Anthony in NZ Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Hi Andy, loving following along with this build, you are doing an awesome job. Shame about the Brassin set as I have one of those to put in my RNZAF Corsair.... This is going to look brilliant all finished up and a nice change from blue ones!

Jeff Definitely Jeff, also coupled with a few modifications to the base kit as well Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Anthony Hi Anthony, I've revisted the Brassin set today and its definitely no go if you want the engine covers on, everything is slightly over size and so the fit is poor. The kit parts are just so good and I'm going with that! Regards. Andy Kagemusha and Anthony in NZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 After realising the Brassin set wasn't going to work I've spent today painting and assembly the kit cowl. Some colour on this tomorrow and then we are definitely getting somewhere! Regards.

The Brassin cowl is oversize and doesn't fit the engine properly and they engine covers sit proud of the rings when fitted due to the internal detail on them. I decided I didn't need the pain of trying to get a good fit and opted for the kit parts.

Thunnus Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Beautiful work on the paint job, Andy! I'll have to remember adding clear gloss the next time I spray Tamiya flats. Martinnfb and monthebiff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to remember adding clear gloss the next time I spray Tamiya flats. It definitely works for me John and always happy with the way the Tamiya acrylics go down! My next step is to try your method of a chalk mix for the panel lines etc, its the first time trying this so hopefullyI will get a good result.

monthebiff Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 So how time flies, its been a year since I last worked on the Corsair and after seeing it every day sat there with so little work needed I decided to have one last go and get it finished. I've started with a Flory Models wash and some sponge chipping on the wing roots. Some more weathering needed and the last little bits and pieces finishing off but hopefully get this one finally finished over the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend! Regards. Andy John1, D.B.

LSP_Kevin Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 That looks great, Andy! And so different from what we're used to seeing with most Corsair builds. Kev monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
