Revell Corsair 1/72 Build

Post by pauld »

Got a number of candidates for this

Hobby Boss 1/48 F6F-5N Hellcat
Academy 1/48 F4U-4B Corsair
Revell 1/72 F4U-1A Corsair
Airfix 1/71 SB3/5 Dauntless

Probably do the Revell Corsair first. Who doesn't like Corsairs ?

Spoilt for choice :thumb1: I would like to see the revell corsair - is it the new tool? But I do have a soft spot for the older kits so would be nice to see the Dauntless :cheers2:

Started on the Revell Corsair. I was masking the canopy (do that first, get all the "this is a pain" jobs out of the way) and the large rear section broke in two in my hand. Contacted Revell who say it will get handled. Don't know what that means.

Haven't done so well photographing the whole build. Please be kind - this is the first thing I have come close to completing for a long time :)

I still need to weather up / complete the landing gear.
The canopy also broke in half when I was masking it - Revell tell me there's a new one on the way.
