Thanks everyone. If you're a fan of the Corsair, or even just a fan of singularly great models, you gotta build this.

@ Derek, was your Dad a Corsair pilot?

Derek Jordan
No. He is a private pilot but an aerospace engineer with a love for WW2 aircraft.

Thanks all. The wheels were aftermarket, As was the transfer case, and cowl flaps. This is a truly amazing kit.

I'm always in awe of people who can turn plastic into THAT. Wow. Truly spectacular.

You are too kind. This kit does most of the work for you. It's just that good.

awesome work.
But are you sure the roundels had the red borders

Derek Jordan
Matelot I am positive that for this aircraft at the time I'm presenting, it had red outlines on the roundels. Its been awhile but I had considerable notes regarding this aircraft and that was one of the details I labored over.

In any event good question and thanks for the compliment.
