Greetings,
finally came around to take some photos. Starting hopefully tomorrow ... Older cousin of Beany's big Big BIG Intruder .
I have cockpit for it so should be unusual build (for me)
Corsair - the cousin of big Intruder. ***DNF***

You had me going - I thought you meant an A-7 Corsair. I have a very old boxing of this one as well so I look forward to seeing your build.

No pictures to share yet but cockpit is assembled (painting soon). The model will be rescribed as well. So far it is exactly what we remember: old kit with accurate shapes but a hard one to update.

My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Re: Corsair - the cousin of big Intruder.
check out Mike Ashley's webpage. He has some guides on there for improving aspects of this kit with scratchbuilding

Re: Corsair - the cousin of big Intruder.
Splash, thank you for the link! It was actually helpful and informative.
Ralph, I am struggling to find enough benchtime to put it together and rescribe the beast . I am not sure if I can do too much of scratch-building.
Still no pictures but progress had been made. Have not had time to go and actually do interior painting yet therefore, so far, corsair exists in form of multiple sub-assemblies.

Work will unfortunately be continued in a normal mode, since I may have (maybe) an hour spare to work on the beast between now and the end of August.

That's a shame, Marek.
Never mind, it was always a big ask to finish this one in a month.
