Nice finish, Toshi, a job well-done on a kit that can give modelers some hassle, much as we all love it Smile

Now maybe you should tackle some of the other classic Revell 1/32 kits.  I've got some, myself, to get to some day (the P-47D Razorback, which I never built as a kid, only the bubbletop; the Kawasaki Hien; and the re-issued of the P-51B).  It's fun to see people build them today, and show that they still hold up pretty well.

Thank you sir.  I didn't know about other 1:32 kits by Revell.  I'll have check it out!  Thanks for the visit.

Hi, Toshi -

Another beauty in the build logbook, very nicely constructed and finished. I think you should have been a car racer at Bonneville, that's famous for speed as well.

I've been working for about a week on the Airfix 1:72 Tiger Moth, some left to complete. Since the time I started writing this post, you may well have finished another model.

Build on, Mr. Master Modeler.

Thank you sir.  Yes, this kit brought back fond memories during my youth.  I start to recall all of the different kits I built.  My favorite kits were designed by monogram.  Thank you sir for always supporting and visiting my builds.

Good to see you finish this one up Toshi. Those wings are a nightmare in the 1/48th scale and they look about the same in the 32nd scale offering. Nice wrap up there.

Thank you sir!  Yes, the wings gave me anxiety because of my past experience.  Once I had completed the build, I was very happy in the way it turned out.  Thank you for the visit.

Wonderful finish Toshi. Your work on that Corsair is quite impressive. Thank you for taking the time, albeit quite a short amount of time, to build this older classic for us as well as for yourself. Not only are your builds a thrill to follow but, so are your threads. Always a joy to read. I am looking forward to your next project. Corsairs Forever!

Godspeed, Joe
