JohnB Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Since I'm burned out right now on the Mossie I think it's time for another Corsair (my standby for the burnout cure). In keeping with my usual build process, I have begun painting most of the interior, wheels, canopy, etc. All that will be done and ready when I get to that portion of the build. 4 1
smitty44 Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 You could copy and paste one of numerous corsair builds, there have been so many, and we would never know! 7
JohnB Posted February 11, 2020 Author Posted February 11, 2020 Maybe so Smitty but I would know. No fun in doing that. 8
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 11, 2020 Administrators Posted February 11, 2020 And I made it halfway through exactly one...... Maybe someday I’ll finish it. 6

BlrwestSiR Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Nice! Not many Corsairs with noseart. Carl 5
Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Hi John. Have you ever built a Corsair in RNZAF colours? 2
Bomber_County Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 You’re going to finish another one before I even finish one...... 4
Old Dog Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 Do you use an off the shelf color for the salmon or is it a custom mix ? 3

JohnB Posted February 11, 2020 Author Posted February 11, 2020 I decided to take inventory of my built Tamiya Corsairs in 1/32. F4U-1 Birdcage ------- 6 (Not including the one I'm building now.) F4U-1A --------------- 3 F4U-1D --------------- 3 Plus 3 more in my stash (1 of each). LOL Also, 1 Trumpeter -1D built. Obviously I really like the Birdcage. 6
Bomber_County Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Hope you asked for discount for Mr Tamiya......... 5
BlrwestSiR Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Very nice there John. Are you still using those Fine Molds belts? Carl 4
JohnB Posted February 25, 2020 Author Posted February 25, 2020 Thanks guys. Yes, still using the FineMolds belts. My eyes and shaky hands aren't up to threading the other type. 3
