BarryWilliams Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) 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.

DocRob Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 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. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 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 Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
