Hi Harv N12 assembly 90, and N23 assembly 89 are for the wind fold details page 37 and K25 is a tie down hook page 36 assembly 87 Peter

Hi Guys Lost parts Been trying to find bench time this time of the year and keep moving forward on my Corsair. Somehow, I've developed a good case of the 'drops' and have managed to loose three key parts: N12, N23, and K25. I called Tamiya Customer Service looking to purchase the complete frets with these parts (the only way they are sold/replaced) and was told the frets are not in stock, they will need to be ordered and they might be in by mid January with no guarantee. I can proceed with the Corsair but once I reach the priming stage (not to far down the road) I'll be stuck in the mud. Not sure what to do and without knowing I'll have the parts to complete the Corsair, I've decided to just put her on hold and wait and see. Peter

John OPPS! Awesome build as always Peter

Thanks Carl The OD looks smooth with even coverage. With your thumbs up, I'm going to buy a half dozen or so colors and give them a shot. Peter

Martin .. completely agree as there is only one US distributor as well and just seems what I need is nearly always out of stock Peter

AK Real Colors: Read with great interest Ade's review on the Modeling News. As an acrylic lacquer, it caught my eye and I'll be giving it a try in the not so distant future. While my main go to paints are Mr Color, I've been looking for a line of lacquers that not only deep with all the needed colors but will be available from a number of online vendors. Has anyone tried the new paints yet? The Modeling News link: http://www.themodellingnews.com/2018/12/133-new-colours-in-ak-interactive-air.html#more Peter

Kai Welcome aboard and so glad you scouted us out. Looking forward to another awesome build in the not too distant future: tomorrow would be fine Peter

Tom Brilliant progress and love her with the cammo on. Your build has cemented my next build after the Corsair: Car Door Tiffy as well. Super work on the cowl assembly; the final fit with the small wedges looks great. I remember reading somewhere one of the parts for the intake assembly was shown backwards on the instructs. Any problems here? Keep 'em comin Peter

Peter After all these years, I'm still amazed at your incredible abilitirs and talent. The level of detail is brilliant; as always. Keep 'e, comin Peter

Thanks Mike, much appreciated. Peter

Thanks Gaz, much appreciated. I seem to torment myself over color and not worry too much accuracy. I must be a mental case for sure. Peter
