Gisbod Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 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.

crobinsonh Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Really nice finish, loving what you are doing - I have two of these in the stash. One day KD451 will be brought to life in my house :-) Gisbod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunnus Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 This is looking so awesome Guy! Very unique in that green finish, which is great given how popular this kit is. Gisbod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gisbod Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 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...

Lothar Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I don't believe my eyes, probably the best Corsair WIP I've ever seen Lothar Gazzas and Gisbod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vincent Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 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 ! V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gisbod Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Thank you again! 9 hours ago, Lothar said: I don't believe my eyes, probably the best Corsair WIP I've ever seen Lothar 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. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
