JohnB 1,477 Posted January 24 As most of you already know I am a big fan of the Tamiya Corsairs and have build 9 so far. I just never get tired of these very pleasurable builds. As I am waiting for some masks to show up for my Peefartybee I decided to go on and build Ken Walsh's -1 using Barracudacals. As I had already built the engine back in December while I had some time on my hands and was trying to decide on what to build next I'm ahead of the game on this one. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan Ivanovich 1,093 Posted January 24 I think I'll have salmon for dinner... Great start, John. Definitely not a Corsair guy, but I really like the look of the early birdcage hose noses. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peterpools 1,755 Posted January 27 Hi John Geez, what a surprise and I really am glad to see you digging into another Birdcage. I have no doubts you will blow right by me as I'm working a a snails pace these days but love following all your builds especially Corsairs. Actually I just posted an update, as all the priming is now done and then disaster struck. I went over it in the update and am hoping my fix works r I'm dead in the water. Keep 'em comin Peter 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnB 1,477 Posted January 27 It always seems to be SOMETHING doesn't it Peter. I try to be extra careful nowadays as I'm a lot more clumsy than I used to be. I posted a reply on your thread. Hope it helps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
