Really looking forward to this mate.

I'm looking forward to this one as well. There's a bit more colour on it compared to the others and it's quite different in appearance. Now if I got hold of an F2G Corsair, that looks very different! Hideous, but different

[FTS]

I actually forgot I'd entered these for this GB. The target I've set myself actually meets the deadline and I aim to have 4 Corsairs built in 4 days. I've added a French F4U-7 to the line as well to make the 4th.

I'll keep putting all of the builds in one thread until I start painting them. For your benefit I decided to photograph them with all of the boxes upside down

Well done sir.

Another one ready for the spray bay. There's a lot of spikey things to be knocked off on this one!

These F4 builds, in the group as they are, is inspiring me to do a similar thing with my P-51's or P-47's.

When I can budget getting some Alclads i'll be pushing out a batch of Mustangs. For now the F4U dominates the bench.

Oh hell!

[FTS]

This one needs it's own prop making and then will be done. It's currently loaned one off of the Au-1 for photo purposes.
