Thanks Martin. It's a new "adventure" for sure and one I'm enjoying.

Thanks Hubert. Yep, I knew that but decided to let that sleeping dog lie! LOL I can live with it. 🙂

Wings and fuselage joined together. Next is filling in those gaps on the roots and fuselage side.

Did a little more work on this area. Mo betta I think.

Thanks but there's more work to be done........🙄

I hope to get it a little better than that Kevin. Right now I know it still has some "issues" but I plan to address those shortly.

Yes there are a couple of spots that need additional attention. I'm just glad to have been able to get it this far!

I used a piece of a drop tank to make the knuckle cover. Far from perfect but better than nothing.

Gluing in some "base" strip plastic that I will spread putty over and sand to shape. I'll see about the "knuckle" piece after that is done.

Thanks Martin. I think I have some of that but will need to check. Thanks again.

So far it's working out fairly well. If I can find something to use for the right wing LG knuckle cover I think it will do alright. Fingers crossed!

I hope you have a happy birthday Peter.

Making some nice progress but still a long way to go.

Rear fuselage "fix" nearly done. It just needs a little more smoothing out in spots. I think the next move is to put the cockpit back in and then attach the fuselage to the wing/nose assembly. I looked on ebay to see if I could find someone selling the sprues that have the needed parts on them. No luck.

That's a good idea. I hadn't thought of that and will check it out. Thanks!

LOL Thank you Hubert. I'll figure something out.

I've never tried to do this before so we'll see how it goes. I think it's likely I won't be able to come up with some of the needed parts but I'll carry it as far as I can. The main part I haven't been able to dig up so far is the gear/wing knuckle piece (part #A28) for the right wing. Maybe someone here can send me one? 🙄

LOL I do have a lot of Corsair leftovers but nothing usable for that.

We'll see how it goes. 🙄

Just for grins, I decided to see if I could come up with enough leftover parts from my Hasegawa P-40 builds to try to assemble a near complete model. I've been able to get together most of what's needed but am still missing a few pieces but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I was surprised that I had so many parts left over that I could use! I'll have to construct a rear fuselage "plug" to get the tail piece to attach. Oh what fun!!! LOL

Complete. $125.00 plus shipping from N. Louisiana. PayPal okay. PM me if interested.

Thank you Carl. I appreciate the nice comment. 🙂

Thanks Paul! I'm happy you like it. Sure is a awkward model to handle while working on it. I must have bumped the wing tips on something half a dozen times! LOL 🙂

Thank you Kevin. I'm pleased that you like it. 🙂

Thanks Scott! Very much appreciated the nice comment. I'm glad you like the results of my efforts. 🙂
