corsaircorp Posted May 13, 2019 Author Posted May 13, 2019 Hello Dears ! Look ! here's the way to be a stupid modeller !! I spent some times to create a landing light cover…. Aaaaaand ??? I did'nt put it on its place at the right time…. Now that will be funnier with the guns, rocket and U/C doors …. Yesterday was the historic rally !! I get to my colleague's house situated on the track !! It was fun ! TR-7, A-110, A full load od Escort, Ascona and Manta !! We have had some ammos with us !! Pretty funny day... Have a great modelling time and take care !! Sincerely. CC 7

The Spadgent Posted May 15, 2019 Posted May 15, 2019 The lovely lady looks great CC. Sorry about my last post, I added a laughing emoji by accident. I changed it now.  looking forward to the RFI 🤩  Johnny 1
corsaircorp Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 Hello Dears ! The firebox is RFIed here ! Thank for your support !! Sincerely. CC 1
corsaircorp Posted June 20, 2019 Author Posted June 20, 2019 Hello Dears, Let's bring this thread to its completion !! Now that the firefly join the Seafire, let's get back to this one !! The corsair is a huge fighter, but the Barracuda is a torpedo bomber... That will be a big one huh !! There will be some work on this one too !! Now wich one will join the Corsair MkII first ?? Barracuda ? or Gannet Hellcat ?? See you later friends !! Have a great modelling time !! CC 6

Now that's a background !! Trained on Corsairs in April '45 ? so He was readied for the BPF ?? Having your kit judged by someone who has worked on the real thing !! It should a kind of stress, is'nt it ?? Sincerely. CC 1
corsaircorp Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 Hello Dears, Just a little addto say that the Barracuda is still on her way !! This is the kind of picture that drive me mad !! I just want to run on the attic and start some Tomcats !! Then my favourite Squadron !! Sincerely. CC 5
corsaircorp Posted July 12, 2019 Author Posted July 12, 2019 Hello Dears, I now start with the internals, I added the compass from anoter kit ! Now correcting the stick, flat one and almost protruding from the cockpit... I don't know if she will sit beside the Corsair and the Hellcat this year but.... Take care Gents, especially the one living in So Cal !! Sincerely. CC 4
corsaircorp Posted July 12, 2019 Author Posted July 12, 2019 Hello Dears, I will here revive a great thread !! It will help me and maybe helping any other Barracuders !! I mean Fairey Barracuders ! 'cause our Dear @TheBaron has practised its magic on a 'Cuda 3byears ago ! Sincerely. CC 1
corsaircorp Posted July 13, 2019 Author Posted July 13, 2019 Hello Dears, The compass was too low, so I carefully get it out ! The seat is starting to look the part ! More in a few days, evening work week is already back... Sincerely. CC 4
corsaircorp Posted July 22, 2019 Author Posted July 22, 2019 Hello Dears, I received it today, Pierre BS 103, has found it... Sincerely. CC 5
corsaircorp Posted June 13, 2020 Author Posted June 13, 2020 Hello Dears, Well, Corsair and Hellcat are done... Even if these 2 brutes did'nt deserve the name of perfect Ladies... To me the one with the bent wings is ... It's about time to finish the Tungsten serie... I lost my mojo a bit when I saw that the Barracuda was so empty... Then the Brengun transkit did'nt help for that matter ! Well, I start the ribbing !! Still, I mish mashed this kit... There will be an Accurate miniature bomb under the SH Barrcuda ! Aaaand eduard bomb hung under an ICM Mustang... My good Lady is fascinated by the sundown... And take some great piccies... Here's an example... Have a great modelling sunday !! And good father day to all the father among you all !! Sincerely. CC 3
corsaircorp Posted May 10, 2021 Author Posted May 10, 2021 Hello Dears, Another one that I will finish this year and let the thread go BM's abyss.... 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. CCÂ 5
bigbadbadge Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Hi CC I have one of these planned for my FAA thread, great to see one being built, I have the Brengun set too, so more scratchbuilding ahead then, thanks for the heads up. Great work Chris 1

Great work Chris You're welcome Chris Alas the Brengun kit did'nt help for the internals... But I will save or use templates since the next 'cuda will have folded wings... Following the master @TheBaron on this path.... CC 2
corsaircorp Posted September 11, 2021 Author Posted September 11, 2021 Hello @uhebeisen More Tungsten stuff on here, do not hesitate to pay a look at the links embedded... Welcome to Britmodeller, it's a beehive of maniacs hentusiast folks !! Sincerely. CC 1
corsaircorp Posted January 22, 2022 Author Posted January 22, 2022 Hello Dears, I'm looking at my started kits... Hum.... It's time to do what has been planned last year.... I worked on this one too... I'll use the resin parts as templates and follow my own way.... That will make my Operation Tungsten almost complete... Corsair, Gannet and Barracuda... I wonder myself if there was more aircraft models involved... Seafires or Martlets guarding the fleet, but I'm not sure at all... I'll check my files... or maybe a helping hand from BM beehive ??? Stay safe Gents !! and enjoy modelling !! Sincerely. CC 5
bigbadbadge Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Good to see the Cuda back on the bench CC be great to see this progress. Chris 1
