Padubon Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Gentlemen, This is the work in progress of a 1/32 Tamiya -1A converted to a -1C by modifying the required parts, and using some from the Trumpy -1D, also Master Models 20mm Hispano barrels. Please, any suggestions are more than welcome. I am new to LSM I wish for your patience with the pictures. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 16, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 16, 2016 Nice! What parts did you use of the Trumpie kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padubon Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 I used the rockets, rocket mounts, propeller blades (needed to be thinned a bit), and bomb racks. An additional bomb was taken from another Tamiya Corsair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padubon Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 A picture with markings of the only -1C ace of WW2, # 11 flown by Lt. Joe D. Robbins, VF-85 aboard USS Shangri-La, 1945. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padubon Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 This are the pictures of the final work on the -1C. The propeller was made from the Tamiya Corsair prop spinner and the paddle blades from the trumpeter -1D. I decided to replace the 500lb bombs with 1000lb using Hasegawa ordinance. Please, suggestions are welcome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
