JohnB Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 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
Ivan Ivanovich Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 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
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 24, 2019 Administrators Posted January 24, 2019 John, you might as well tell us what you're gonna start on this Sunday, because this'll be done by then. 7

Peterpools Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 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
JohnB Posted January 27, 2019 Author Posted January 27, 2019 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
