  1. Thanks Ernie! LOL It IS big alright and I really don't know WHERE I'll put it when finished. Seems I have a strong affinity for Corsairs, especially the birdcage. I just bought another one to go with the others in my stash.
  2. Thank you Carl. It's coming along okay (fingers crossed).
  3. This is where I am on the build today. Coming right along.
  4. I'd consider jumping in if I wasn't in the middle of my Mosquito build. Still got a long way to go.
  5. When I saw this book advertised I knew I had to have it even though I don't build many tanks/armor models. They are still a very interesting subject. This book is really good and VERY interesting. Nearly 400 pages of photos and info.
  6. Outstanding builds Carl! And folks say I build fast! LOL
  7. Thanks! A Kiwi F4U isn't out of the question. Somewhere down the road though.
  8. Ferocious Frankie is Revell, the one with no unit markings is Revell wings and Tamiya fuselage. Thanks for the kind comments Phil.
  9. Thank you Phil. I tried to make it "used but not abused" LOL.
  10. Thanks. I agree, it seems to look a bit more detailed.
  11. About finished with the starboard engine. The only wiring I added was to the spark plugs. The rest is OOB. I won't do much on the port engine as it will be closed up.
  12. That is some really nice work. I look forward to seeing the completed model.

    Beautiful! I'm sure your friend will love it.
  14. Thanks Carl I appreciate that. Just eyeballing 'em they look a bit different from the racks used on the Mossie although they are "fairly" close. I'll have to test fit a pair on my built up Hurricane and see how well it matches the wing contour. Stay tuned! (I also sent a inquiry to Shapeways to see if they might have something.)
  15. Thanks Carl! The Spitfire racks are much smaller so they won't work. It's possible the ones in the Mosquito kit might work. I'll take a close look at the ones in my kit although I had planned to use them on my build. If push comes to shove they might just be the only option. Ve vill see!
  16. Thanks Rog. I think you are right. I'll have to do some more searching to see what's available.
  17. I'm looking for one of these in 1/32 but haven't been able to find one with the bomb racks. Do any of you know of one OR a set of after market wing racks?
  18. I think it will look really good with black undersides.
