This build was heavily influenced by Ed S's Turboprop Corsair build, which was wicked awesome by the way. However, I built mine in my prefered medium of paper. It is a kitbash consisting of the Fiddlersgreen Corsair as the base kit, a prop spinner from the FG Mustang, the tip tanks are from the FG F-84 Thunderflash, and most of the nose is from David Case's Pondracer kit. I may send a revised version on the pattern to Fiddlersgreen to see if they could include it with their Corsair download package. Finally, I added some detail with a metallic sharpy marker.

I love this differentkind of model! :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :thumbsup:
YES!!! :thumbsup:
Turbo prop Cosair, Way cool. And nicely done. I've played with some paper/cardstock models and found it isn't as easy as some people might suppose. Good work.
Ed
Very beautiful, thanks. :thumbsup:
Could you add a photograph of its profile to appreciate the elegant new lines?

agreed very different, less forgiving too. Excellent job :thumbsup:
Nicely done! :thumbsup: I can't build a paper model worth a darn. :banghead:
That is tight! :wub:
But now I'm having visions of a 1/48 kit converted like that, with SEA camo and a big load of ordinance on the wings. . .
Yes, yes, SEA camo on a turbo-Corsair-----seems so natural.
Great paper model, Atlantis!
