Toshi - A great job you did, building this kit of such a fine old war bird as the Corsair. Super nice paint application, you have really advanced your airbrushing skills. 

Enjoy the tank and Arizona builds, we'll all watch to see them on the "assembly line." Thanks for all the posts and photos.

A very Merry Christmas and the best of New Years to you and your family.

Your builds are getting better as you go. I thought the chrome Mustang was good but this Corsair rocks. Great job.

She looks great Toshi, congrads!!!

As to the airbrush, it's much like your music, the only way to master it is to practice, practice, and practice. The nice thing about modeling here is you can always paint over it if you don't like the results.

And very cool Arizona and M41, those should be fun to build, the 1/32nd Mosquito though I'd be rather intimidated!

WOW Toshi you've done a wonderfully gorgeous build !

Question;  how did you attach the antenae and what did you use for the lines, it looks so life -like with no glue blobs anywhere?

Maybe Mrs. santa will get me a 1/32 for Christmas lol

Thank you so much for your support.  I so enjoy our conversations! As for my antennae I used a product called EZ-Line.  It was through eBay.  You can purchase this from Bobe's Hobby House. 

2 East Nine Mile Road Pensacola, FL 32534

850-433-2187

www.bobeshobbyhouse.com

It can stretch up to 700 times it's actual length, and works really well with CA.  The EZ-Line I purchased is the one made for 1:48 kits.  EZ-Line also comes in 1:72 up to 1:32, if my memory serves me right.  LOL!

The CA I used is Extreme Power.  You can purchase these from Hobby Lobby.  I purchased the Thick and Thin.  Make sure you buy the glueing tips.

Great job on the Corsair Toshi.  you have come a long way in your skills.  The Walker Bulldog is a fun kit, I built mine in a weekend and I am far from ever building much armor. Hope to see you build a battleship. Scott

Check out my USS Arizona build "under-ships".  I'm a quarter ways there.  I decided to do this in honor of my father and my great grandmother who was shot at by the Japanese Imperial Navy Zeros during the Pearl Harbor Attack.  They were shopping for their Sunday morning groceries at the time of the attack.  If my dad got hit, there would be no Toshi at all.  WOW!

I'm looking forward to this very first ship build here!  Then I'll check on the reservations.

TY for the info Toshi. I will definately pick up the CA as I have a Hobby Lobby near me.  it's ironic that you live near Cleveland and purchase stuff from Florida where I live now and used to live in Cleveland.

Yes, it is ironic that I would be making my purchases via Florida.  As for the information, no need to thank me.  It's what we are here for, to help our FSM brothers and sisters in anyway we can.  As always Mr. Jay Jay, it's my pleasure!
