hi all
some weeks before I placed here some pictures of my ...propably FAA...Corsair with the Merlin engine...or better with a Griffon?...enough space in the nose -_-
now it has a name and all updates will be posted here...
I have no ideas about the possible digfferences ´but now all ideas are placed on paper and the work will continue...
so the update for today...
the tailplanes are now like on the Sea Mossie and it looks better...
the canopy will be propably changed to the bubble type...
the picture below show the test with an old hobby craft dash5 kit...
it looks nice and the canopy will be stolen from the fury...falcon´s one :rolleyes:
at the night today the work will follow :zzz:

here the test fuselage
it was sawed and taped over and casted with resin...like my fuselage from the mustang some months ago...
it works very well and its the simplest way I know...
the work after is minimal and the effect is great
if anyone is interested to make his own corsair project so let me know and its  yours :cheers:
it was as a test bed only...
