Thanks terry


MP, Thank you but I have to rebuild my motor mount, miss read of the drawings and made the lower legs to wide No room for the air boxes!!!


A few ref. pics to try and give a feel for where this one is going. As I said in the beginning, trying to depict a plane under going a restoration in the current time....


This pic from the Vought archives showing a Corsair under construction really got me thinking of a plane showing finished parts, primered parts and eveything in-between ....

This pic of a current resto project is giving all sorts of good inspiration...

A few pics of progress...

Pup, here is a pic of those air boxes that are causing a redo on the mount!!!

Mr. Tamiya put out a wonderful kit but forgot to include the back half of the engine, Some progress in these next pics but by no means done yet...


Ref pic from Vuought archives...

A final pic for tonite of progress on some support pieces...

Thank you for looking in!!!

All kidding aside, I'd like to know more about the giant hand you pose in the pictures with the resto Corsair.

The translucency of the finger tips is spot on, so I'm guessing it's made of silicone, but a hand that size made of silicone would be ridiculously heavy. Is it foam latex with silcone tips? How many operators does it take to work?

Randy , you're down right scary !

Someday I'm gonna need a C-1 stand for that 1/32 scale Phantom I'll build someday . May have to contract you out . They are not very different than what you just built.

Awesome stuff !
