Here are a few pics of my latest.

Tamiya base kit with clipped wings and a few other modifications to make a FAA bird that operated on HMS Unicorn in 1944.

Beautiful plane and nice finish. It's good to see a Corsair in a not so typical scheme. Having built one myself I can tell that these Tamiya Corsairs are really fun to build.

Really nice result. What conversion did you use for the cropped wing tips?

None....  I cemented to supplied wing tips into place and when properly dry I marked the cut with some tape to guide it and razor sawed the end off.  I then placed a roughtly shaped piece of clear plastic into place for the wing tip light and sanded the whole tip into shape.  I bit of scribing and all was done.... It is easy enough to do.

Nice one Barry, I really like the FAA Corsairs. Very nice that the Tamiya wingtips are solid so they can be clipped. Simple and easy.

Cheers

Hey Barry

just seen this - nice!!

what did you use for the scoops on the fuselage?

what reference did you use for the scribing on the clipped wing tips - I have no idea what is required but you mentioned some scribing...

many thanks for sharing
