Tamiya Factory Corsair *finished*

Thanks guys :)

 

It’s pretty much fallen together now, I’ve installed the engine and bay and the other appendages and it looks like a Corsair now. I can’t tell you enough what an amazing kit this is - go and buy one today! 

 

Still to do - the wing and attachment, and the ground equipment; no idea how I’m going to tackle that.

Thanks! It’s encouraging to get kind comments ^_^

 

I’ve been giving the support equipment some more thought. The factory photos show a kind of frame that the aircraft sits in and a made to measure step ladder & platform that sits over the wing. I still haven’t sussed out the frame, but I’ve had a bash at the ladder. I’ve used brass rod bent to shape and super glued the steps. I’d rather it be a stronger bond, but I don’t have a soldering iron, it seems ok at the moment but it will be delicate to handle, the frame is simply plastic card and a thin wood veneer for the platform...

I had a plan to make my corsair on a factory line as well. But mine will be more yellow !

 

Great work so far, the subtle weathering is really really nice !

I don't believe my eyes, probably the best Corsair WIP I've ever seen :bow:

Steady on Lothar! 

 

I thought the extras would take me forever, but I managed to knock everything up today on a final push. Although, it’s a very simplified version of the real thing.

 

Next post will be in the Finished Models section :)

 

Goodness knows where I go from here in terms of the next project,  Mossie?! I’m praying for a new 1/32 Tamiya release soon, I’ve heard rumours of a 109... 

 

Many thanks for following along.
