Is that possible ? 🧐 Im a huge nut for corsairs, wonder if there is a peak to building those ? Think i need to find out someday ? Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_R Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Hi All I've got the cockpit pieces ready for assembly. Next glue it all together and close up the fuselage. Dave. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 gee all those bit look great!! Hopefully I'm correct in assuming it's a 1/48th scale model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hi All, Most of the assembly is done. It needed a bit of filler at the wing root, but otherwise no problems. Dave. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 wow from nothing to something very quickly! Looks good. May I suggest instead of using filler for the gaps and getting it everywhere as filler likes to do, the you try using some stretched sprue. You can easily draw it to the thickness you want and it fills gaps and holes a treat. Cleaning up and finishing the join is easy as the material is all the same and you'll end up with a better and stronger join, plus no chance of shrinkage. Anyway nice quick progress, painting time soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hi All, And that's most of of the painting done. So, prop, undercarriage and decals and it's nearly done. Dave. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_R Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 Hi All, I've not forgotten this build - just a lot of others on the go at the same time. I was going to finish this in RAF markings - but I had another look at the decals and I'm going with the Swedish ones as the the yellow on blue looks rather nice.
