That was a great movie Harv.

I haven't found anything to tell me the FAA Corsairs were modified to British specs (except for the wing tips). As far as I know the Brits added the air scoops and vent on the fuselage but anything else like seat belts I just do not know for sure. I too would like to be better informed as to the mods so I can build a accurate a/c.

Looking really good! Too bad it's one of the ugliest tanks ever! LOL

Still no word from Dana.

Interesting. I'm leaning toward the US seat belts but who knows, it might be the Sutton setup. I sent Dana Bell a message about this so hopefully he will have a answer.

Thanks Bill. I agree.

LOL Please do!

I'll do that just for grins a little later on. As far as I am aware yes, the interior colors were the same.

As is my usual procedure when starting a new build, I spray paint most of the interior parts so they will be ready for assembly. Makes the build go smoother (at least for me it does).

Can't say as the sheet hasn't arrived yet.

Yes

Agreed Carl. I'm pretty sure it's a -1a.

Number 135 Jeff.

Okay guys. I've checked the Tamiya -1a kit and see it really wouldn't be too difficult to clip the wing tips, etc. SO......it's time to build a FAA Corsair. I've ordered the Eaglecal decal sheet and intend to do the overall GSB a/c from HMS Formidable. Stay tuned! LOL

Thanks Gaz. I'm glad you like it!

Thank you Dennis. Now if I can just find the kit I might be able to cannibalize the wing tips, etc.

Thanks Bill. I'd like to see a picture or two if it's no trouble. No hurry though.

Thanks Bill. I wonder if the tips would fit the Tamiya kit? I'll check around and see if I can find one somewhere. Thanks again. No luck so far. Ebay, Hannants, Sealmodel, and Litlinx were no go's.

Much appreciated Jeff. I'm glad you like it.

Thanks Phil. I've been considering another Corsair but I have 14 built already and really hate to do another. However, I do love the Corsair!

Thank you Martin! It was quite the challenge for sure.

Thank you Harv. I'm happy with the results but also happy to be done with it! LOL

Thanks! It took a lot of "beating" too LOL.

Thanks Gus!

Thanks Rowdy. I appreciate that!
