Nice build! That's a lot of blue!

Nice job Rick! Quite a challenging kit, but you have made a masterpiece with it. Larry

Great build Tolga! Love the different late war paint job. Thanks for posting.

Nice to see this completed. Beautiful build! Thanks for posting. Have a Eduard Bf-109 E4 in work myself.

That is the same number I have in my stock as well, but I used Xtracolor enamel to paint my Corsair. So, cannot comment on how the MRP color looks on the model. Hopefully, someone who used MRP will comment.

Nice build. Like the way you painted/weathered the exhausts. Airframe is done well also.

Well done! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you all for the great comments! Much appreciated. Back to another WW2 plane in work. Larry

Great build Dennis. Thanks for sharing. Wish I had the room to display one of these. Larry

Brett, Great choice of kits, the Tamiya Corsair is one of the best kits I have ever built. Curious, what were you going to paint US interior green? The cockpit of the Birdcage Corsairs were Dark Dull Green. The tail wheel bay was salmon pink & the main gear bays were either lower color or salmon as well. And, the MRP paints are great to use. Good choice. Larry

Well done ! Thanks for posting.

Here is my 3rd Wingnut Wings Albatros build. Finished in the markings or Richard Flasher of Jasta V from the Trilogy boxing. I added lead foil belts & HGW buckles to the seat, added pipes & control cables to the cockpit. Scratch built the throttle on the control stick grip. Added to the engine, Taurus spark plugs & valve springs. Added spark plug wires, various pipes, drains, fuel lines & throttle linkage. Added on the lower fuselage, photo etch access hatches & a fuel tank drain. Added rigging & control cables from transparent thread colored with a silver sharpie. Turnbuckles are simulated with micro brass tubing. Added the flare gun & field installed port on the L/H fuselage Painted with Xtracolor enamels. Pre shaded the ribs on the wings. Weathered using washes & pastels. Thanks for looking & all comments welcome. Larry

Thanks for posting! Great photos. I have a KH P-39 I will someday get the nerve to pull out & build.

2nd on using the HGW stencils. I used a set on my Birdcage build & had great luck using them. I just followed the directions & left the carrier on overnight & they worked perfectly.

Brian, Wow! Congrats! What a nice ride. Have to agree, you don't see 442's around very often. Enjoy And, yes I'm jealous

Great build! I really like the FOD guards you made.

Beautiful! What a masterpiece. You should be proud. Thanks for posting.

Link to a slide show of the winners from the Nats. The Eagle is in there. http://svsm.org/gallery/chattanooga2019

Thanks for the congrats guys! I was pleased, the last Nats I entered was in '93. I was really surprised to win 1st in the 1/32nd, as there was some excellent builds there. My 1/32 US/British 1st place was my Special Hobby Tempest Mk.V. My 3rd place in the biplanes was my Albatros D.V, Jasta 17. I have both of these posted here in the RFI. Larry

The Best of Show was 'Eagle Deconstructed'. Appeared to be a scratch build of the Eagle Lunar Lander with sections removed to display the inner details. Quite an impressive build. Don't think I had any photos.

Here's a few photos I took; https://imgur.com/a/7FSLH3D Mainly what caught my eye. No rhyme or reason.

Just got home from the 2019 NATS. Got some serious shopping in. The Su-27 was on a whim, after I saw a completed one in the contest. Got a deal on it with Squadron's 20% off. Also won in both of the categories I entered, a 1st in 1/32 Prop Allied & a 3rd in 1/32 biplanes. Was great to meet a few of you there. Larry

Turning out great Rick! Really like the work you have done in the cockpit. I had fit issues with the cockpit to the wheel wells on mine as well.

Great build! Thanks for posting.

Well done! Love the paint. Just finished one myself, have to agree it's not an easy build, but as you have shown it can be built into a remarkable model with patience. Thanks for posting.
