Jasta 14 addict Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Oh, Danny Boy............. sensational work.... I want one of these kits now.... watching you , Harv and the others....this is giving me the itch to get one.... and 'try' to emulate the skill set you have... excellent , looking forward to more.. as usual.. Cheers J You mending well?? Thank's allot for the nice comments Jeff I'm glad i and many others can inspire you to tackle also a Tamiya Corsair. I can certainly recommend the Tamiya Corsair Jeff, i know, it's pricey but the quality you get is beyond everything, believe me. Regarding my rib fractures, yes, i have to say, in my opinion, my recovery go's well. Tomorrow i have to get X-ray's to see if the broken rib's healing well, then Thursday i have an appointment with my doctor to see if i am fit to work again, i'm afraid it will not, because of the fact i stil having pain, and that's a sign it isn't cured yet. But the pain is less, and i'm out of the hospital bed, so that's good news. Very nice work, love the cockpit detail. Regards. Andy Thank's Andy Really nice work!! I like the attention to the differences in primers! Alan, thank's Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasta 14 addict Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hello Guy's, time to give you a massive update, and it's all about the engine. I was already impressed by the quality of this kit, so once i started the work on the mighty Pratt & Whitney engine my expectations where very high. It's almost a shame to put this piece of art into the cowling of the Corsair, because the engine itself is a superb kit on it's own. First basic start of the whole engine was glueing the cilinder part's together. For the ignition system i used the nice Barracuda engine upgrade set. I choosed to open the cooling gills, so to add some detail i used the Eduard pe upgrade set. For the transfer pipes i also used Eduard pe. Some pieces glued together. It start to look like an engine. .............................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasta 14 addict Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Thank's Harv, Exhaust pipes dry-fit to the fire-wall. The kit's engine is lacking the ignition cables, so it was necessary to make them myself. Eduard provide these in the pe set, but i chosed to make them from lead wire. After all was done, i gave the whole engine a dark wash. Front piece of the cowling, glued to the engine, together with the cooling gills. The inside of the cowling and cooling gills still needs to get a wash. .............................. Edited November 11, 2016 by DannyVM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's Shaka, indeed, the Salmon color differs from model to model, that's what's makes it such an interesting subject. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoobyDoo Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Amazing, amazing work. I'll need to research this "Salmon" color...everyone's take on it seem very different. Salmon wasn't in any exposed areas except for the tail wheel-well on one wreck (Michigan Corsair). As for the shade, I bet it varied each time it was mixed. The inside of the engine cowl was light gray on all Corsairs from the F4U-1 to the end of production. At least that is what was called for in the build TO's.
