interior before closing the fuselage, I scratchbuilded a rack for the side camera, did'nt put it in since the PR rarely flown with all 3. Last thing to add before buttoning the beast up, well, do not forget the wiring for the side camera CC This is not lost for everyone since the device will be included in the ICM FR IX. Have a nice modelling day, thank for watching and thank for your support ! Sincerely. Corsaircorp  3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hello Dears, Rack added, fuselage buttoned up You never had enough clamps, I read it somewhere here ! Holly Molly ! There will be some adjustment here ! More to come soon ! Have a very nice modelling day ! Sincerely. CC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
