1/48 Corsair II (Monogram)

I had this kit laying around, since I got for free I wanted to give it a try. I did use Eduard color cockpit set. I used Aires Escapac seat. Shawn Bemo

Very nicely done, looks really great!  I like the details you put into it, that's a lot of work.

Looks great to me!  I had the Monogram Corsair in my stash but I ended up selling it off.  How well did it all go together?  I thought I had read that the Corsair was orginally an Aurora kit with some Monogram refinements.

I looked that up, you are correct. Interesting.

Whoa! That's some impressive work Shawn. Very sharp and clean construction and paint. Nicely done. I like it!

Hello Eric, I think you are right. Of course any Monogram kit from 70s and 80s is going to have fit problems. I think that is part of challenge. Shawn Bemo
