1/32 Corsair Questions

It's kinda funny-I hunted this stuff up so i could do my own and now I've sent it on to two others and still even picked my own kit!

No problems at all. Sent you a reply back as well. Thanks for everything.

jew0312:

I sent them let me know if there is a problem

Found 'em, I've got plans/drawings for 20+ aircraft and I need to start labeling my CDs when I burn them then maybe I can find stuff.

Thanks for the info guys. Claymore68, I'd definately be interested in the blue prints if you could find them. Thanks!

Corsair, Hmm, think I have some blueprints around here somewhere. Also read in a book (Hell in the Heavens by Capt. John M Foster USMCR) that VF-17 was using shorter than standard props from one of the Grumman cats. I,ll hunt up those prints if you are interested.

I also have the old Revell Corsair in 32nd. I picked up the Black Box inter and it looks pretty darn good..!!! Let me tell you it is almost a kit in it self
I did pick up a PE set by Eduard just for the Instrument panel. BOY what one will go throu to be happy LOL..!!
Flaps up, Mike

Here's another article about the Revell kit with a Black Box cockpit set. I still don't see the pedal troughs though.

You may want to pick up a copy of Verlinden Publications "Modeling, Detailing, Painting, Weathering WWII Aircraft Vol. III". It has a brief article with some excellent photos of the Verlinden set. It looks pretty good. I don't know anything about the Black Box set though. Here's a link to the review of the Black Box set. What I don't see are the classic pedal troughs

As for the Trumpeter... hard to say. Hopefully they'll do a better job than they did on the F4F, although they did recall that one. Guessing, I would say it will be a more detailed kit than the Revell and include recessed lines. Stay tuned!
