almac Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Afternoon all. Thought I’d pitch in with this kit. Some sprue shots. I’ve built a Fujimi Corsair before so I know what to expect so hopefully I’ll not have too many issues. I haven’t decided on a scheme but I’ve got a few decal sheets to chose from later.

almac Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Evening all. Thought I’d post this to show I’ve managed some progress albeit minimal. I’ve painted the cockpit bits dark gull grey. I’m also building an F11-f for the Big in Japan GB and as they are grey/ white navy birds I plan to paint them at the same time.

heloman1 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Looking good. I had two Fujimi kits to choose from but plumbed for the Italeri kit, don't ask me why! Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almac Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Morning all, some progress with this last night. Fuselage halves joined but with a significant step underneath. The top is ok but the bottom will need some work. Should get more done today. Cheers,Allan 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Bob Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Pretty sure I've got one or two of these kits in the stash...somewhere. I always recall the intake parts were an awful fit, hope yours goes together without any problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almac Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 So far the fit is not good and I remember the fit of the intake on the other one I built was poor. I foresee filling and sanding in my future. A new, accurate kit of the Corsair is long overdue. It’s such an iconic aircraft with a multitude of colour schemes that deserves a good kit.
