    It does make a nice model but I think I've had enough P-63 builds. I'm considering another Corsair just to re-visit a fun build!
  2. JohnB
    LOL Thanks. It would be hard to find for sure, at least for a decent price. I have another in my stash but that's where it will stay as I have no intentions whatsoever of building it. Three is enough!

    Thanks Gaz.

    All primed and ready for painting to begin. French AF Indo China/Vietnam.

    I don't think I've ever encountered that problem. Bummer! My choice of paints has long been enamels and Alclad which might have something to do with it. Good luck straightening it out!

    Agreed Harv. Thanks! Next I'll overspray the model with primer in preparation for some PAINT. Still a long way to go though.
  7. JohnB
    Better! Not perfect but better. Still some small areas to clean up.

    Spoke too soon about the canopy! Now I'm working to blend the rear portion in to the fuselage. Terrible fit.

    I hear that Ernie! I took most of yesterday trimming and fitting the canopy. Took all day but finally got it done.

    Thanks Ernie. It has been a bear to build but I think I have all the toughest things done. Those guys at HpH must just want to make things difficult for us builders. Even the canopy masks don't fit! Jeeze Louise!!!

    Ready to mount the instrument panel and gunsight.
  12. JohnB
    Same here. Just never got around to it.

    I'm just getting my stuff together for it and haven't decided on any particular a/c.

    I just got a shipping notice from them so they should show up pretty soon.
  15. JohnB
    I found them at High Planes Hobbies.
  16. JohnB
    Thanks Martin. Now if I can find someone who actually HAS some I'll see about purchasing a set.
  17. JohnB
    Sorry but nope.

    I remember someone making these (Cobra Company?) but haven't the foggiest as to where I might find any. All help is appreciated!

    Progress! Now to go back to the cockpit and re-install everything and then attach the canopy parts. Dare I say it's downhill from here.
  20. JohnB
    Wings adjusted and roots faired in, etc.
  21. JohnB
    Bummer for sure. I'll go on and finish it and move on to something else.

    After taking a closer look I do believe the fuselage is slightly warped. Not a thing I can do about it so I'll just have to live with it. Sure wish I had noticed it when I could fix it.
  23. JohnB
    It might be slightly out but some of it is a optical illusion due to lighting and areas that have primer on them and others that don't. At any rate there's nothing I can do about it now.
  24. JohnB
    I hadn't noticed that but it does look out of alignment. I'll have to check it out. If it is there's nothing I can do to correct it at this late date.

    This much has to be trimmed off to allow the wings to attach with the proper dihedral.
