Thanks. I was pleasantly surprised to find this one wasn't warped like the last one I built.

Fuselage together with Aires cockpit, engine bay and engine installed. Next to the wings.

Thank you Peter.

Progress for today. I haven't added the reflector glass to the gun sight yet as I don't want to accidentally knock it off.

LOL Scott. Thank you.

Thank you Chris. The Aires set was very fiddly to assemble but worked out okay in the end. I'm glad you like it.

Thank you!

I decided to do another Royal Laotian AF AT-28D using a KH T-28B/D kit with a Aires cockpit. I'll use some AoA decals. I've been busy with this cockpit set this morning which is all Aires with the exception of the scratched seat armor made from sheet styrene and the FineMolds belts. Still some detail work to be done here (dry brushing, etc). I think it will go well with my other RLAF AT-28 builds.

Thanks Paul! Most appreciated. I'm glad you like it!

Thank you for the nice comments Jeff! Very much appreciated.

No problem Peter. Different strokes for different folks as they say LOL.

Thanks Stuart. Agreed 100%.

Thank you Peter. I think I'd say the weathering is somewhat more than "light" but that's just how I see it.

Thanks Dennis! I'm glad you like the way it turned out. Thanks again.

Thanks Peter. I'm happy with it.

Done with this one. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/20037-birdcage-corsair-redo-completed/

Got this one finished this morning. I think it looks much better now than it's original paint job. I used Colourcoats and Testor's MM with Barracuda decals. Oversprayed with Alclad clear flat. I tried not to over do the weathering. 🙄 As always, please click on the 1st photo, etc.

They weren't glued in place so they slid right out. Thanks.

Yes indeed Peter.

Painting and decaling done. Next will be a clear flat overall. Then fading/weathering. So far I think it looks really good.

I think it will look good. A better color scheme I think.

It should be a attractive Corsair when done. It will need some weathering but I don't plan to go all out on that. Enough is enough I think. Those 2 little windows popped right out. Nary a problem.

Repainting under way.....

I've decided to go with this a/c instead of just repainting, etc and using the "old" scheme.

Thank you Carl! I'm glad you like it.
