BloorwestSiR Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The Corsair looks good Kev. I can't help on the camera side as I probably know less than you do about them. I really am a point and shoot kind of guy. Hopefully the prop blades arrive soon. There's no tracking number as adding one would've tripled the postage. They're in a small bubble wrap envelope.

LSP_Kevin Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Thanks, Carl - I really do appreciate you sending them to me! I reckon they'll probably arrive some time this week. Then all I'm left with is: Prop - assemble, paint, decal, weather, and install; Pitot tube - paint and flat coat; Antenna wire; Done!

LSP_Kevin Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 And no sooner had I finished typing the post above, than the postie popped the package with the blades in the letter box! Thanks again, Carl. Will look to finish this beast off this week. Kev BloorwestSiR, LSP_Paul and Kahunaminor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunnus Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The Corsair looks beautiful... can't wait to see it with the prop. Initial photos with the new DSLR came out very nice too. LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Looking great Kev, I can finally stop looking between my fingers! LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Despite all the problems, the Corsair is looking great! Lens do look a lot better in clear. Technical point: as the lights in WWII really tended towards yellow, the bulb on the right wingtip were coated in blue, not green. When they were illuminated, then they would show green. I agree about the camera: F/22 or lower, tripod and remote shutter release. With my Canon, I often get into 1/4 second shutter speed territory, use a USB connection to my computer and fire the shutter with a mouse click.

LSP_Kevin Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Thanks for you input, Ray. I'm hoping to learn a bit more about the new camera when this build is finally done and ready for its RFI shots. Interestingly, it has built-in wi-fi (I guess they all do these days), and I can actually control the camera from my phone! I do have a tripod, but it's rubbish (wobbly head), and I stopped using it ages ago. Will have to organise a better one. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Kev, nearly there and looking very nice indeed, the weathering is superb, not to much but still nice and worn! Regards. Andy LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Amazing, apart from the horrors you had to endure with this project, your paintfinish is easily your best to date. Fantastic! Cheers Cees LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I think this finish is one of your best Kev! Damn, fine looking model! Cheers Alan LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Thanks again, fellas. It's definitely my most weathered finish, and one that I somehow failed to completely screw up, so I'm happy about that. Kev Kahunaminor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 So, I'm on the cusp of declaring this one finished. Just one more thing to do: the antenna wire. Trouble is, I can't seem to find anything definitive about where it ran to and from exactly. Drawings show one running from the rudder post to the forward mast on the fuselage, but also another one intersecting it and terminating somewhere on the fuselage. I don't need to go for 100% accuracy, just something representing a fair idea of reality. Anyone have any idea? Kev LSP_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 I know it's not clever to copy other model builds, but is this one close? (Credit to the builder: I found it online.) Kev sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
