scottrc Toshi, the more I watch you progress, the more I hope the cat jumps up and squashes my current 1/32 Corsair I have on the shelf so that I will have room and an excuse to build this kit. You really are doing a great, detailed review of it.

allanToshi, The reason you are a fan of the Corsair is the same reason its my favorite WW2 plane - the TV show. Hahaha. It made such an indelible mark on me.
Jay Jay I second the "WOO HOO " This is your best yet and I'm excited to be watching your WIP, Toshi. TY for posting all this.

Thanks for always being there for me on my threads. I really appreciate it!
To my fellow forum members,
I have here the main fueselage of the Corsair. I still need to touch it up, clean it up, and do some type of wash. Thank you all for the support.
infofrogI'm so jealous . I want that model .. You are doing A super dooper good job Rick
Gamera Allan: That is cool, thanks for the link! Toshi: Yay! I think masking maybe my most hated part of aircraft modeling, good to see you're though that!

Here is what I worked on after dinner.
Gamera Lol, I meant crazy as in far-out, awesome instead of insane! And yeah, those pre-cut masks are expensive but they're worth every penny!

scottrc At least the masks have lines you can follow. And yout did fine. Beats the old method of putting Frisket or masking tape over the canopy and trying to cut out the frames. I have done that for too many years and am now willing to pay for the die cut masks.

wing_nutI agree, that was tedious. The good news was though that once cut they fit great. Do a cracker jack job here Toshi.

This process is very tedious. These canopy maskings on all of the 1:32 series Tamiya aircraft are not precut. You must cut these out yourselves. This took most of my day, I just don't have steady hands anymore.
infofrogLooking very good . Hows the manual . What I seen , they look awesome Rick
