Looking good!

Interesting.

Really coming along well Ernie.

Well done Gaz! Sure is purty. Foiling isn't my cup of tea but you've done a great job of it! Very nice work.

I too am a fan of the Quinta stuff. Looks great, easy to use!

On second thought I used the Grand Phoenix cockpit set and not Aires. Laps in memory! LOL

Thanks Peter. Agreed! And supply me with all the Corsair kits I want for free! LOL 🤣

Hi Troy, The -4 Corsair kit is not too bad but needs some "improvement" by replacing the cockpit with a after market one. I used Aires. The prop needs replacing and one from a Hasegawa P-47 fills that bill well (thanks for the tip on that Martin). The wing fold setup, in my opinion, is a joke and very toy like. I replaced those with some left over parts from a Tamiya kit. I recommend you check out my recent WIP on their -4 which should give you some idea as to what to expect, etc. I built their -1D way before Tamiya brought out theirs and it took a lot of work to get "right". I don't remember all the specifics but the cowl flaps, prop, wing fold setup were pretty bad. Here's a link for the -4 build which should give you some info, etc. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/17257-trumpeter-f4u-4-from-sod/ In short Troy, their Corsair kits aren't nearly as good as Tamiya's. I hope this is some help for you. (I might take one of your -4 kits off your hands if you want to unload it. Since it's the only -4 out there in 1/32 I MIGHT want to build another one at some point.)

More progress.

Just reinforcing my feelings about NOT getting another one. Too bad it's such a "Beast" to build. With or without the extras. I look forward to seeing the completed model.

Thanks Hubert. No problem.

LOL Hubert. 🙄

Some nice ones Scott!

Agreed. I've been intending to do that but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Mighty nice!!!!

I know! LOL Thanks.

Yep, another Corsair.

Well done! Good luck!

I just thought this would be a good time to do this. Maybe a bit late since the fire and all but better late than never. My only completed Fisher build is the Sea Fury which I modeled as the one I saw at a airshow in Alton, IL YEARS ago. It was owned at the time by Ormond Hayden Bailey who was killed in a P-51 crash a few years later. A enjoyable kit to build!

Those Sea Fury kits are really nice. Mine turned out great! I have a idea guys, why don't we start a thread with nothing but Fisher aircraft builds? Should be interesting. If it's okay I'll kick things off.

My "Holy Grail kit(s)" are the Tamiya 1/32 CORSAIRS. I've built 14 and have another on the bench right now. Add 2 Trumpeter Corsairs to that. LOL

When the parts fit the build goes well! LOL

Making some good progress. So enjoyable that everything fits!

My Panther's vertical tail is slightly warped to the left. Not REAL noticeable unless you look at it from the front. I've tried heating it up with hot water and a hair dryer but the resin is just too thick. I don't want to overdo it and screw it up so I've just left it alone. I'll get back to it one of these days.

Thanks Gaz. It sure is a strange one alright!
