JohnB Posted February 11, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty44 Posted February 11, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Right now I'm planning on this one. The decals are from HGW and are "wet transfers". Â 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
