catfan Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 so I have a academy corsair in 1/48 now in stead of building it out of the box I want to build it as the super corsair that flew around RENO during the 80's now my 2 biggest questions are where do I cut to clip the wings. and dose ultra cast make a prop that I can use because the plane had a sky raider prop but I don't know where to get one.

Spokane-Modeller Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 dont know about the wings, but for a prop, tamiya makes two versions of the skyraider and i believe there are a couple others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Its been a project I have wanted to tackle for a while now. I have collected a skyraider prop, a spinner and a marauder cowling. Despite that I still needs an extensive amount of scratch building and the ability to vac from a canopy. Decals would also be a bit of an adventure - most pictures just don't provide enough clarity to make a good set. Here are some of the shots I have collected: My link Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spokane-Modeller Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 CM, couldnt you search google images for the sponsor decals along with the Budwiser and BUD LIGHT decals? and then size and print them on decal sheets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
