JohnB Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 As most of you know I love those Tamiya Corsairs. After the arse busting build of the HB P-61 I need this fun build. So here's a shot of some of the progress on the cockpit. This is the F4U-1A kit which I plan to do as Marion Carl's a/c. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 27, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 27, 2019 So by the weekend you’ll be done. Do you delay the choice by three days. John, I’d say an HPH L-39 would be just the ticket........ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted August 27, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 27, 2019 Or a KITTY HAWK P-39 would be right up your alley... That kit kicked MY arse 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kit kicked MY arse I agree that it's a PITA to build as the one I built a while back had a very high cuss factor. I started another one a couple of months ago but lost interest and put it on the "to be continued at a later date" shelf. LOL 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
