simon417 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Thanks for all the kind words everyone. The Tamiya kit is a work of art (IMHO) and I'm doing my best to do it justice. It's great when a kit is so good fit and engineering wise that you devote your energy and efforts into the paint and weathering as opposed to filling, sanding and fighting to get it fit. Thanks again, I'll have more updates soon. MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon417 Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) UPDATE NUMBER 3 The Christmas break was not very productive for me. I think I got a couple of hours on the bench on Dec 30. The new year has been good so far build wise and we just had a week and a bit of -30 Celsius weather here in Calgary, so some nice progress has been made. Wing root / main spar coming together. Tail Wheel Oil Coolers in Main Landing Gear Wheel wells Wing Root Flaps Gear Door Covers Wing Root attached, engine on. Pappy Looking Happy Front Canopy on. Wings Almost Completed and ready to be installed. Once the wings are on... it's time to paint. I'll leave the wheels, gear, gear doors, all the little bits of glass on the wings off until main painting is done. I'll be following along the lines of the other builds going on. Black basing (a'la Doogs), silver, zinc chromate, blue (with chipping along the way). Then a combination of Maketars masks and Eagle Cals. Thanks for looking.

My neighbour is big Corsair fan (he's an RC plane guy), so I'm building him a Boyington markings version (as close I can make it). Missed this one - nice job on that figure!! simon417 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody V Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Excellent work on the figure. Refreshing to see eyes that don't look like black dots on a snow white eyeball. MikeMaben and simon417 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
