These old kits are great, but some of them are special, this is one of them....

 

They can be built into museum quality display of a modelers talents....

 

That is what we are seeing here....

 

Impressive work my friend.... I hope mine comes out as well...

Thankyou gentlemen.

 

I'm sure yours will turn out great, probably much better if I'm honest EG.😊

 

I did a dry fit of the canopy, and was surprised at how much could be seen, which after what I had to do getting the cockpit to fit in the fuselage is quite a relief.

Well, I'm going to call this finished. 

Placing the decals was done, canopy fitted,  and the aerial cable being the final job20221118_212236.thumb.jpg.d2de1aed8f1466a7550f1de226ce9588.jpg

And finally a view through the canopy 20221118_212720.thumb.jpg.52900749e87a704df784846ad86ad0d4.jpg

Thanks to everyone who's followed this build, it's been greatly appreciated. 

If ever I go with aftermarket parts again, I'll be sure to get the appropriate kit designed parts. The cockpit was a real bear to get to fit!

Anyhow, it's on to the next one soon.

Cheers.

Very nice result with the Corsair, Edward. I like the color rendition of the tri tone scheme, fits perfect.
