Wolf Buddee Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 No, no, no, Kev! Push on with the Corsair! The bent winged bird continues to call you from the edge of the shelf of doom. The P-39 is only whispering lies and is trying to trick you in to helping it escape from it's box! Cheers, Wolf Kahunaminor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Wolf Well, Wolf, there are currently bits of both kits all over my workbench, so what we get at the end may be something quite unusual indeed!

LSP_Kevin Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Looking great. Consider this a polite bump ~Chaz Thanks, Chaz. As soon as I can get the P-39 off my bench, this one will make a return to it. Kev monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hey Kev, I hope that now that you have tamed the wild P-39 that this beautiful build gets some of your magic. Hope you are having fun and wishing you a wonderful Australia Day tomorrow! Dan Hear hear Dan! LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 OK, so I'm midway through the 3rd week of my extended leave of absence from my day job, and the smoke is finally starting to clear. I've been busy looking after the family, catching up on a lot of stuff around the house, and doing a minor reorganisation of my workbench and office space. I think I'm finally at a point where I can do some more modelling! And this one certainly needs some attention, so as soon as I've reoriented myself with respect to where the hell I am with it, I'll get cracking. An actual modelling update soon, I promise!

LSP_Kevin Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hey, a cheap question to kick proceedings off again: did birdcage Corsairs have the carrier arrestor hook installed? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hey, good to see you back (back at the bench and back at the Corsair)! Good luck on the home front too. Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Peters Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hey, a cheap question to kick proceedings off again: did birdcage Corsairs have the carrier arrestor hook installed? Kev Assuming you're doing a land based subject, the hooks were removed to save weight. BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Assuming you're doing a land based subject, the hooks were removed to save weight. That's what I thought - but weren't all birdcage Corsairs land-based? I'm still planning to do Marines Dream, but I actually can't tell from the photos I have if there's a tail hook or not.

Allan Bingo! Thanks, Allan. Now I can proceed with the tail wheel assembly with some sense of clarity. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
