I'd love Super Corsair in 48th

Melk has one

Much obliged!! THANKS

As the title says - I'm looking for these decals. Willing to trade or buy. If you just have the checker boards I am still interested Thanks!

So long as the team from la lost.

I think I can help.

Hi there - I am building this along side a big Corsair and things got stalled when I tried to put on the decals. No matter what, the decals would not settle at all. It was like they were stickers. I tried a couple times without much luck. So I resorted to painting on the roundels - as you can see, they turned out ok

Yup! I'd be all over that. as far as other 32nds, I'd love to see a Kate or a Val.

Since coming back to the hobby in 2007 I've avoided the real garbage that I built as a youngster. The one that gave me fits was the Classic Airframes Claude... and of course it did because after I finished it, there were announcements of new tool kits on the market. Anyhow - that thing was just a real pain but I would not let it defeat me.

Big T has been good to me lately so I won't complain about "yet another 109"

Hi there - this was my entry for a local build night group build. I really enjoyed this kit - it was very well engineered and well worth it if you can pick one up. The last shot was my entry at CapCon on Saturday.

They were very good at the last show. I'd say just as good as Hamilton.

Hi there. I've got one I'm not likely to get to anytime soon. I also have a bunch of resin with it. Its a big box I'll take a look at a shipping alternative if you are interested

Looking to trade for a couple of unwanted kit burner cans for a weird project I am putting together. I am not too picky Located in Canada Got lots of spare Corsair parts if you need something.

No problem The opening itself is slightly over 1/16" wide So....From the edge of the outermost gun barrel measure 9/32" Starting from that point its slightly more than a 1/16" opening.

You're such a diva!

I have the kit. Would you think I could just measure a length from the outermost gun barrel?

Let's do this again!

I built one as a kid. I sadly remember the bowed wings and the really crappy rub-n-buff I applied. I think I still have a part of the fuselage that I used as a paint mule as I got back into the hobby. But this one CAN be turned into a silk purse (Mike's got at least one that I've seen up close).

Hi everyone, I signed up for a kit - this thing looks cool and the price is reasonable: http://kck.st/2vBPHdy Its got a long way to go though!

I really like the blue one! Well done

Hi all - just skipping quickly The fuselage closed up very nicely. FAA Corsairs had chopped wings - depending on your source, it can really be confusing as to how much to take off. I relied on some pictures of FAA corsairs (and not drawings) to approximate the right spot. I also glued in a piece of clear sprue and filed/sanded/polished it to shape. That is what the tamiya tape is covering. Tamiya Corsairs are notoriously tricky to get the wings aligned properly. This time I followed the instructions after I shimmed up the inside of the mating parts between

Hi guys - looking for checkerboard decals to do a F4U-1d that served with VMF-312 on Okinawa. I can get the regular decals (ordered) but these don't come with the checkerboard patterns for the cowl and rudder Anyone know where I can get one? Thanks!

I saw it last night. I really enjoyed the cinematography and the mood that was created. The aerial scenes were very well done. I was also very impressed with how the sinking ships were done. I get that he didn't want to do a documentary and I believe he made a good film considering the facts. But to be honest, I felt the movie, while beautifully shot, just dragged on. Then again, there are only so many ways to tell a story about a bunch of guys standing on a beach or slowly sailing their little boats across the channel.

I have a few kits (cars and figures) that I bought for one reason or other. But then I realized that I've never done one before. How about a group build where we mix things up? If you always do aircraft: try a motorcycle. Or do one of those kits that are entirely photo etch My idea is a group build to Try a whole new thing and see where it goes? I'm open to suggestions as well.
