Administrators Clunkmeister Posted October 26, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2020 John, you KNOW you’ll be doing another. Its a tough build, but as resin kits go, it ain’t bad at all. Not shake and bake, but decent and nice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm considering another Corsair just to re-visit a fun build! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will give you all kinds of fun times. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Nice and shiny, always a great feel to have buried all the problematic areas under a coat of paint and not being able to spot them anymore . Cheers Rob 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Opinions needed. This is the a/c I'm doing but I have a question for you guys. Everything I have been able to find says the spinner is blue/white/red with the blue in front. Looking at photos, unfortunately b&w, it appears to me it should be red/white/blue with the red in front. What say you? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaS Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 On the French Tricolor, blue comes first. Red first would look RAF. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 On French aircrafts, the blue is always in the front in the direction of flight, John. Hubert 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Looking at the saturation of colour between first and third bands, IMHO it’s blue first........ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 John, you are showing skills of a real deal model maker, taking a kit that has been a huge challenge, and making it into a master piece, your end results are excellent, and you should be very proud of your efforts, it will be a beautiful model when done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the kind words Jeff, thanks. I will say there were times I wish I hadn't started this one. Now it seems the end is in sight and all the high cuss-factor stuff is past (fingers crossed!). When done I'll have to look for a "fun build" next! LOL 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
