Nemo remember the set I posted in the acquisition thread, you can also take the blame on this one too lol  Boots I'll try it with a simple dio base with crews, If Nemo teach how to do a controller that would be great  Boss TRM Chriss67 appreciated the inputs, however the decals that I have is the Sunliners V-81 USS forrestal, I'll be doing a Navy Plane in a tarmac, I could change decals but the only available here is Philippine Markings. Cheers to all

Thanks for all the supports, Guys!!! much appreciated started working on the base for the dio, and I would like to thanks to our local IPMS President for lending me his copy of the corsair. I would like to believe there's still a chance to improve the modeling community here., there's still a lot to work just don't ask me to convert the wings to a folding one lol  Thanks for checking ER |

Very nice ER!! Looks like you have a game plan there!! Great little scene you have planned!!!  |

Thanks T, but someone says the tractor is not accurate because the Navy didn't use it on a Naval Station more like a fire truck... told me the plane got an emergency landing |

...............  We are talking about a plastic truck in a Diorama...........and his point? I think it looks great buddy! Who's to say that thing didn't fall out the back of a C-135 and was commandeered?!! LoL!!! |

Post by eastrock on Nov 26, 2012 6:26:33 GMT -5

Nice! The Aires stuff really is superb. I have a bunch of it, used some of their ACES II seats in my F-15 Aggressor, they were lovely! Looking forward to you getting the pit installed! Cheers, Sam |

No question resin cockpit has more details... you did the right thing because it will be pretty visible once done.

Nemo - the details really pop out on the bird, still need to secure the fitting and canopy before I push on.
57 - Hi there thanks!!!
Sam - Hey no doubt about it the detail tell it all (first time to use a resin cockpit)
Andy - yes will do an open cockpit have to do some fittings first since kit has some mold issues
Happy Holidays!!!
