They certainly do have a certain appeal. Thanks!

As most of you already know I am a big fan of the Tamiya Corsairs and have build 9 so far. I just never get tired of these very pleasurable builds. As I am waiting for some masks to show up for my Peefartybee I decided to go on and build Ken Walsh's -1 using Barracudacals. As I had already built the engine back in December while I had some time on my hands and was trying to decide on what to build next I'm ahead of the game on this one.

At a standstill right now waiting for masks from TopNotch in England. In the post. While I'm waiting I think I'll start ANOTHER Corsair build. Ken Walsh's a/c looks like a good subject so that is the one I'll build. -

No real bad ones Carl so it's onward and upward! LOL -
I received a email from someone this evening showing me he had my password. The one he had is the one I use here and a couple of other sites, He demanded bitcoin payment or he would send embarrassing content to all my contacts although I do not go to "those" sites and use passwords, etc. I'm pretty sure it's a scam but he DID have my password for LSM. So, just in case guys, I'd recommend changing your passwords. For the record, I DO NOT view or download porn nor do I have a webcam that I parade around in front of nekkid!!! LOL (Anybody that does that is asking for it!) Anyway, I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up on this "just in case". Jeroen, Is our security up to date? Here is a site that details all that: https://www.hoax-slayer.net/fake-blackmail-sextortion-scam-emails-using-real-passwords/

Mitsubishi A6M2 correct cockpit color?

I'm glad you like it Peter. That kit may be old but still pretty good. Certainly not up to 2019 standards but that's okay by me. Add some after market wheels and cockpit and it's good to go. I too look forward to the Airfix kit. -

Thanks Dave. The shallowness of the cockpit doesn't really bother me. As they say, close enough for government work! LOL -

LOL Peter! I'm looking forward to finishing this one up as I'm ready to move on to something else. Don't know what yet though. -

Progress. I have to say most of the parts fit pretty well. Mask stencils are on the way from Topnotch in England so painting will begin soon. -
Be warned! It's a SOB to build. The cockpit framing etc. makes it VERY difficult to install and get the wings on. I built one a couple of years ago but no more! Good luck!!!

The CMK cockpit set is finished. Much better than what the kit gives us. It's kind of strange to me that the gunsight on the B/C's was down between the rudder pedals and reflected up onto the armored glass behind the windscreen. Hard to see in the photos but it's there. Straight from my leftover parts stash. -

LOL It's evident by the photo how bad the kit parts are. I like the CMK set. It's crisp in detail and looks good so I'll use it.
