I've decided to stay with it.

Thanks Peter. Still a looong way to go on this one. Lots of weathering to do.
-
Thank you!
-
Basic painting done.
-
If you have some photos I'd like to see them Alfonso. Otherwise I'll stay with 2-tone.
-
LOL Correct Dave!! I'm closing in on 20 in 1/32 and not counting the 1/48 builds over the years.
-
Thank you Dennis. It's one of my favorites also.

A lot of the island based Corsairs suffered from bright sunlight and sand which was tough on the finish. Carrier based didn't have that problem. -
Well said Peter! I agree 100%.
-
Today's progress. Landing gear is next then the outer wings.
-
LOL I keep them in glass commercial display cases so they don't get dusty, etc.
-
Cockpit looks great Peter. Tamiya is another way to spell "stress reliever". LOL
-
Send me a photo of the "problem child" Phil. Maybe I can be of some help.
-
Thanks Bryan. They had a tough row to hoe in those days!
-
Thanks! It's a great kit.
-
I've done that too and it does help.
-
Thanks Gaz. I'm glad you like it.
-
All finished up Gaz. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19174-icm-b-26k-completed/

Thanks Dave. Yes, I have to watch myself of I will screw up and forget a step or something. LOL Those Barracudacal cockpit decals are really nice and add a lot to the cockpit. However, they can be a bear to use since they are so small etc. I look forward to seeing your update pics.
-
What parts did you screw up? It's possible I might have some you could use since I've built so many Corsairs. Lots of unused stuff left over. I'd need the parts numbers.
-
If you do go with the Tamiya cockpit be sure to get some Barracudacals for the Corsair cockpit. Otherwise I'd go with Quinta.
-
Been there done that Bill!!! Here's a peek at my "hardware". Worked fine and gave me good relief for several years but now, not so good. NOT going to do it again though!
-
More cockpit work.
-
what's on your to buy list for 2023 (newly released kits only)
JohnB replied to npb748r's topic in Modelling Discussion
I plan to get a Halberd 1/32 or 1/48 SC-1 Seahawk, a MicroMir XB-51 in 1/72, and a Revell new mold 1/32 Hurricane. Maybe some others depending on what shows up. I just ordered a Halberd 1/32 Cavalier Mustang conversion for the Tamiya kit. Looks really nice!

Phil I don't see a problem. Everything looks fine to me.
