Re: Toby's RAF Jug
Oops. Picked the wrong everything.
Now sorted.
Thought I'd leave the earlier gaff to show how incredibly stupid I am and if we do an other Jug GB I'll be using that kit

Good choice of kit... The Tamiya 1/72 Corsairs are very good indeed.

Sweet, though we were going to see one hell of a conversion there for a moment

Re: Toby's Birdcage Corsair and not an RAF Jug
Sorry chaps. This isn't going to happen and this is the first GB I've pulled out of before starting. I think it was doomed from the start when I thought I was doing a Jug
Not enough time left to do this kit justice and my mojo is not up to speed building it. Hopefully it'll return for the next GB.

Re: Toby's Birdcage Corsair and not an RAF Jug. Now a HB F4U
I felt bad about letting the side down so I've found a HobbyBoss F4U-1 to hopefully get my modelling mojo back on track. Might meed an extension as I've had to order some special paint which won't arrive until next week
