Cap'n Wannabe Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Better sort it out quick, Kev - that Starfix kit's about to make it's way out of the closet again! (Here's a few images that may help..you can *just* see the wires if you squint and hold the computer screen at the right angle..) sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Thanks, Damo. So it seems there's a little white nubbin on the starboard side of the fuselage, just aft of the canopy, that the supplementary wire inserts into. Will have to make one.

Cap'n Wannabe Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Looks that way, although if you look at the NZ Corsair, the radio mast isn't present, and the white nubbin looks like it's on the fuselage spine rather than offset to one side. Having said that, it's possible the radios in it were changed.....or something.. Edited December 18, 2017 by Cap'n Wannabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Well, it's done! RFI photos will have to wait a day or two, because my photo studio is in disarray at the moment. I can't tell if I'm more pleased or relieved! Kev scvrobeson, Daniel460, Lee White and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyrosjzmichos Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Fantastic work Kev! There's nothing I can pick on with this model! I really love it! LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 It's great when a build like that is finished, relief, and pleasure at the outcome all in one. Cheers Dennis LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 OK, here are the interim RFI photos. I say interim because I'm not especially happy with them, as I still haven't mastered the macro abilities of my new camera, and most of the ones I took were blurry, or focussed on the wrong area. This is the best of the bunch. I'll need to gain some control of the camera though, as I want to send this one in to AIR Modeller, and will want better photos and than what I'm showing here. Anyway, on with the photos! So there you go, the best of a bad bunch! If I get desperate, I'll revert to the old camera just to get the job done for the magazine. Thanks to everyone who followed this build through all its highs and lows, and waited patiently during the many long gaps. Thanks especially to those of you who took the time to comment and offer advice, which is always enormously helpful. Also thanks to Carl for the prop blades! And lastly, thanks to the late Tim Valdez for kicking this whole thing off, for better or worse, and I'm sad that he didn't live to see the project come to fruition. The finished model is dedicated to his memory. Kev Fooesboy, Allan Peters, Shaka HI and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Buddee Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I wish I had the clapping emoticons available on my I-pad Kev. Well done with your perseverance paying off handsomely! Now go build something Tamiya, LOL! Cheers, Wolf LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahunaminor Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Yeah, that sucks.....not! A great tribute mate, well done. Regards, LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 Kev, Great job! Love the look of it! Gaz Thanks, Gaz. I like it too, now that the torment is over! Still not happy with the photos, however, and am enlisting some help in getting to grips with my gear. Hopefully I'll be able to post the results of that tutelage in the couple of weeks.

Now go build something Tamiya, LOL! Cheers, Wolf Thanks, Wolf! Tamiya Corsair, dare I suggest? Actually, I've recently started working on the Aeropoxy resin Yak-3 kit, which is going further in the other direction! But my main focus on the bench will be the long-lost Fw 190S conversion, so look out for a restart on that shortly.

scvrobeson Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 What an odyssey! So good to see it finally done Kevin. I'm sure you're relieved to finally have this project done, and it looks great. Would be hard pressed to tell the difference between this and the Tamiya kit if you put both on a table together Matt LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
