BlrwestSiR Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Great problem solving there John! I sometimes wonder why model companies hate their customers and do things like that which make you crazy. Carl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I put it on the SOD I walked away ........ and decided to build another Corsair!

Agree the Tamiya Corsair will get the mojo flowing again. That P-61 has fought me tooth and nail from day one and I've just had enough. This hobby is supposed to be fun and that SOB definitely is not fun (unless you are a masochist). I'm looking forward to enjoying the Corsair build. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted September 12, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2018 John, I’m a resin-0-holic, so I understand masochism. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 LOL Ernie. I too like resin kits/accessories as long as they are good quality and don't require a lot of "make work". I built two HpH resin P-63's which were no walk in the park but were enjoyable builds with very good moldings and details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect even the most expert builders would agree. It makes you appreciate all the more the Tamiya and Hasegawa kits, just to name two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Some kits are just made for the shelf of doom, pity. The good News is, that in recent times These kits became particulary rare. Godd luck with the Corsair. Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
