Thanks Jamie, Unfortunately a lot of my earlier postings were disabled by the PB Ransom scheme, but I`ve re-populated the Spitfire and the AU-1 Corsair, there`s also a French Indochina Grumman Goose that was done recently. If you click on the `Tag` Indochina you`ll find them easily. I`ll probably re-populate the others over time when time and other commitments allow. All best, Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Russ, very nice set! Regarding ex-Japan machines there were I think Ki-51 Sonia, Ki-21 Sally, Ki-36 Ida, not only Hayabusa and Jake in French colours... Lot to do Cheers J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hello Russ ! Now.. You cannot deny the word "expert" both in models and history. Great job and superb collection. I was friend with a french pilot from the "Saintonge" flying the Bearcat. They had a game... Racing in the bay of Along, the first who get over the top of these huge rocks was deemed to pay the fees of the party in Hanoi .. He did gave me some photos, but I must remaster it. Congratulations. Sincerely. Corsaircorp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hello Russ, What a magnificent collection. My favorite is the Corsair. Question: What is the difference between a Mark 4 or 5 Helldiver. It was all over after the battle of Dien Bien Phu Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hello Russ, Just a question, how was the building of the "Fonderie" Kingcobra ?? I got her in my stash and was wondering about it.... Have a very nice day.. Sincerely Corsaircorp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) Beautiful stuff, Sir. Wonderful modelling. Hard to select a favorite, but that Corsair certainly looks ready for business.... Edited July 14, 2017 by Old Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: What is the difference between a Mark 4 or 5 Helldiver. It was all over after the battle of Dien Bien Phu Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. Hi Orion, Thanks. Differences between the MK 5 and the rest are: an extended bomb bay and doors to facilitate carrying a torpedo, frameless canopy, different propeller ( I modified an old Thunderbolt one ) and different cockpit layout with side consoles. there are probably lots of other detail differences but I didn`t bother with anything else.

Sincerely Corsaircorp Hi Corsaircorp, Sand paper, epoxy glue, plastic card and filler are ( will be ) your friends , the decals were very good. I used a spare spinner and propeller off an Eduard Airacobra as the kit spinner resembled a peanut. But it can`t be that hard as I managed it. Good luck with yours, hope to see it someday.
