marcolagu Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Hi Fellas,this is my first plane in 30 years (i'm 48, and this is my 1/32 first at all!!)because usually i build modern tanks,but i've decided to take a break from the tanks for some times and build the planes that for one reason or another i liked. I've started with the 1/48 P61B Black widow,but after i discovered that this plane is on the Wing Scale future ( BTW i will buy as well the B 25 and the B 17...)i switched to another subject,and the choice went to the beautiful Ira Kepford Corsair. I'm working a bit by random,because i'm a nightshift manager and luckyly i can do some modelling at work,but the dimension of the fuselage and wings are to big for the space i can use at work,so i can say that i'm building all the small components at work (next will be the landing gears and the tail wheel)then i will build the rest of the plane at home. Here some pics of what i've done until now. Sorry for the quality but i have only an "old"digital camera. The kit is the"infamous"Trumpeter(better than the old revell)and to realize the model i wish i've buyed tons of aftermarket stuff: Wheels bay from Aires Wheels from JRutman Landing gear from G Factor Cockpit from True Details Engine from Quickboost propeller from JRutman Cowling flaps from Mastercasters Decals from Tecmod and finally i'm waiting for the engine cowl by CrhisS Started the works sanding to shape the wheel bays on the wings i'm going to change the intakes and grilles i've also changed and modified (to be finished)the engine exausts another view of the exausts on the rudder i've add some details and repositioned the trim same thing with the tail flaps and trim another view of the left one all three of them the cockpit left side the cockpit right side Edited March 4, 2011 by marcolagu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
