Tamiya fantastic kit out of the box. Montex masks for stars and numbers.

That came out real Nice and the weathering is superb something I often live in fear of,

Wow, that is NICE! Excellent weathering and paint. Now you just need to build a radar equipped version! (hint, hint)

Thanks!  I'm not a fan of later versions so night Corsair is a good idea for making Birdcage once again.

Thank you John, yes Tamiya is producing masterpieces. Sadly they don't love 32 anymore 😒

Yes, it's a shame they no longer are producing new 1/32 kits. There are so many that would be excellent kits by them. 🙄

One awesome weathered Birdcage, so very nicely done. 

Yup, it's a shame Tamiya has abandoned 32nd scale other then to continue to supply their already released kits and thank goodness, they are continuing to do that.

Fantastic looking Corsair. I really like the paintjob and weathering with the hidden 13. I build the exactly same airframe many years ago as my first plane kit, re-entering the hobby and enjoyed the build a lot.

That looks brilliant. I have the 1D version to build. I just picked up the Anyz cockpit framing to include in my build.

Outstanding for sure! Well done.
