Brett M 722 Posted February 8 (edited) Well, its not the cleanest work.....but for the first time using lead wire, I suppose it's okay. I think that I'll call the engine "done" and move on so I can get the exhaust done and get the front of this bird attached! Comments, suggestions, all are welcome!

Wolf Buddee 4,050 Posted February 11 The engine looks awesome Brett! Lead wire is the easiest material to work with and you managed to get a great result using it. Your R-2800 will look very much at home in your Corsair. Cheers, Wolf 1 MARU5137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks everyone, I do appreciate the comments. Again, I think it's just a case of being our own worst critic. There are just things I wish I'd done differently, that's all. Maybe I'll have to build a -1A to test on? Working on the Vector Resin cowl flaps right now and the tiny pieces associated with it. Hopefully no moon, er, carpet launches with these! More updates to come, getting closer to getting the nose on, painted and moving on to decals, weathering, etc. Brett 2 Uncarina and chukw reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
