First off it looks awesome. Secondly I'm not really that up on the innards of the R-4360 as strange as that may sound. I have the maintenance manuals for the Super Corsair so I guess I could find out. Just for clarification the blue colored piping is induction and the brown is exhaust...

3 hours of work? You are one Speedy Gonzalez while at the same time making it look good. You are also the first individual I am aware of who built all 28 cylinders.

Heads Up I would have just edited the previous post but that might get missed. I remembered that F9 is where the engine mounts, so you will either have to remove part of it that would be exposed with a cowl panel removed or extend the engine block the length of the cowl flaps so it can mount...

Looking good so far except for one thing that's going to be a bit of a problem. Part F9 is glued to the inside of the cowl at the forward edge of the cowl flaps(see attached). With your plans to display the engine at least partially uncovered you may want to consider total removal of F9. It's...

Well I spent a couple hours last night getting the wing skins reworked for you. I still need to do a little work but I'm 95% there. In all the pictures I have ever seen of #74 I have never seen the wings folded. If you really want to you can do it. I have personally been to Bob Odegaards...

Yeah I'm the designer. I look forward to the 1/16 scale build. If there are any parts you want reference on I have about 1.7 gig worth on the Super Corsair on my hard drive. Includes the maintenance manuals and a whole ton of pictures. Since you are going whole hog on this thing let me do...

Excellent build so far! If you complete the model you'll be the first to do so that I know of. Looking forward to more.

Maybe some visual stimuli to wet your appetites.

For those who haven't seen my "Building the Super Corsair" thread I said that I will refund the purchase price to the first indivdual who submits photos of a completed build for use on the site. Also I have 1 preprinted kit that I printed out to check for problems (there are a few minor ones...

I can only tell you about Rhino which will do the job but while you're waiting start drawing him out in 2d cad side top front view etc then you will be ready when you pick out a program (assuming I guess that they are compatible).

I haven't even finished the design yet. Basically it's my concept of what a Super Corsiar would look like if it were modified for racing. It will be fairly simple compared to the other one (no engine, flaps, moveable control surfaces, or openable canopy) the only real option on it will be...

Well Paul I think some of the idea has merit like members donating models to be sold on the site and the proceeds go towards site upkeep. I have a project I've been working on and I think it might be a good candidate for for fundraising. Would anyone be interested if I donated this to the site...

I don't know that I like the idea of an exclusive section of the website. I frequently run into forums while researching planes that won't allow me in to certain areas and I hit the back button and steer clear of that site and I think there are a lot more like me who won't take the time to even...

Not quite sure this is the right category for this but I think it's something that needs to be addressed. In the thread regarding spam messages one of our admins stated that he used some of his own money and certainly a huge chunk of his own personal time for the upkeep of the site and I'm...

Looks like congrats are in order to Fluthercrank for his beautiful locomotive. Looking forward to seeing the trophy or whatever it is Steve.

I always liked that game and the devastator in particular. If I can be of any help let me know. Given your other very well done models I expect good things for your first plane. Good luck.

Hey Gearz, Are you desiging the airship or the planes or both?

I don't think I'll ever be converted from airplanes Barry but she sure has some pretty lines.

Looking at it objectively I think I have to vote for July 30-Aug 5 Milihistories Cutty Sark. It more than any other pic makes me say, "That's paper?!".
