Thank you Bill.

Thank you Carl!

Thanks Harv!

Just about done with the cockpit tub.

Welcome Scott.

Okay

Hey John, I have that part. It was glued in place for a test fitting but I removed it and will be happy to send it to you. Send me your address. John

VERY nice work! I love those Tamiya Corsairs.

Since they are on holiday until the 18th it looks like it will be a while.

P-40B finish is on hold for now. Nearly done!

Seems they are on holiday until Feb. 18

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

Here is the problem. I screwed up the armored glass/windscreen. P-40B.

Can someone tell me how to order replacement parts from those guys? Thanks!

Looking really good!

Received the stencils/masks so now I can proceed with the rest of the build. Stay tuned! This is the one I decided on.

Nice work on a oldie.

It always seems to be SOMETHING doesn't it Peter. I try to be extra careful nowadays as I'm a lot more clumsy than I used to be. I posted a reply on your thread. Hope it helps.

Peter, Bad luck for sure. If you need a replacement spar let me know as I have "several". One thing I learned early on in my builds was the outboard spars are very difficult to slide into the outer wing sections. I recommend using a moto-tool with a grinder attachment to thin them down then apply a little Vaseline along the edges. This will go a long way to easing their fit. Might be a little late with this advise, sorry! John

I still refer to the instructions to be sure I don't forget something. Easy to do at my age!

LOL

I don't plan to build any of his birds so go for it.

No I haven't.

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.
