Peterpools Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 John Looking so good and you have the "Corsair" magical touch for sure. Tamiya should make you a Corsair Ambassador. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 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. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 John 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 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. Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
