corsaircorp Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Oooh Boys !!! I promised not to start any new kits in 2021.... Thus, not commencing any new thread either.... But in July, a friend of mine on FB invited me in a GB.... I tried to resist, but resistance being the result of voltage and Intensity..... My inner fuse burned in a blink.... Soooo, here we are.... I throwed 2 Eduard kit in the GB.... But you both know me.... My goal there is to put the old Eduard to the new eduard standard.... Excepting the riveting.... Helped by these, it was in this second hand box fuselage lenght has to be corrected.... and the cockpit.... Hum... No comments !! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 For the one knowing me, there could be some disappointment... What ?? 2 Tempest only ?? For BM only, I throw this (these) ones on the bench.... Now it count 4.... Start looking CCish..... Okay Gents !! Here we are !! look like a good deal.... Cutting right behind the cockpit was the right place.... Adding stripes for having a solid fuselage... Just 2 pics to show how Eduard has improved in 15 or so years... The old Ed seat is basic are too large, I can use a resin seat but I'll try to rectify the original one.... The tubular structure will be reproduced too On we are, the esat is now right in shape !! I also found some pics on the web... No, no Gents, I don't start such a diorama, but it help a lot... As did this book.... Okay, I keep you in touch... Given my numerous problems IRL, I cannot guarantee a regular basis !! Stay safe Gents !! Sincerely. CC 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hello Gents, Sorry for my silence, but things are going from bad to worse... First, I want to warmly thank you all for the kind words, it's deeply appreciated... Now listen to that... Friday, we've got my mother transported by ambulance to the funeral parlor... Since the stroke six years ago, she's still in very bad health... The choice was hard for Memsahib and me... But, she asked for it, so after 58 years of common life, we took the risk.... And while we were waiting for the ambulance to bring her back to the retirement home, she crumbled on herself... We then call for a doc, they bring her to the hospital, and no hope of recovery.... Both my parents say that they will not stay apart for too long... The way it goes.... Still hanging with my cell phone at the ready, waiting for the last call.... Incredible... Loosing both in a week... I'll remember 2021 and quoting The Queen, "Annus horribilis" So please forgive me for not participating too much... Huh, Yesterday, at the burial, a brother and a sister of mine show up after 30 and 13 years whithout seeing our parents... And of course, they messed up a bit.... Coming up to puke on a coffin is more than I can cope with....Moreover when one do it in front of peoples.. No worries, they're both alive, I restrained myself a lot, but now, I pay for it.... See you soon Gents. Sincerely. CC 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Sitting here trying to think of the right words, but anything I come up with seems so inadequate for a situation such as this. Please accept my heart felt love & sorrow Alain, hopefully sunnier days await. Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
