Yes, its RC, and its a baby compared to the 1/4 scale and 1/3 scale monsters most guys build. I am limited with space, so 1/8 is the largest I go. It looks like your Tamiya model is a scale detailers dream kit.  Can't wait to see more.

And the wings come on.  I dont think its crazy.  I think the inverted gull is sexy!

Toshi, looks great, so much like a full size build.  I really like the detail in your kit. I know about those gull wings, they are a buggar, especially building them out of wood.  Attached is my 1/8 scale Corsair.  This explains why I am out of room for another one even in 1/32.  My ceilings are only 5'-10" high.

Yeap, really starting to look like a Corsair now with those crazy inverted gull wings!

This is the extent of the build as of last night.  Thank you for the visits and support.

These Tamiya kits are just a pleasure to build. The pit and IP are looking outstanding.

Coming along nicely, Toshi.

Nice to see this WIP. I have one in my small stash, gives me some idea what it's all about.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving holiday.  I only have a few pics to show some progress in the Corsair build.

Very nice work on the cockpit here too Toshi! Although after the 'Silver Surfer' the Corsair needs a name too- maybe 'Blue Bullet???'

Sorry to hear about you dropping your older Corsair, I know how that feels, I dropped a 1/35th Jadgpanzer IV on the basement concrete floor a few years ago when airbrushing her. And nice of you to donate your builds to different people, I hope they have a good home. I figure all mine will end up in a dumpster when I go belly up. 

PS: I went ahead and ordered the Tamiya A6M 51 Zero from HLJ. Of course it was backordered, hopefully it will be here in time for a little Christmas present to myself. 

 

You will not be disappointed with the Zero build.  It is exceptional beyond belief.  You will be pleasantly surprised.

Toshi, your are making that cockpit look easy. In fact, I now want to build one of the Tamiya 1/32 kits. Problem is, I need another 1/32 Corsair like I need a second nose. I have zero place to put one. But it looks so nicely engineered.
