KUROK Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 You guys have seen me out here lurking for years....and I have not done any LSP projects. Well, I finished my 1/72 P-40N and before that a 1/72 Space: 1999 Eagle. So it's time to do a LSP project from my stash. 1/32 Scale. I want to have fun and not get "bogged down" with AMS issues like corrections, etc. What do you recommend for my next project??? Here is what I have now in my stash: In no particular order: Tamiya Corsair ZM P-51D Fisher Sea Fury Kittyhawk T-6 Texan Hasegawa P-40 (have four in my stash) monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are Cool and oh SO colorful!! where does your heart lie? I do want to do a natural metal one..probably the box lid scheme. I'm nervous about any fit issues. Perhaps I should try to swallow my AMS and build it out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is your first LSP and you have no scratchbulding experence whatsoever, then that would be my recommendation. Start with one that looks good straight out of the box - whatever scheme takes your fancy) and slowly build up your sklls. I myself am at the 'improve my painting with weathering' stage...

Greif8 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 The Tamiya Corsair is hard to beat when it comes to accuracy and buildability, is that even a word. Can be built oob into an awesome finished model. Ernest Rick Griewski, KUROK, MikeC and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 There are quite a lot of issues with the T-6 OOB; if you want it to look accurate you’ll have to do several corrections so not one I’d recommend to meet your parameters I’m afraid. Can’t speak for any of the others except the obvious statement about the Fisher Sea Fury being resin which (for some reason) frightens many modellers.

Mark_C Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I agree with Max; the Texan has issues, including the landing gear being in the wrong place. Not unfixable, but why should you have to wrestle with that in your earlier projects? Also, natural metal finishes are very challenging to do well. I'd start with the Tamiya kit, or one of the P-40s, save the others for later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 If you pick the Tamiya Corsair be very mindful of parts used and part placement when building the engine and wing fold areas. Follow the instruction very closely as these two areas can really be messed up. If the Hase P-40 be sure to glue the tail onto each fuse half before joining the fuse halves together. The instructions do not follow this method and makes for a poor fit. There might also be a frame molded on the wind screen that should not be there.

Hartmann352 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 As much as I love the Corsair, my vote is for a P-40! (Ya got 4 of them.) C’mon man. Merely my 2 cents. Cheers, Dave Dpgsbody55 and KUROK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 You have 4 Hase P40s. Do a P40 - good kit, OOB build, get one under your belt. Alain Gadbois, KUROK and Derek B 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 P-40, no doubt about it. Good kit, not too expensive and gobs of schemes. What more could you want. KUROK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 And it's a much quicker build to complete than the Corsair would be. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
