JohnB Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 As you all know I love the Corsair and, as far as I'm concerned, the Tamiya kits are the best and a joy to build. I decided to build this one as one flown by Marion Carl. Paints used were Colourcoats, Model Master and Xtracolor. After market items are Barracudacast wheels and cockpit detail decals. The seat belts are by FineMolds. I haven't added the stretched sprue antennas yet as I'm sure they would get broken while taking photos. I hope you like the results of my efforts! 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 She makes a very nice addition to your collection of Corsairs John. I need to do another one at some point. I'm only at two so far. Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1to1scale Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Another fine Corsair! I know you are going to build another, so, How about a NAS Reserve Corsair next? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! That is a good looking -4 and would make a great looking model if Tamiya will ever release that version. It would be possible to build a reserve -1D in a similar scheme as I have seen photos of those. Something to think about! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 8, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 8, 2019 That guy got a little sideways and had a genuine off roading experience. John, this model is truly gorgeous, as usual, and of course, it'll make a fine addition to the FB page, right? I give you credit though. I haven't even managed to get through my first Birdcage. It's such a beautiful kit, an so bloody precise, I missed carving and shaping so much I threw it all on the SOD. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Well done, John! I think it's about time you built a 1/32 scale aircraft carrier for all of these corsairs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
