Righ, after a marathon sanding session eventually got the resin cockpit fitted. The airframe then came together without major issues alhough every major seam seemed to need filler and yet more sanding . Not sure why. The fit isnt horrendous just every seam seemed stubborn.  Nothing visible to the eye but I think fuselage may have a slight warp in it, probably from me being a bit persuasive to get the resin in!  Eventually got a coat of primer on though.

Great looking paint work!

Finished avionics bay and wheelbays. Painted and weatered and installed remarkably easily into fuselage halves. Cockpit painted up andI  very impressed with the blackbox resin. Hopefully will get the main fuslage buttoned up tonight. ( If it all fits???)

Bit of bench at last this week. Painted up and weathered pylons and stores. Thought I'd start with the external stores first. My logic here is to avoid my inevitable tendency to rush this later towards the end of the build. Will be adding RBF tags later.

Benchtime has been scarce the last 2 weeks. (Why does work get in the way of moelling time). Anyway, Ive been working on the extrenal stores and pylons which just need weathering . My logic behind this backward approach was because I tend to rush those assemblies in that hurry to finish project syndrome I'm prone to. I did however get a couple of hours to clean up and start test fitting the resin cockpit. First time working with resin and I have 2 comments to make. 1st the detail is exquisite and 2nd the resin sanding dust get everywhare    So far so good. Once I'd sanded off a fair ampont of the base of the cockpit, where it was fouling the topf the intake ducting its basically a drop fit. Now some eyeball bleeding detail painting ahead of me to try and do the moulding justice.

Hello all. Was lucky enough to pick up Trumpeters 1/32 Corsair II with big ed photoetch set and a black box resin cockpit. So I thought I'd join in. Will do my  best to get it finished before end December  â€‹. First gb for mr and first time working with a resin pit. I must say the detail on the cockpit looks superb.
Now if someone could please help me on how to include images with the post? I'll post a pic of the kit as soon as I've worked that out. Please excuse the numpty IT question
