Harold Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 OK gents, I will cast a few, but be forewarned, it needs a LOT of TLC and patience is required. Follow Karl's thread and you can be like Karl... blackbetty and Vandy 1 VX 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Karl did nearly all the work, I only did the radome and made the molds. my work is again based on the work of Olivier Pisolle. again, it needs a lot of TLC and is just a starting point. would anyone be interested in decals? i think about doing a sheet with the Bordellon plane and two Marine night fighters, one black with red markings. and you would need the vac canopy from me (a copy from Oliviers canopy) otis252, Harold and Troy Molitor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I'm really starting to like this beast. Well done Karl. If you need numbers for making decals, sign me up. I might be contacting Harold to bring this conversion up out and in the open. I also like your choice in starting with the Trumpeter kit. A lot of surgery going on here and I find that some of the most enjoyable work with the most reward afterwords. Wow. It's really looking great. Thanks for sharing this awesome journey with us.

blackbetty Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) thank you Troy! the difficulties of the conversions is multiplied by the problems of the kit. and i have done a bad job with the inner to outer wingjoint. first squirt of GSB, some imperfections to correrct, but it looks like a plane now. nose ist just stuck on. broke off the tip of the fin for the umteenth time 50 by karl holubar, auf Flickr 51 by karl holubar, auf Flickr 52 by karl holubar, auf Flickr Edited June 22, 2018 by blackbetty chukw, Harold, otis252 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaninaustria Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Damn Karl! That looks like a beauty!! Can't wait to see her done! Cheers Alan Harold and blackbetty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis252 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Really great work Karl. I just received the conversion set from Harold, i thought it was really nicely done. Your work on the masters is excellent and of course Harold's casting is up to his normal well done standards. I'm going to use your build thread as a step by step tutorial on my build. I plan to do mine as a USMC Flat Black -5N with red markings. I would surely be intrested in buying a set of those markings...do it Blackbetty. Where did you get the drawings to rescribe the "all metal" wings? Many thanks. Chuck Harold and blackbetty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Karl, Sounds like youre my kind of modeler. I've sprayed a Rata and a Peashooter this weekend and broke off the resin gunsite on the Rata at least three times by now. The peashooter is another work in progress dating back at least 7-8 years. Endless fun. I'm missing a few bits I forgot to find back in California when I visit. Hello! A windscreen!?!? Grrr. The late Corsair looks awesome. From what it started out as to this point, its truly awesome to see come alive. Thanks for the progress reports.
