corsaircorp Posted March 7, 2022 Author Posted March 7, 2022 Well, I found this pic.... Quoted as being from HMS Pursuer, North Atlantic, April 1944..... It smell strongly of Operation Tungsten.... Any advice my Dear @Grey Beema??? Sincerely. CC 5
Brandy Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 Isn't it about time you actually finished something? You're taking over the WIP threads! 🤣 See you in Telford my friend! Ian 2

Interesting photo. What’s going on with those roundels - Trick of the light or a partial repaint? Right stub wing looks darker than outer wing - Dirty foot prints? Touch up of paint around, is it dingy stowage behind the cockpit? Whip aerial. Coloured wheel hubs. I assume left wing in not locked hence the aileron deflection one side not 5he other(?) or am I seeing things?

As 2021 as been a Sh.... year, I'm working to clean up my shelves.... Finger crossed for Telford '22, But winning at the lottery will be helpful Diesel fuel at 2 euros for a liter and heating fuel at more than 1 euro per liter.... It will be hard to do actually...

Yup, look like a good way to go Repainted roundels is almost sure to me Paint or sealant on the dinghy stowage look almost sure too Clothing of deck crew is relevant for North Atlantic in April.... Even in in August it can be relevant in fact... I found my collected docs about Tungsten... Now starting only one Wildcat/Martlet will be the hardest part of the game.... Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted January 26, 2023 Author Posted January 26, 2023 Hello Gents, I collected parts from Eduard and Airfix ponies in order to adorn this empty space of the Barracuda.... A way like another.... Of course that will not be the exact black boxes... But at last, it will look better than an empty space.... More to come soon... CC 7

CC I do love how you nonchalantly pick up a thread after ten months and simply carry on. 🤩🙌 . Alain my boy your mind palace must be so well maintained, I’m in awe of your modelling skills and the ability to remember what’s going on with each kit at all times. Sometime I can’t remember why I entered a room. 😂 Excellent internal details. 👏👏👏 Johnny. 1

Meanwhile, Ribbing was the word yesterday !! No I wonder about the radar screen, there are no representation of it at all... Well nobody will notice it once the fuselage is buttoned up but..... More to come soon on the Tungsten penultimate.... For this while.... Sincerely. CC 5

Still I don't understand why CA has detailed the 1/72 one interior, and let the 1/48 so void ???? I collected a lot of switch boxes and so for having something more realistic... Then a Wildcat for completing my Tungsten serie ?? Have a great modelling week !! Sincerely. CC Hi CC, I'm loving all these builds and following thes topic. I have a Barracuda by Special Hobby but it's equipped with a set of resin parts for the interior.Among them are some walls to be glued to the fuselage halves in this area. Here below a link where you can see the pics of all the parts. Maybe yours is a different reboxing without them.Is there any reference in the kit instructions?
