Marmaduke Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Thanks for checking out my build everyone! I wish I had an update to show but I've hit the proverbial wall. This is the last build I ever wanted that to happen on. Loads of stress at home and work have really taken its toll on my modeling. Rest assured when I'm back up and building LSP will be the first to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmaduke Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hello all. Sorry for not having any updates. I've had a lot going on that didn't allow me any time for modeling. I hope to be back at the workbench soon and when I do I'll be sure to get some new updates posted. In the meantime I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! geedubelyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Hi Marmaduke, right back at you. Have a great holiday season. No need to apologise. We'll still be here when you get some more done. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmaduke Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hello all! As promised I finally have made a little progress on this big bird. Hope you guys like it. First up is the engine. All wired up and ready for final touch ups. Next up is the machine guns...I know the tubing I used is a little large but it's the smallest I could find and it's still better than nothing. Tamiya really did drop the ball on this detail. Lastly is a pic with the wings mocked up on the fuselage...everything is looking good and coming together nicely. If you look to the right in this pic you can see my old Tamiya 1/48 Corsair that I did shortly after getting back into the hobby. I'm using it as inspiration. Thanks for looking and happy modeling.

LSP_Kevin Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Excellent wiring! Kev Marmaduke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hansen Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Love the engine. I won't damn Tamiya for omitting the gun barrels, since many photos show Corsairs with fabric doped over the gunports. Instead, i will damn them for the photoetched seat belts from hell. However, i forgive them. -d- Marmaduke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmaduke Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Thanks Kev. Thanks Dave. I have to agree with you on the photo etched seatbelts...I would almost prefer their trimmed masking sticker with etched buckles version. HGW seatbelts have me sold though. They can be frustrating especially in 1/48 but they are well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Lovely build, the wiring really brings the engine to life. Carl Marmaduke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmaduke Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hey gang...back with another update. Got a fair amount of work done over the last few days. I removed the wheels from their pour blocks and cleaned them up. These Barracuda wheels are very nice. They're gonna look great painted up. Then I finished the landing gear and gear doors in preparation for paint. Next I assembled all the flaps which went together perfectly. After they were done I mounted them along with the outer wings to the wing root. Finally, after avoiding it, I worked on the exhaust. First I painted them Testors steel, the one in the small square bottle.Then I used Tamiya and Mig pigments to finish them up. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for looking. Mock up of the engine and exhaust ...and then mocked up with the rest of the plane. This thing is huge! andromeda673 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
