JohnB Posted August 5, 2021 Posted August 5, 2021 This will be my next project after setting the Corsair aside for a while. As you can see I had started the build a while back so now I'll pick it up where I left off. Should be a nice build using some Vector after market cowlings, etc. 8 1

JohnB Posted August 6, 2021 Author Posted August 6, 2021 Some surgery is necessary to use the Vector cowlings but they will be a nice improvement. 4 2
Spitfire Posted August 6, 2021 Posted August 6, 2021 For some strange reason I have one of these kits and the RAF version, I think they were a special offer job. So I will follow with interest Cheers Dennis 4

JohnB Posted August 8, 2021 Author Posted August 8, 2021 1 hour ago, Kaireckstadt said: Me too John! Will follow this one closely Seems to be a very straight forward kit with things fitting well (so far). Looks like it won't take a long time to get it built and painted. I look forward to the painting on this one in the 3-tone scheme. 5
Peterpools Posted August 8, 2021 Posted August 8, 2021 John Love the scheme you are planning on doing. And of course, your "it won't take a long time to get it built and painted" doesn't apply to us mere mortal builders Keep 'em comin Peter 1 2

JohnB Posted August 10, 2021 Author Posted August 10, 2021 About ready to attach the engines and nacelles. First I'll shoot a primer and see if any more work is needed. 5
Peterpools Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 John Nice progress - the engines look so good and knowing you, all will fit like a glove Keep 'em comin Peter 1

I did test fit the engines and cowlings and the fit seems okay. I have to credit that to Vector's good work. I should have the engines and cowlings installed soon.
