In terms of new kit purchases, yeah bro, I’ve done that. Not ashamed to admit it. I remember cracking open my Eduard 1:32 109 long-term decompression project. The fuselage was warped and wouldn’t fit together to my liking. It was bad. So I bought another kit, and bass-bing, I had a fuse that for together nicely and a whole bunch of spare parts. Did that with my 1:48 Corsair kit whenever I dropped it and broke it (needed the spars that hold the wings on). Shoot, I’ve bought four of those Tamiya Corsairs in 1:38 and one in 1:32. I donit if that’s what it takes LOL I get a little obsessive :lol:
lol! 4 kits! you've got it baaaaad man :bow: I have to say though - it obviously paid off, because your Corsair is stunning!

Thanks Lyle, and I'll check his vid out. I quite like Will's videos but I've not seen that one!


Well poke me in the eye with a fork and call me uncle... Or something :shutup:

I sent Hobbyco (the UK Tamiya agent) an e-mail this morning, and have already had a quote back from them (3 hours?) - one phonecall to pay later and I have a nice shiny new clear sprue on it's way to me!

Woohoo! :dancing: Back on Track!

... Noe I've just got to get the old one off... :hmm:

The 30lb flak hammer is on standby, but as I'd like the rest of the airframe to survive - I might try and gently remove it first... :grin:

"Oh great Styrene Master in the sky. Grant Stuart fair modeling winds and may the canopy pop loose as easily as if you did not want it to! Hallelujah, where is the Tylenol?"

I think they call it "Amber Colored Fizzy Water" or something like that.
