Done with the engine. FAR from perfect but it'll have to do.

[JohnB]

Making progress. It's hard to tell but the cockpit is actually interior green but, in the photos it looks like yellow zinc chromate. Oh well.

 

[Peterpools]

Nice progress John on the big P&W

Keep ‘em comin

Thanks guys. Remember, I had a head start with the cockpit when I resumed work on this kit. 😀

I have to say, I'm not really all that pleased with the engine but it is what it is at this point. Oh well....😐

It passes muster for me John once all painted and the plane complete it will fit the bill.

Thanks Kevin. Those were my thoughts also.

I’d be very very happy if I’d even got close to the look of your PW…….

Thank you Peter.

As sometimes happens I've gotten tired of this build. When that happens to ME it's a formula for aggravation and screwups. So, I've put it aside for now and will look around for something else to work on (certainly don't have a shortage of kits to choose from). I'll get back to it LATER. 😐

Holy smoke Sherlock………a JohnB Corsair being partly and quietly placed on the “later” shelf……..I demand an immediate investigation………..hey John why not………

LOL Phil! I just got a bit "uninspired" and decided the best thing to do was set it aside for a bit and work on something else. I'm well along on it but I decided to give it a short rest. I'll get back to it pretty soon (after I finish the Revell PV-1) which had been sitting on my shelf staring at me for a good while. It should go well with the 1/48 A-26 I finished recently.

Perfect way of working

While I'm waiting for the P-51B stuff to show up I'm going to resume work on this Corsair.

Good call and a perfect way of working.

Coming right along. Painting soon!

[JohnB]

Painting under way! Love that GSB! (I'm finding that if you click on the photo(s) the image comes up a bit clearer.)

Amazing progress and some beautiful air brush work. Are you still shooting enamels?

Keep 'em comin
