BloorwestSiR Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 So no pic updates at the moment as my primary phone broke. They don't like being sat on too much My backup phone is a bit too tiny for taking decent pics as you can see comparing the two: So I've got a new one on the way to me. In the meantime, I've been trying to figure out the colour form the main gear bags and landing gear. NZ370 was originally in the tricolour scheme but had been repainted in GSB prior to the crash. So I've been wondering, would they have repainted the MLG and bays in GSB too? I haven't found any pics of the gear to tell me. So I've been leaning towards no and will be doing them in the original white. If someone has any photos otherwise, I'd love to see them.

BloorwestSiR Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Got some more work done on the Corsair. I painted the replacement centre wing section. It was then assembled as per the instructions. So a bit more work here. Hopefully I'll get more done on the weekend.

BloorwestSiR Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Very nice Carl - great pictures from a phone too! Torben Thanks Torben! I haven't used a standalone camera in a few years now. My P&S actually takes lower quality photos than my phone so that's what I use. TorbenD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Lots of family commitments over the last while but I finally got some bench time in. I finished assembling the centre wing section. I painted the lower wing prior to adding the gear bays. This will simplify the masking for me later. With the upper wing panels in place: And finally, attached to the fuselage: She's starting to look like a Corsair now.

LSP_Paul Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Carl , looking great man! Are you going to do any additional wiring in the wheel wells on yours? Keep it up! Paul BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 This is looking great, I'm in the middle of wiring a radial engine at the moment and must admit that like yours it certainly is a big improvement, I am a fan of the Yahu IP's I just wish that they would increase the range a bit more.

BloorwestSiR Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Carl , looking great man! Are you going to do any additional wiring in the wheel wells on yours? Keep it up! Paul Thanks Paul! For the wheel wells, I think I'll skip those this time. On my first one I didn't wire the engine so this is one step further so on the next one I'll try doing the wheel bays too. Got 5 more to perfect my technique on Shaka HI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dennis Thanks Dennis. I was surprised myself how much of a difference it made. Yahu keep adding more panels to their product line so I usually check Hannants on a regular basis to see what's coming. I do prefer them to the Eduard ones.

BloorwestSiR Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Time to show a bit of love to the Corsair. I built the outer wings and the flaps. Here they are dry fitted to the inner wing section. Next up is a bit of paint and then the landing gear.

BloorwestSiR Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Threw some paint on tonight. Next up will be some paint on the outer wings. Carl BradG and Shaka HI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Instead of the wings, I continued painting the fuselage starting with the white. Then it was the intermediate blue : Finally, the Sea Blue upper section: Carl LSP_Kevin, BradG and TorbenD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 That's lookin' real sharp Carl! It's always nice to see the plane come to life with colour being applied. Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
