Here's my Tamiya
Corsair, not much is needed to be said about the kit since most of you know that
its really good. This was supposed to be a quick build but turned out not
to be one since I could'nt resist adding bits of detail here and there.

I basically added detail to
the engine using solder wire and cowl flaps actuators using styrene and
copper wire. The cockpit received a new throttle (among other
details) which I made again with bits of plastic and left over PE sprues, the seatbelts
are from an Eduard set. Wingfold wiring, tailwheel detail, landing
gear wiring an offset rudder and rear control surfaces are other more
items I modified. I also made a new pitot tube from a hypodermic
needle and stuck the end of the kit pitot tube to it. Decals are from the
kit.
Overall it was a fun
build. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
