Nighthawk Calling 1 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Great looking Corsair, after reading through the hole build glad to see it coming together and closing in on the finishing line, congratulations on sticking with it. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Great to see an update, nice to see a Corsair in familiar markings, which is a curious thing to say. Uncarina and monthebiff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Thank you all for looking in, would be a shame not to finish this one especially so close to completion. Decided to fit the flaps today. And as ever on this build another slight cock-up! Need to get that intermediate blue tab repainted which is a pain but definitely getting there. Regards.

MikeC Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Good to see this one back under way, and coming close to the finish. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunnus Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Very nice and unique looking Corsair! I love the paint work so far! monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 Flaps all fitted today after sorting my oversight on the painting of outer flap. A little adjustment on the weathering needed too blend everything in but much better. Also spent today painting all of the smaller parts and began preparing them for fitting. Obviously the large drop tank isn't going on the Corsair though! Regards.

monthebiff Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 Another step closer with a flat coat applied and cockpit masking removed at last. Time to concentrate on some final chipping and weathering the Undercarriage before final assembly. Regards.

Jim Barry Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I live in Brunswick, Maine. The British Corsairs are still a legend here. They crashed a lot! One lost its wings on a Sunday morning and littered the town with parts, a machine gun bounced down the road (they say). One old timer told me her recollection of how loud they were. I ride my bike on the now decommissioned base and think about the history here. You are doing a great job! Uncarina and monthebiff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 So finally after 6 years I think I am calling this one finished after various trips to the SOD all self inflicted by myself not following the Tamiya instructions! Pretty happy with how things turned out in the end and especially enjoyed painting the experimental scheme applied to this airframe. Regards.

MikeC Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 That's very good, a great outcome. May I make one small suggestion though? Given the excellent weathering and the overall effect of a well-used aircraft, the seat harness looks rather new. Were it mine, I'd make it slightly grubby with some pastel chalk. Your call, of course. Again, a superb model, well done. monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
