I was making some good progress on the build until I managed to bugger up the Quinta instrument panel 🤪. Ordered a replacement Quinta set from SB on 3/23 but it hasn't showed up yet. Until it does I'll work on other areas. I plan to fold the wings so I guess that's what I'll work on for a bit.

Here's another pic Martin.

It's time for another Tamiya Corsair build. This will be my subject. I plan to use a Quinta cockpit set on this one. Stay tuned!

Thanks Chris. It came out okay I think. 🙂

Thank you Paul. It had it's moments! LOL 🙂

Thanks Dennis! 🙂

Thank you Hubert! Much appreciated. 🙂

Time to put these pics in their correct spot.

I had the P-400 pics here by mistake but now I've moved them to their correct spot.

Thanks Carl. I got lucky on the tail as it was a clean break and everything fit back nicely with just a couple of spots needing some filler. I've got the gear sorted out and reattached but had to use some scrap plastic to replace a couple of small missing pieces. I'll post a photo in a bit. I figure I'll have it finished later today. 🙂

That's just the kit tail Chris. Remember, I always add a 3/8" plastic "insert" to get the correct fuselage length. The kit fuselage is a little short. 🙂 (I've done that on ALL my SH P-39/P-400 builds.)

Sounds like a good plan Scott! 🙂

Tail section re-attached!

Fingers crossed I can make it look "okay". 😐

Last night when I was moving some model kits I accidentally knocked this P-400 off the shelf. A cuss factor for sure! I'll rebuild it at some point. ☹️

I ran out of Testor's OD so I'll have to put this one aside until my order shows up from Scale Hobbyest. Probably mid-week next week. I think I'll do some preliminary work on the Gey Matter Corsair set in the meantime.

Coming along well Scott. 🙂

Agreed Rob. That process works well for me too. 🙂

Painting is underway! 🙂

Resin "K" tail installed. Nearly ready to start painting. 🙂

Rest in peace Harv. You will be missed.

I'm going to start cleaning up the parts prior to test fitting and painting YZC. Fingers crossed all will go well. John

I decided to put this one back in the box for now. Various reasons but I intend to get back to it later on. 😐 Now it's back to the P-40K.🙂

The resin tail from Tim Biggers is the way to go for sure.

I went through numerous boxes of "parts" but had no luck. I built one of these Fortresses something like 35 or 40 years ago using a Monogram kit. I looked high and low but wasn't able to find it or the radome (I figure that after all this time it HAS to be here some place but I still wasn't able to find it.)🤪 It'll probably turn up after I have the model built. 🤪
