Corsair - the cousin of big Intruder. ***DNF***

[Marek]

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)

[Martin R]

You've gotta love a bent-wing bird!

[beany]

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.

[Stuart]

Nice!

[Marek]

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.

I have published a walk round of the F4 Corsair in the Fleet Air Arm Museum at RNAS Yeovilton Here is the link http://cluster8.secure-staging.uk/ashdo ... index.html

I hope you find it useful.

check out Mike Ashley's webpage. He has some guides on there for improving aspects of this kit with scratchbuilding

[Marek]

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.

[Marek]

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.
