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.

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.

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

Could you add a photograph of its profile to appreciate the elegant new lines?

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!
