Grabbed a Birdcage for kicks when released ... some of the best kicks to be had on reflection ... but an FAA corsair was what I was REALLY after!!

 

A truly awesome kit ... now just needing Euro-Theatre operational decals and some clipped wings I guess ...

 

Rog :)

Only technique books I've found really all that useful have been Rinaldi's TankArt series...

Considering you could write technique books yourself Matt, that narrows the field for you!

 

I admit I only have a handful of "hard" reference books, the majority of my library is online stuff (blogs especially are worth much more)

 

but yes the Tankart ones are on the wishlist

That and the Jim Weschler book, "How To Build Better Sherman's". Technics he explains, yes…..actually explains how, can be used on almost anything.

Street price for Corsairs in Tokyo (out the door):

 

New F4U-1A: $101 US

Birdcage: $72 US

 

The Birdcage is 50% off what Sprue Brothers list price.

 

Lovin' the exchange rate these days!

​Yep…. we are now "dealers". Squadron wants 2 bills for theirs. Crack must be real expensive in Texas now.  :blink:
