JohnB Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted November 7, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted November 8, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will leave off the tail hook on this build. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted November 9, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
