@Michael: Thank you!

@Burkhard: Yes, I believe it is.From the scant photos I have been able to find it appears she is in serious need of some TLC....

Nice, I built this using the same markings/CAM decals a few years back! They went on great!

Finally got all the resin to the point that it all play well together.I then commenced some scratchbuilding in the exhaust area.I made these by putting plastic rod in boiling water until it softened a bit.I then pulled it out and wrapped it around a suitably sized dowel until it cooled.I realize now after all the work,that I should have used plastic rod that was the next size smaller.

=( Oh well...

hey Scot, any progress on your Corsair? Did you fix the size of the plastic rod or did you keep it (=what I would do 🙂 )

I decided to keep it.... Too much of a hassle to change it. 🙂
