I have a number of books. Detail and Scale Part 1 is very good. AJ Press Monograf II on the Corsair, Modelers Datafile 19. I will have to go into the shop and get the other titles.

Are you buying more books?

Regards,

Oops, dopey me. I meant my workshop. I have a few books down there and some printed stuff off the net.

I'll trade ya a slightly started Dragon Mustang AND Trumpeter P47...

If that's a Razorback P-47, I could give it a VERY comfortable home here in NZ !!

Don't think I can throw it that far but it'll be close!

Going well James excellent building there :drinks

Well disaster has struck. Not paying attention to what I am doing and I made the inner left flaps using the up position. It would not fit well at all so I looked again and puzzled it out. I managed to get the flaps apart, but they look crappy. Am putting a request in to Tamiya and hope I can get new ones reasonably inexpensively. I guess I can do the right inner flaps, landing gear, and the vertical stab while I wait. Very disappointed with myself.

Don't let that stop you James. See if you can clean up that flap with some putty and sanding. :zen

Show it who's the boss, no more Mr Nice Guy (an obvious Alice Cooper reference )

I hope you can rework the flap and save it or at least able to get a replacement part.

Okay I have buffed it out all I can and hope after some paint no one will know about the flap. Getting closer to the paint stage btw. Maybe be able to do it this weekend I hope.

Bottom pic you can just make out the damage. Left inboard as you look at it.

Can't see a thing!

 

[jknaus]

Thanks guys, appreciate the boost. I think the only thing left is stress marks on the plastic and I hope they disapear under a coat of paint. Will know better then if there are any imperfections. Thinking I should get another as punishment and do it in USN livery with flaps up and wings folded. :hmmm :evil:
