mmmm....Corsairs were meant to be bashed.  Liking the progress shots, looking forward to more.

Ed, I'm really liking this and doubly impressed that you can make your Ave's look like after market resin bits that were designed for this kit!

Here's the latest on this one. Construction and major PSR is completed and it's ready for the paint shop.  It now has it's new vertical tail.  The ailerons haven't been added.  They will be painted separately and added at the end of the build.

They say that madness and genius are only a short step away from each other...we have living proof right here!...GLORIOUS!

What kind of weapons are planned for it to haul around?

Zeke,  it will have typical Vietnam era bombs, rockets and napalm.

Here it is with a coat of primer.  I plan to get a color coat on tomorrow.  The plan is for a gull gray over white 60's color scheme.
