Wow, this a real beauty!

Looking good. You build faster than I can type a reply

Wegener, thanks for your guess. I will go along with this and see what color i will use. If there are no pictures I can't go wrong

A corsair is always nice but this is a real beauty.

Progress may be slow but it is certainly worth waiting for. Great job.

That looks really great. Good job!

What a fantastic build! I like it a lot so will follow closely

@Torben, Mark and Mike, thank you. First plastic is cut, first glue and PE is applied so it's time for the first update. I started with the cockpit. There is much PE to be applied so there are three kinds of instructions open on the bench. One thing that had to be done was the seat for the gunner. This is the one out of the box. And this is what it looks when it's done. Quite an improvement I think. The sidepanels in the pic below aren't glued yet. First I want to paint everything before assembling the cockpitframe. On the lefthandside you can see some cilinders. I can't find out what these are or what color these cilinders are so if you have an idea.... The upperplate Fianlly some pics whit the upperplate loosly on the frame. Thanks for watching and until the next update

I surely do like it. Great job.

Wow, that is an impressive bird. Nice paintjob. I hope you keep at it cause it's worth it.

Great build and real nice pictures!

Wow, that is one beautifull looking plane. Nice weathering and markings. The engine looks like a gem.

Real nice diorama. Well done. I like the clear water and the seaweed very much.

Terrific build. A real joy to follow.

Nice build. Your wheels look great but the injector pins are on nasty places. Be carefull with sanding.

Beautiful kit en some great craftmanship. Continue the good work.

Nice build and great paintjob. The yellow on the tail worked out nice.

@Thomas, thanks,I'll mark it in the instructions en will look into it. @Stefan, thank you @Dennis, thank you. The rigging should be real easy. Trumpeter supplied metal profiles wich you should use, so no rigging with wires. So, have fun building it

Great build! I don't know what I like most but the ball turret looks really terrific. This topic is a joy to follow. Keep up the good wordk.

Great build and like others said before, nice approuch on the white symbols. Looks great.

@Ray, thank you and thanks for thinking along. @Tim, thank you @Chek, thank you for the very usefull answer. I didn't know for sure if the wires are rods but now I do. I don't know what museum you have seen but I will google it. Maybe a nice idea for a future project when I want to make a spifire. @Jennings Heilig, thank you. Amsterdam is really a great city @Alain, thank you @Rick, thank you

Wow, great build! I'm following with interest.

Thank you gentlemen, I feel at home already . I have a question about the rigging and i hope you can help me. Searching at google doesn't provide a satisfying answer. The rigging contains flying wires and bracing wires. When I look at pictures it seems that the flying wires are metal bars instead of wires. The bracing wires are difficult to see but also seems metal bars. Does anyone know if I'm right or are the wires really wires? Thanks in advance. Ferry

Goodevening all, After lurking for a long time ,I thought it was time to start a topic. My English is not (yet) very good but I hope I can make clear what I mean. So please be patient My choice for my first WIP is the Trumpeter Swordfish in 1:32 and I'm using this kit. I also purcased a Biged set from eduard. When I opened the box I saw some nice sprue's but also a sprue with clear fuselage parts. However, I do not intend to use the clear parts because this is hard brittle plastic as you all know. Below is the color scheme that i want to use. Thanks for watching and until the first update Ferry
