Thank you Jos! I hope i won't overburden myself with these correction resins! 🙂

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Doug Eby
What an impressive build, your munitions are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing! Did you end up using any of the resin nose corrections, and if so, how do they go?

Szabolcs Szana Yazar
Thanks Doug! Yes, i used all of the resin items! The resin nose required quite a lot sanding and filling, but wasn't so horrible. Intake ring area was more difficult, to achieve a nice seamless appearance.

Thank you, that gives me some confidence to have a go at it. Your posts are inspiring.

Thanks Doug! For the next time, i would build it with a little bit of a different approach, first to assemble the left and right resin parts with wheel bay and intake, instead of the "normal" or suggested way. However, i'd like the most if any manufacturer releases a new tool of the early Corsair versions.

really good looking Corsair.

Very beautiful Corsair! Perhaps the yellow frame of the cockpit is too bright. Nevertheless - excellent!

Beautifully executed! The tonal variations used throughout (including the ordinance) is top notch. Attention to detail is phenomenal - including the wire attached to the fuse - VERY WELL DONE!!

Szabolcs Szana Yazar
Thank you very much! I've some unfinished business with the ejection seat, canopy, and RBF tags on the ordnance, and i think it needed some local additional weathering too. Yuri, the canopy frame in reality is much more cream yellow, the contrast is a little bit more on the photos.

That's a good one. Very nice, I love the detail on those bombs and Shrike/HARM? Looks great!

Guy Rump
Great result! 👍

Szabolcs Szana Yazar
Kevin, they are Shrikes. Thanks! 🙂
