I'm excited to follow your progress CC! Thanks zac !! Well, as I will not overdetail that beast, I'll make my best to have a quick but clean build.... Italeri did'nt worked hard on this one... The leading and trailing edges are not clean at all.... So sharpening it now.... All the pics of the raptor shows very neat surfaces... That will be a challenge !! Sincerely..

corsaircorp Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Hello Dears !! Huh, the mustang is drying out before weathering.... Soo, I worked on this one, the Tempest and the Demons.... Usual ballast, even if it did'nt look necessary.... I figured out that the moulding is really soft on this kit... And given the fine pics of @Lightningboy2000 the thrust vector system is pretty sharp.... Let's engrave it a bit... And clean up the flashes.... Happy and Merry Christmas to you all !! Thank you for the support and kindness !!! I wish you a LOOOOAAAAD of plastic bits under the tree or Tannenbaum or whatever !! Sincerely.

I'm excited to Hello @corsaircorp, hope you don’t mind me adding to this post. But, the above quote is too exciting an opportunity to miss. Well not quite a new one, but one I did some years ago, it’s the Idolmaster boxing of the Hasegawa kit. This kit was good for everyone, good for the model club stand in that it attracted the family side of modellers to our table, inspiration for children - up coming modellers. An good for myself it did very well on the competition tables, the lighter side of modelling. If you’ve not done any web searches, have a look at the ‘chrome’ painted one that’s testing some new technology…… and the F-35 and the spectacularly delicious F-117 …… Thanks for looking. 🥳 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So grateful for my lot . Let's hope 2023 is a good year for all. Merry Christmas CC to you and yours at CC Towers. Chris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 Hello Friends..... I told that I'll not buy parts to improve the Raptor... BUT !! Using what's at hand..... I have a resin interior for my FA-18F and yesterday.... The Hasegawa part will be used.... Daaaang, right size !! More to come soon.... Stay safe Gents !!

corsaircorp Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 Hello Gents !! I still have to finish this one for June.... Or having my son missing his school's year Well, I'm going to finish the Raptor, it will be less expensive... The resin seat is clearly adding some punch... Now checking the height... even with the open canopy, I will not seeing the seat jamming up there... It was an internal modelling evening.... Fireboxes and Raptor.... Funny enough !! Stay safe Gents !! Sincerely. CC 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted April 1, 2023 Author Share Posted April 1, 2023 Hello Gents, Still impressed by the sheer size of this kit.... Aaaaand there will be more putty and sanding..... but it look right to me.... That will surely not be the most accurate rendition ever but I will make my best to make it look like a F-22... The moulcing is rather soft, and looking at the @Lightningboy2000 these parts are really sharp Since the vectorial thrust is mad of moving parts.... it look far better that way methink.... Any advices ?? Have a great modelling week end !! Sincerely. CC 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Good to see some progress CC hoping you can get finished by June. Certainly does look an impressive size, the kit that is 😄😉 Great work Chris 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm scratching the huge cord plugged in the computers behind the seat.... And started to paint the thrust vector paddles.... On my way to finish it right in time.... And keep a promise.... Meanwhile, the Tempest will be the April RFI.... I keep my pace, which is almost incredible.... Then teaching the 2 kids how to drive will eat some modelling time but that's the way.... So far, the clutch of my van didn't suffer too much..... Have a great modelling week... For me, it's evening work week.... Starting today.... Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 Hello Gents, I thinned the italeri part and the Hasegawa IP to the maximum.... Aaaaaand then.... Here we are with an IP far better than the decal one..... And once again, I bought nothing for the kit.... Thinning of the parts has been done for the coaming.... Then I saw that Italeri didn't put any throttles..... That's the next scratchbuilt job for CC.... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
