Thanks Peter. Much easier for clumsy me!

[Clunkmeister]

Nice solution John.  It sure is looking great, though.

Thanks Ernie. I should finish assembling the wings shortly. Some fit headaches.

Nice work John, Good to see this one back on the bench.

Thanks! I'm glad to see you here on the bright side!

Great problem solving there John! 

 

I sometimes wonder why model companies hate their customers and do things like that which make you crazy.

Yep. After I put it on the SOD I walked away ........ and decided to build another Corsair! LOL Just the thing to get the bad taste out of my mouth.

Cool. What markings ? I have actually thought of doing a "D"

Overall GSB for sure but specific markings are undecided right now.

Sorry to hear the troubles with the P-61 as I know you'll do a Stella job on it. 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.

 

[Clunkmeister]

John, I’m a resin-0-holic, so I understand masochism. 

[JohnB]

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.

What a Pity, and you were doing so well.

[Grunhertz]

Ouch and that was looking great. I wondered why you don't see many built at shows

That's just the way it goes. I'll revisit it some time in the future.

I guess it's just a kit that has more than it's fair share of problems. I wish I had never bought the dam thing.

And for you to say that John, it must a SOB..........

Yep, it's a SOB alright. 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.

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

When it gets to be a grind and no fun, back in the box and up on the self.

WOW, another Corsair. I'm ready and waiting
