Talk about mind confusion … I thought Robert Conrad and wrote Richard Wagner … 

Thanks for pointing out my mistake, and apologies to John for the thread drift … 

Hubert

Thanks Hubert. No problem.

[JohnB]

More progress.

Looking so good and you have the "Corsair" magical touch for sure. Tamiya should make you a Corsair Ambassador.

Thanks Peter. Agreed! And supply me with all the Corsair kits I want for free! LOL 🤣

[Peterpools]

Wouldn't that be cool

[JohnB]

Making more progress with painting underway. This is the a/c I'm planning. It's a F3A-1 Corsair built by Brewster. Unfortunately Brewster didn't do too well building the Corsair with many management problems. I think this is the only one still around.

Nice progress and a Brewster Corsair for the collection - now something. painting is my favorite part of any build and once there, you're officially in the homestretch.

I don't think we'll see many, if any, Brewster Corsair builds. Another something out of the usual.

[Peterpools]

Agreed for sure

Looking good John. Btw, « management issues » seems a synonymous acronym for Brewster. The key reason, plus a funky U/C design for a carrier-based fighter, for the failure of the Buffalo.

Yes indeed Hubert. That was a terrible u/c design on the Buffalo.

Painting near all done except for some touch up work.

Thanks Harv! The final step after painting and decaling is a overspray of clear semi-gloss since the "real deal" it's modeled after is fairly glossy.

Looks good there John. Like you and Peter said, you don't see many Brewster Corsairs. 

I wish someone did a Goodyear F2G conversion for the Tamiya kit. I'd get at least one that's for sure.

Looking good, John.

John

Tri color paint scheme is looking so good and has your magical touch all over it

Thanks Carl. I too would like a F2G conversion for the Tamiya a/c. I think that's a great looking bird!
