I'm now answering my friend @Dunny Moons ago, I commit this one... and her next island cousin... Let's have a look at these ones... Far less sexy than a spitfire... Bent wing too but not as harmonious than a Corsair... Enter the modelling nightmare... Sprue shots... The fuselage is not correct and hard to repair, so I bought this !! Here are the differents paint scheme... And I will do this one... I surely suffer rfom a rare and accute form of masochism... Second AZ kit... and I add a resin fuselage to it !! Mad as Hell !! But why choosing such an easy road ??? Let's add this one... And I will receive some help from this... In fact, I was on to start a Boomerang... And I was almost sure that I had one in my stash...

corsaircorp Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Well let's try again !! And now it work... This interweb wizzardry always amaze me.... So, I said that the AZ kit is plain wrong, one can see it in looking at the pics.. Here above, it's clear... I will now show you a glitch with Oz mods fuselages... Wasp waist for the Vengeance ??? That's not normal... But the adjustment look good... The most eagle eyed amonst you surely see that the fuselages are crescent shaped... I told you so... This build will be really funny ...🥵🥵 It look far better that way... then nothing that a good vigorous gluing with clamps (a lot of) can fix up The above sentence is clearly sarcastic... And the beast is now in full pregnancy.... I must say that I don't really care about these bomb bay doors since, there is another set... The Oz mod kit is very complete... But mine has suffered from wrapping... The cockpit floot has been rectified too, I saw a bit, the introduce a tiny shim in the cut Because, I did'nt wanted to deteriorate the crisp details of the bomb bay... And this part is too thick to be reshaped in hot vapor !! (try to have cold vapor you stupid CC!!) Now the details of the cockpit are quite good !! I also worked on my Corsairs since I must finish a Corsair this year !! Take care Gents and happy modelling !! Sincerely. CC 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Shakespeare said ‘oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive’ ( nothing to do with Macbeth btw) I just wait till SWMBO is out put it in the stash and use the oh I’ve had that for ages ruse Although these days I just discuss future purchases ahead of time, strangely enough I don’t seem to buy half as many kits, but thankfully the stash is large enough to sustain me for many years. Now I need to negotiate the purchase of a Panther. Edited October 15, 2020 by Marklo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rat Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I've only been to Belgium once (a few days in Bruges) but managed to try a few of the beers. Loved them all! After wandering around on the cobblestones one fairly hot day, I ordered a beer at a little cafe - when it arrived, it was in a glass so large that I wondered if I'd be able to lift it! Still, with a powerful thirst built up and a nation's reputation to uphold, I managed to deal with that and ordered a second. Lovely stuff!

Paul Mason Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Brilliant post and most welcome. Hands across the ocean. On the war memorial in our Cheshire Town is one chap who took off but didn't come back from a Vengeance mission in Burma so look forward to seeing the finished kit!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
