Is a corsair F4U showing his parts in a different way, I used the Heller 1/48 kits because it have more plastic and supports better the cuts.

Ooooo....cool.   My first thought (while looking at the smaller thumbnail pics) was "Oh neat, he could've had the plane flying with the props at the back like a pusher style).

Then I enlarged the image and saw that was exactly what you did make!

Then I thought "I wonder if he considered having a full length nosewheel to make it more like a conventional tricycle gear airplane."  Then I realized how much better the pilot's visibility would be the way you have it already.

You are sooooo inspired, Pablo.

Holy awesome on a stick!!!!!!  :wub:

Love the fact that you chose a Korean-era finish for it too.  It adds so much more to it IMO.  Top notch build sir  :thumbsup:

Any chance of some progress photos?

Pablo, that's INCREDIBLE!

I just love the wing tip fins, they just makes the whole thing astonishing, superb work.  :thumbsup: :cheers: :bow: :bow:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Wicked!  :bow: The long canopy does a lot for the good looks of this aircraft.

Reminds me of the "Raven" from Crimson Skies.  :thumbsup:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Saw this on your blog page already, but I'll say it here; that is one very cool and well-built plane.   :bow:

And immediately I had the main menu music of Innocent Aces in my head..  :mellow:
