Jasta 14 addict Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Hi Guy's, i know, i hear you guy's coming.....oohhh no again a Corsair ............sorry for that , but the Corsair was already given the research before start, so i couldn't resist anymore, i had to make a start on this one . I will build this one together with my P-51D Mustang, which is at the moment on a hold due to canopy problems. I have both Tamiya Corsair kit's, but first one to have the honor is the Birdcage one. For this one i got plenty of aftermarket and some reference book's, also some paint is ordered, so research is done, and assembly can start. First the aftermarket, starting with the Barracuda goodies. Eduard goodies And HGW seatbelts The reference books, Color scheme choice will be F4U-1 Corsair Bu. n° 02576 'Marines Dream' I hope you guy's will enjoy Greetz Danny
mark31 Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Will try to follow this one. Have one in the stash. Nice books you have for the reference. Let the pics come Mark
Guest Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Oh goody! Another one. Defenetly will follow......Harv
BloorwestSiR Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 I agree with Harv. Can't wait to see another Corsair build. Carl
Jasta 14 addict Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Mark, Harv and Carl, thank's for jumping in on the front row boy's. Greetz Danny
LSP_Kevin Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Awesome! It sounds like I might have to switch my own build away from "Marines Dream", as there are now several either finished or underway, and they're all better than mine! And yours will be excellent too, Danny, I'm sure. Kev Jeff 1
cbk57 Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Considering there is always room for interpretation as to the appearance of Corsairs early in the war. There is always room in my book for another build. It is about what we bring to the build, not that it has been done before. Good luck and plan to keep an eye on this. Uncarina 1

And yours will be excellent too, Danny, I'm sure. Kev No need to Kev, why should you do that. 'Marines Dream' is a much discussed subject due to the limited photo source. At my knowledge, there are no photo's of the right side of the plane, so that's open for own interpretation. I read that this bird was heavilly war beaten, so wheatering should be extreem, and that's something that is unique for every single model made by totally different modellers. Considering there is always room for interpretation as to the appearance of Corsairs early in the war. There is always room in my book for another build. It is about what we bring to the build, not that it has been done before. Good luck and plan to keep an eye on this. Thank's cbk57 for hopping in. I'm with you on you're comment, it is very intresting to see different builds of the same model and subject, in that way you got a whole different perspective of a certain plane and markings. Greetz Danny
Guest Peterpools Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Danny Will be following with great interest as I've already built one tamiya Corsair and have a second in the stash calling my name Peter
Jasta 14 addict Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Thank's Peter for dropping in mate Ok today i made a start on the Corsair's cockpit, not much but like i said, it's a start. I started with the kit part's, later on i will ad scratch details like wires and tubes. First, i started on the details of the side consoles Rudder pedals And bulkhead, here there will be some extra need of details. A dry-fit of all three pieces together. Tomorrow i'm gonna try to paint the first pieces of the cockpit. Greetz Danny
Guest Peterpools Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Danny Nice start and Papa Tamiya's fit is legendary. Keep 'em coming Peter
Guest Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Danny, looking great! I'm almost finished with the pit on mine.....Harv
Whitey Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 You will enjoy this one Danny. Looking forward to watching as you progress.
Jasta 14 addict Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Peter : i know my friend, i already experienced their superb fit Harv, i'm looking over your shoulder mate, i'm very curious about the rest of your build. Peter, same go's to you my friend, you also have a real nice project goin on, so also this one i will be following closely Greetz Danny
Jeff Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 I think when and if I can get one of these beauties, I think as a Canadian I might default to a Royal Navy scheme, as I think most USN ones have been done, some of those British ground based Corsairs have an interesting paint scheme and markings, just something a little bit colorful, but press on Danny , I'm watching and savoring here.... I learn so much from you guys.. Jeff
