Thanks Gaz. I'll consider it but, as I said to Ernie, WW II Japanese stuff isn't my cup of tea.

Thanks Ernie. I had a couple of the Zero kits at one time but sold them off as Japanese WW II stuff isn't my cup of tea. I do have a Hasegawa A6M5 I built about 30 years ago which goes well with the Corsairs. I'll have to post a photo of it with my latest Corsair. I too am looking forward to the Airfix Hellcat. Should be a winner!

Thanks Martin.

As most of you already know I really like Corsairs and Tamiya, in my humble opinion, has released the best kits of the Corsair I think we'll ever see. So here is my 10th build. Mostly OOB except for Barracudacast wheels, cockpit decals, and FineMolds seat belts. Painted with Colourcoats and oversprayed with Alclad clear flat. Decals are a mix of kit decals, Barracudacals and Eagle Edition Decals. I hope you will like the results of my efforts.

All done. See RFI.

I'm happy to help.

Received a email from them that the needed parts are on the way.

I had a lot of problems getting the engine to mount right. The provided mounts/braces threw off the cowling fit. My solution was to toss the supplied braces/mounts and do this. Far less of a hassle.

It certainly isn't a "shake and bake" kit but with patience it can be a really nice model. I enjoyed building mine but it did have it's "moments"!

Thanks Peter. I've started decaling and a little weathering so it's coming right along.

Painting nearly completed but still more to do then decaling and weathering.

The belts are by FineMolds Mike.

Thanks Carl. It's nice that Tamiya gives us the choice.

Glad to see there will be a third. They are like potato chips. You can't eat/build just one! LOL

Thanks Peter. The big plus for having the wings folded is it saves display space. I folded the wings on 3 of my previous builds but decided not to on this one as you rarely saw the ground based a/c with their wings folded.

Thanks Martin. It's coming right along.

Progress. Outer wings are next.

Great OOB build Ernie. Nice work.

Great looking Jug. Nice work.

I just read a build review on AeroScale. He really likes it. Go figure! LOL

B-25 is coming along nicely!

Looking mighty good Peter. The overall GSB really shows off the Corsair's lines.

Thanks Peter. Agreed!

Thanks Frank. Corsairs rule! LOL

Thanks Anthony. Maybe at some point.
