Test fit time. Looks like it will do okay.

Hey, John, does you living room look like this?  

[1to1scale]

Seriously, you need to put all your corsairs on a table one day and take a picture.

I'll do that. Yes, I'll need a big table!

Progress so far. It's difficult to see with all the cowlings on but I did add wiring, etc. Now I'll start on the wing mid-section.

 

[Clunkmeister]

Looking great, John!

Let me know when you’re placing your next mass order, I’ll buy stock.

I’ve bought 10 Junkers D.1s two different times, but they were giveaways to grow a brand, notto start my own Staffel!  LOL

Well done, sir!  Well done!

Thank you Gaz. I have a printed deck that looks pretty good. I'll have to check on getting another.

[JohnB]

Progress as of this AM. Now it's on to the outer wing panels.

 

[JohnB]

Just to show I'm still working on the -1.

[JohnB]

Most of the painting is done although some touch up will be needed in places.

Nice John, I guess you can build them blindfolded .

Cheers Rob

Well here we are. Painting and decaling all done and ready for clear flat overspray and then some weathering, etc. I decided to model this VMF-214 a/c instead of the one I had originally intended.
