Peterpools Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Sounds like a plan and I'll be waiting for the update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 Here ya go. All the "base" camo done. Some weathering is next. Those a/c were all very weathered so I'll need to be careful and not over do it (or under do it!). 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 Here's a tip for you guys that will make the wing fit much easier. If you plan to have the wings extended this works well. If you are going to have them folded you will need to go on and attach them as shown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 Nearly finished. I was starting to do some weathering when my compressor crapped out. So I decided to slide the wings in place (not glued yet), place the canopy and prop on and take a few photos. Bear in mind it is NOT yet finished as there is still a bit of weathering, etc to do. At any rate, here is how it stands today. (Replacement compressor ordered so when it gets here I can finish the model and place it in Completed Builds.) 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't quite done yet since I need to do some more weathering. That will have to wait as my compressor quit on me today. Hopefull by the weekend I can resume work. 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandy1 VX-4 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I don’t know if you know about these . But maybe for your next five or so Corsair’s, you can use them ANYZ 3D printed Corsair cockpit frame’s https://anyz.io/shop/product/AN080 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 John Just figures, it would take a compressor failure to maybe slow you down, but I know you already have a plan in gear to keep working. BTW, your Corsair looks brilliant and the wing fit is perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is right now they aren't glued in place but do fit pretty well. I want to reduce that little "gap" which shouldn't be a problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Just ordered four cockpit detail sets from ANYZ for my upcoming Devastator build. When the Corsair set arrives, please do a detailed review as I'm looking to purchase two of the Corsair sets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope John doesn’t mind this in here!! just received my ANYZ 1/32 cockpit sets. and Corsair canopy frame. Now I wish I had purchased two Corsair sets! I highly recommend with your order to purchase the tweezers / Forceps also! their decals look great also! What was a nice touch is just out of the frame. You can see that. Do not touch cardboard inserts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
