JohnB Posted November 4, 2023 Posted November 4, 2023 Time for another Corsair build. This colorized photo decided me on this build. Ought to look pretty neat! 7 1
Peterpools Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 John Nice start as always on your newest Corsair ... no question she is going to be a beauty. 2
JohnB Posted November 5, 2023 Author Posted November 5, 2023 Good progress on the cockpit this morning. Coming right along. 7 1
BlrwestSiR Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 Coming along nicely. Definitely the white accents on the fuselage will pop 2

JohnB Posted November 5, 2023 Author Posted November 5, 2023 Rear cockpit bulkhead and seat installed. You might notice the info printed under the head rest is black, not red as supplied on the Tamiya decal sheet. I just re-printed them in black using my laser printer. I've never seen any red one's in color photos, just black. Not saying there never were any red ones, I just never have seen anything but black. 4 1
Peterpools Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 John Nice work on the front office and correcting the caution placard on he bulkhead was a nice touch for sure. 1

Expand Thanks Peter. I did that correction on all my Corsair builds but just never mentioned it.
Peterpools Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 John Looking good and I should be trying to keep up some type of steady bench time as yours ... just a bit too much going on right now to sit and work with a clear head. 1

JohnB Posted November 8, 2023 Author Posted November 8, 2023 Some more progress. I'll close up the engine later on. 8 1
BlrwestSiR Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 Looks good John. This being a land based Corsair, did they remove the tailhook? I'm got a stalled one with the tailhook removed and the opening plated over. 3

I will leave off the tail hook on this build. 3
harv Posted November 9, 2023 Posted November 9, 2023 Another excellent John build! Looking good.... 2

Peterpools Posted November 9, 2023 Posted November 9, 2023 John Looking so good and I'm so accustomed to your steady progress after all these years, that I'm always finding myself knowing the next update is normally just a day away. Nver knew that land-based Corsairs had their arrester hooks removed - learn something every day. 3

JohnB Posted November 10, 2023 Author Posted November 10, 2023 The white undersides, etc are done. The Intermediate Blue is next then the Sea Blue. 5 1
