Tamiya 1/32 F4U Bird Cage Corsair

[rodrant]

HI ,

I was thinking what to do in this SiG , , I was between a F6F Hellcat in 1/48 , or this one a long wait in the stash ... decided for this one , the Tamiya 1/32 F4U Birdcage Corsair with some extras :



To the base of the kit , decided to do it landed , will use this Zoukei Moura Base , and some pilots also from Zoukei Moura in Resin , well decide to use them or not when checking the Tamiya figure in the kit , seems that is a nice figure !



Also some Fabric SeatBelts from HGW



Reference :

This books that I had in my small library



and of course , I have Paul's videos on it's build of the same model.

Still didn't decide if I wouldn't use more stuff , it will be pitty to build this without some Photo Etched to put me crazy or some nice Resin Wheels , some say that the rubber ones aren't nice , but will see , we have almost Two months to buil it ...WHAT only Two Months ?????

Good luck mate! It's a TERRIFIC kit! I'm in the middle of it right now. Quite honestly, it's a bit overwhelming for me. I tend to work on it for a couple hours and then have to put it down and investigate each detail further for fear I won't do it justice!

Have fun with it!

Hi guys ! Unfortunately I will not even start this one in this SiG , will enter another model .I'm afraid that I won't make justice to this great kit and with only two months to build it and also with the Homeland GB starting , will focus on the Homeland GB ( that will be a first attempt in Jetfighters build ...) and will enter this SiG but with a different build that will arrive soon !

I would like to make this Corsair some other time and with no stress in finishing it ...so this one for now is out of the workbench for some time !

That is a good decision, this is supposed to be a fun hobby, not stressful
Too nice of a kit to be rushed
