I decided to start on this one today. Three tone with folded wings. Not sure this will be the particular a/c but we'll see.

"The King of the Corsairs"

Will be following very intently, as I have the kit as well and am very interested on seeing how it's wing fold compares to the Tamiya Corsair, I built a few months back

I like Corsairs for sure but I don't think I'm "The King".

We'll see how the build goes.

Progress as of today.

Just the FineMolds belts Kevin. The rest is from the kit.

John, that cockpit is beautifully done.  Wow.  Your dry brushing is top notch.

Thanks. It's coming along just fine so far. 🙄

Looking good sir. How do these kits compare to Tamiya's kit?

[JohnB]

Thank you. They compare very well. Many of the parts look like "rescaled" Tamiya parts.

[JohnB]

Fuselage together.

Looking mighty good. Your progress always keeps amazing me - so perfectly done. 

[JohnB]

Lots of painting done today!
