Corsairs forty years apart
Posted by mississippivol on Sunday, July 19, 2015 6:55 PM
A couple of photos of my dad's and son's Corsairs that were built 40 years apart. Dad's is the Hawk kit and my son's is the Academy.

Dad's had that good old Testors brush paint job. Flew a lot of missions with her when I was a kid.

My one and only number one favorite aircraft of all!  Isn't modeling just amazing when it can span time and at the same bring three generations together.  Congratulations on a job well done as well as sharing this family moment with FSM forum members the world over.

That is a neat memory. I wish I had one like that.  :)

I've got other memories, but not this one. What a treasure!

You know what's missing? Your Corsair.

Modeling truly runs in your blood.

Amazing how you've been able to keep a kit that old intact.  My very first kit, now 32, needed complete restoration after the first 15 years.

Thanks, y'all!  I do have one, but we were at dad's and I didn't bring mine.  Hoping to see a fourth gen added to them one of these days.

Make sure your display case is big enough for all four! That would be a phenomenal treasure.  :D
