Cowlings attached! Not bad!

I just wish the rivet detail wasn't so heavy. Other than that it looks pretty good. We will see when I get around to building it.

After shooting some gray primer I found a few areas that need a bit more attention. I did test fit the engines and cowlings and the fit seems okay. I have to credit that to Vector's good work. I should have the engines and cowlings installed soon.

I know what you mean Peter. That's my favorite part of a build.

About ready to attach the engines and nacelles. First I'll shoot a primer and see if any more work is needed.

Coming along nicely Peter.

LOL! I doubt that!

I think the scheme looks good too Peter. Ve vill see! LOL

Seems to be a very straight forward kit with things fitting well (so far). Looks like it won't take a long time to get it built and painted. I look forward to the painting on this one in the 3-tone scheme.

Thanks Carl. I like the looks of the new canopy and will consider getting a set when I decide to start on the kit.

I just received the kit and, after looking it over, it looks pretty good (I got the RAF variant). The only "fly in the ointment" so far as I can see is the heavy rivet detail throughout. I'll put it in my stash for a future build.

Thank you Martin! 😀

They should vastly improve the looks of the model.

Thanks Rob.

Seems to be a pretty nice kit which should go together with no headaches. Fingers crossed.

Some surgery is necessary to use the Vector cowlings but they will be a nice improvement.

LOL Phil! I just got a bit "uninspired" and decided the best thing to do was set it aside for a bit and work on something else. I'm well along on it but I decided to give it a short rest. I'll get back to it pretty soon (after I finish the Revell PV-1) which had been sitting on my shelf staring at me for a good while. It should go well with the 1/48 A-26 I finished recently.

I like it too Harv but I like the PV-2 Harpoon more. Too bad we don't have a kit in 1/48.

LOL Peter! Should make a nice looking model.

This will be my next project after setting the Corsair aside for a while. As you can see I had started the build a while back so now I'll pick it up where I left off. Should be a nice build using some Vector after market cowlings, etc.

As sometimes happens I've gotten tired of this build. When that happens to ME it's a formula for aggravation and screwups. So, I've put it aside for now and will look around for something else to work on (certainly don't have a shortage of kits to choose from). I'll get back to it LATER. 😐

Excellent!!!

Thank you Peter.

Yes Gaz, their rivet holes are a bit over done at times. 😐

LOL Phil. Thank you. 😀
