modelling minion Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Wasn't sure whether to "like" the above or give the "sad" face! Really sorry that you weren't happy with your scratchbuild efforts, I think we all were, but its your model and if you're happier with hos she looks now then that is the most important thing, it is your model after all! I look forward to your next update. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Laidlaw Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 You have to be happy with it, Paul - that is the whole point, and I applaud your willingness to scrap it. (I still think it was brilliant, though 🙂.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks just like your 1/32 scale version Paul, excellent scratch work in my opinion. Either way, cowl flaps open or closed, this is shaping up to be a special build. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 what a shame about the cow; flaps...i actually didn't think they looked to bad at all. I did the same on a 1/48th one I built (Tamiya) but used resin replacements for the front and rear of the cowl from Vector Resin. All those wee bits in the cowls are seperate bits too! .......oh look, they even do a set for your beast as well!!! https://www.neomega-resin.com/132nd-f4u-1-corsair-cowl-and-engine-upgrade-for-tamiya-642-p.asp Really nice work on this build though!! I would love to do a "Clipped wing" FAA Mk.II version in this scale! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Oh wow now they look awesome, might just have to invest in a set rich next time around 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Mmm they are nicely done. I also found while looking up this stuff a build/conversion someone did to this model to make a FAA Corsair Mk.II, including detailed drawings of the 2 types of "clipped wingtips" they had. Have filed all that away....guess I'm now on the hunt for a cheap 1/32nd Tamiya Corsair! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Coming together beautifully Paul the engine looks superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) The rear gearleg is complete. A little work-of-art on it’s own. So thats been primed as well as it’s accompanying wheel. The eduard main wheels are gorgeous. I’ve been working on cutting the ‘holes’ from the ‘facias’ still a little work to do on those theyre a touch rough. Also i don’t know why they cant just chop that huge block of resin off the bottom of the brake housings / inner wheel and make our lives easier. I can never get it straight and it takes ages, with that nasty resin dust being created to boot. Oil coolers have been made and primed too as well as a few other bits and pieces. This kit will take a while as there are so many subassemblies all requiring different paint callouts so it’s stop-and-go a lot of the time. Oil cooler and its surroundings have 3 colours alone.

Cookenbacher Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Thank you for posting this Paul. I have a 1/72 Tamiya Corsair project where I need to fold the right wing, and this pic gives a good idea of the internals I need to replicate - well give a reasonable impression of anyway. Also, it looks really cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 That looks like a very sturdy and well built structure Paul, and also really important to get right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Beautifully done so far paul, this is something that makes me want to do only 1or 2 models for the whole year, I hope the build doesn't stall due to you changing your mind on the cowl flaps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Thanks Glynn. I’m still at it, its just everything takes such a long time on it. Its huge and hugely complex. 🤪 My next update will show the main wing spar, inner main wings and fuselage all joined up together and the tail gear is all installed too. I’ve decided to change the scheme to a Jolly Rogers ‘big hog’ option in the box. As fitting my ‘360degree’ cowl is right for that aircraft. So I’m joing @Enzo Matrix in the jolly rogers camp. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dansk Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Here’s where I’m at with the big Corsair. Theres a lot of work gone into it but not much to show. This is a dry fit of the wings to fuselage. I’ll cement after this post. Theres a few bits of clean up to make but generally the kit is superb. Any non fit issues are my fault. The lego guy is to show the scale of this thing. Edited June 20, 2020 by Dansk 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
