Found out that this is proving to be quite a test in patience and skills though as this model definately wasn't meant to be built as a bird with the wheels and flaps up. Here's where I'm at so far today....
Here's a wing to show one of the flaps up, the outboard flaps on the wings after the "bend" were the easiest...
Then there's the matter of the flaps directly near the fuselage, before the "bend" if you will....
First off, on the starboard side of the aircraft, one of the flaps has a square missing, I believe this is the foothold or what have you for pilots, I read in some review that the earlier corsairs did not have this, I can't remember when they added it but I looked at some photos of the birdcage corsairs and they did not have this.
So with my limited supply of sheet styrene I cut and sanded out a piece to fit the top half of the flap, and glued it in...
Unfortunately though my sheet styrene is too thick to be able to do that to both sides but not thick enough to cover up the hole on the bottom half...
So I filled in the hole with putty, it's deeper than I wanted it to be, but at least there is a bottom for the putty to sort of adhere to.
This is what both flaps look like, I needed to remove the tabs on the end, and the thing hanging off the side on the smaller flap.
In addition, where the flaps are now going to be, theres a bunch of empty holes that you can see where the tabs were inserted,
When I dry fitted the flaps on, you could see the holes, so I had to fill them with putty...
Here is one side of the flaps dry fitted, still have a lot of work left ahead on just the flaps, but the good news is after this there isn't to much to be done construction wise.
