CorsairMan Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just as I am waiting for some accurate roundels... My baby daughter was born! She is super cute and is taking up all my time (and I am loving it!) I did manage to get a nice glosscoat on tonight. Decals will be this week and who knows, I might get this one done before the deadline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Congratulations on your new arrival! I know you'll be plenty busy now with a little one running around. We'll be here whenever you have time to finish up the build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Decals on! These xtradecals went on like a dream! Best decals I've ever used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thats too cool! The corsair really looks good in a NMF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Looking good, CM. Keep it up. I hope the new 'Corsair Mistress' isn't keeping you awake all night!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 We've had a few hard ones,that's for sure but overall she is doing very well. I'm off for a couple weeks to help CorsairLady. I think the thing I've noticed most is that there doesn't seem to be much consistency at this young age. Somedays she eats like a trucker and other days she'd rather sleep. Hard to figure one day to the next but we roll with it. She's awful cute though so we are keeping her! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevehnz Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Shes a girl, so don't try & figure. I had three boys & consider myself thrice blessed compared with the tales I get related by fathers of girls, still, I'd hate to think of a world without them. :D Steve.

CorsairMan Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 OK update The plane got a dark wash on the metal surfaces and a light wash on the anti glare surface. I also painted the lights Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neo Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Sweet looks real nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I really can't understate how cool this build is. Your doing a great job on a unique aircraft! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Wow this is a very cool build! I can honestly say that I have never seen a NMF Corsair before. This has been educational on so many levels. Well done ! Don. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 So true - NMF on the Corsair would be rare given the environment it operated in. So I had to do this one! I am trying to find some time to get a flat coat on this to wrap it up. Between work and the little one, its not easy! Maybe this weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Very nice effect with the weathering, CM. Good show. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 No pic but the flat coat went on well. There is still a dull metallic sheen and the markings are flat. I was also able tp install the gear doors, gear, and the flaps. So its looking like the finish is right arund the corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Done! When I get a chance I'll post some nice pics in the finished builds section Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 That is too cool! I don't know if it is the fact you don't see them ever, but a NMF Corsair is an awesome looking airplane. You built a darn good looking one too. I'm certainly entertaining a WIF project because of this build, its very inspiring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Great work CM. The flat coat gives it a worn look but not beaten and downtrodden. Way to go. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Thanks guys!! I really like this one... its going in the case! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
