Thank You guys!!
Some progress on the Corsair.
Work continues in the central section.
I sprayed a coat of "Salmon" protection in the wheel well:
Light Gray (Gunze):
Zinc Chromate on the doors:
Rims; lovely details on those proposed by Barracuda compared to those (already very thin) from Tamiya:
Oil coolers are completed:
then installed:
They can be distinguished through the cooling flap whose lip was refined:
The leading and trailing edges of the fowler are completed and all awaiting paint:
Test fit:
For assembly that suits me, I placed strips of plastic card at the "break" of the lower wing part.
This enables perfect alignment of the radiators intakes and prevents putty after assembly.
Just leave a slight backwardation(?):
Gluing of the extrados:
I finally started working on the canopy.
Internal frames are never shown or proposed in photo-etched ... it does not suit me.
I (tried) to systematically achieve this detail which seems to me rather important in a cockpit, the more so when it is on the 32nd.
Further details will round, I hope the start of detailing.
Voilà.
Questions and comments are welcome.
