Kriss Looks mighty good and for me, my vote would be just wet sand and move on from there.

Oliver The rope not only looks mighty good and I shouldn't be amazed on how you attached it to the bumper - nice touch for sure.

Scott - looking mighty good

OMG, the decals are a huge letdown and so glad to see Gold Medal Models is coming to the rescue. Peter's (AirScale) sets are also a must needed addition. One point we need to keep in mind, is the Devastator isn't a a new kit, designed so many years ago and perhaps (who knows) if what Trumpeter is offering in the way of decals was par for the course a decade or so again. Me, I'm just dancing in the isle I have the kit after waiting all these years.

Rob Looks mighty fine to me

Phil It's hard to compare Tamiya's current price with present day kits. When the Mossie first came out, it was expensive and that didn't stop me from buying the Mossie as soon as the kit was available. Over time, the talk on the street was the kit was a huge investment and the return on their investment and resources was below expectations and I have no idea if that is correct or not. We all were expecting another version or two of the Mossie from Tamiya which never appeared, as she was the last of the 'new' 32nd scale releases if I remember correctly. 🙁 I'm a Tamiya "Fan Boy" and proud of it and wish and wish they would come back to 32nd scale. My only guess is, placing their investment in their recent 48th kits, which are the class of the scale, the return is more significant. I really haven't a clue, but I have purchased all their latest 48th scale offerings are they are superb.🏆

John Absolutely you are the King of Corsair builds and you're off and running - looking good with the Salmon Pink and Dull Dark green on the parts. Completely agree why you love building Tamiya Corsairs.

Gaz Nice progress on the drop tank - details, dents and dings are looking mighty good. The tailwheel is coming along nicely and a lot of work for such a small part.

Martin How about a review for all of us who are model paint addicts🙃

Carl It's the Egg Plane version for sure. Mine looked like the normal kit. 😉

Rob Right with you - watched a video by Airfix on the kit and it does look mighty good.

Nice looking Jug and after having built Tamiya's Bubble Jug a few years ago, I'm up for another one.

Thanks Chris Absolutely a new ballgame for me and just getting use to the world of helicopter's is a learning curve in itself. Now throw in Kitty Hawk's 'kit style' and there is a frustrating learning curve to navigate. With Oliver's help, I've been making slow progress, but progress just the same. Not so sure how 'epic' the build is going to be as my goal is to finish the Seahawk and enter the build in the Noreastcon next March.

Mike Thanks so much, greatly appreciated.

Vandy Follow Oliver's advice and Floyd will return your email request. I think Floyd will be printing additional sets after the IPMS Nats.

Thanks, Oliver, for the offer and absolutely the PE will work wonders. PM sent.

Thanks Rob, we're very much appreciative. Kit wise, I decided to scrap the idea of a OOB and go with Oliver's suggestions of the interior AM, which should add and correct a good number of the interior detail issues. As far as the fit and assembly problems, I just feel KH should have thought out the procedure a lot better. The instructions just show the general area of what goes where but it's vague at best for a builder who hasn't built/completed a KH kit before. Slowly making progress and finding my way.

Thanks Gaz Very much appreciated. We're a bit apprehensive about the procedure next Monday and hopefully it will resolve a good portion of the medical issues Diane is going through.

John Brilliant build. Love the scheme and the look of the 190. 🏆

John You're amazing

Phil Awesome progress and some mighty fine work. The Mossie is in a class by herself and maybe did Tamiya in with the cost of the kit ... who knows just glad we have the kit to enjoy. The wheels and tires are beyond ingenious and mine was a joy to build. Just might build another one, as following your build is got me thinking.

Rob The corrected work looks awesome - perfectly done.

Did I miss something - where is the rope?

Oliver I completely agree with using the castings from Werner's Wings, as they will solve so many problems with the kit for me. Sent you a PM as to where they actually are on the site so I can purchase them. Just keep those suggestions and ideas coming, as you are keeping me on the path and helping me address so many issues with the kit. So greatly appreciated,

Phil Can't go wrong with any H&S air brush - all are quality, precision tools.🏆
