Nearly finished. Just have to re-attach the gear doors, flaps, radio mast and prop. All painting and decaling done (and in a little different scheme). 🙂
-
I don't throw stuff away. 🙂

Thanks Kevin. I'm glad you like it. I'm at a loss as to what became of that part. I looked all over my work area, etc but had no luck. Curiouser and curiouser!
-
Those are some good looking schemes Chris, I think I like the #7 best though. A scheme you don't see every day! 🙂

I was in IPMS for many years but haven't been active for quite a while. Do you remember your member number? Mine's 4992.

LOL Chris. 😄

I suppose so Peter. When I built this we had no internet or any kind of handy research materials other than a few books like the Squadron books. I think it was in the late 60's or early 70's. Mail ordering was the only way to go for stuff.
-
Thank you Peter. I too like the way it turned out and I intend to do another before too long. 🙂
-
Never was in one of my cases. When I started getting cases a few years ago this model had already been on a shelf gathering dust. 🙃

This is a Otaki 1/48 Corsair that I modified as a F2G Corsair many years ago. As you can see it's in need of some fixing up! My plan is to remove the decals, canopy, etc, clean everything up with some warm water, and re-paint and re-decal the model. I hope it will look like new! 🙂

All done with this one. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/20286-eduard-148-bf-110g-4-rfi/

I'm calling this one done guys. I think it turned out pretty well although the canopy part is still MIA. I hope it will turn up at some point. Attaching the nose antennas was a very tedious process. Hard to get each one straight and when I tried to readjust them I usually broke another one off so I finally decided to leave 'em be. I painted the model with Xtracolor, White Ensign and Testor's MM. Decals are Aeromaster. I plan to build another one with a little different camo scheme. I hope y'all like the model! 🙂

What is on your bench right now ? Share a picture :)

Looking real good Peter! I look forward to seeing the finished model! 🙂 -
The decals settled down nicely. Very thin, etc. My fingers are crossed also......🙂

Painting and decaling completed. I'll see about attaching the landing gear next. It looks like it will be very touchy. I don't have a canopy piece ordered from anywhere.
-
On thinking about it I've decided to go on and finish the model since I am so far along on it. I hope the part will show up at some point.
-
Bad news! Somehow I managed to lose the top of the canopy clear part. I've looked all over but no luck. I don't want to continue the build not knowing if I can complete the model. I hope to come across the part at some point but for now I'm going to set the model aside. 😒

Love that Xtracolor paint Peter. Always a winner. 🙂

Thank you Peter. Actually the horizontal tail fits rather well. I guess it just doesn't show up that well in that last photo. Might need a little smoothing out but nothing drastic.
-
Thank you Chris. Was easier than I expected it to be! 😃
