Firewall and Exhaust Pipes Well I glued the forward part of the fuselage in the previous post and added the firewall and exhaust pipes. Closing in on that engine. Can't wait...

Front of Fuselage These are parts from page 6-47 , f1-f7 ,

Hmmmmm Looking forward to this.....

Nice Job Peter the model looks great, nice details , thanks for the link I will stick it in the pile. So many models so little time.

On with the glue up Peter thanks for commets. I love this plane. I think the wing roots are good looking as heck no Sexy is a better word.. I am inclined to build a stand for this to show it off as it should be, I will include that at the end of this build.

Send it on Willja First let me thank you for the design. I know that a lot of work goes into getting one of these things to buildable point. With that said. Send the military version on . I am sure I can figure it out. Repaint not a problem, You ok if I want to fold up the wing on one...

Fuselage buildup I am going to assume that the last post above this one must be the designer. I don't know that for sure. But it sounded like it. I am amazed that I will be the first to finish this. It looks like a great model, and so far not too many problems. I usally build in 1:16 scale but...

Paper Pilots Well here is a short sidetrack, will start another thread on this when done with model

Watercolor Penils Chris Make sure you have watercolor pencils and not just colored pencils. These are true watercolor mediums in the pencils. I dip the end in water and they paint just like a brush. In fact the color just flows onto the edges of the paper. Brand does make a difference.

Watercolor Penils Thanks Bulldog Jigs are essential to this build, there is a lot of flex when you are gluing up. The superglues get hard fast and hold the position. Chris I use Stabilo Aquatico 48 pencil set, costs a little bit of money but last forever. Sharpen points and dip in water...

Next step interior of cockpit This is interior details getting ready for assembly

Next stage Jigs I used a jig for alignment of parts and to add a little order to this.

Getting Started Here is the first sequence of parts that I cut out and assembled.

This is going to be a blow by blow kit build of Will Aldridge's 1:32 scale Goodyear F2G-1 Super Corsair. I am going to add enhancement details and will detail that when it takes place. If you have questions or want more detail in any area just post and I will try to accomadate. This kit came...

Museum Unbeliveable. I would not hesitate to give the card models to a museum. They are works of art and should be displayed. They are fun to make and I like looking at them, but that only lasts about a month. My friends like to look at them, but I think it is the beer that keeps them coming...

Thanks, I find myself building different parts over and over, good thing its paper and ink. But you are correct it gets better as you build. I do this for the challange. Too bad we don't have a museum or something we can send these off to.

Coloring Ron I used sketchup pro version 7 to make the model. I am using the paint part of this program. I used a texture that I had available on my computer that was part of a program called ChiefArchitect. The texture collection include images of Formica Chips. I am sure you can go to...

Yes they were soldered wires. The wire was stripped from 18 Gauge bell wire and then soldered and then painted. Yes the rails were a real bear, but the jigs go a long way for making it simple.

These are shots of the Conning Tower. I started the build here because it seemed to be the most insteresting and complicated part of the model. The hull is under way and I will post the finished model when complete. I have seen the other threads on this build, and as always stand in awe of the...

Unfolding I use a plugin called unfold. You have to explode the model to its components, and then seperate them. I then unfold them with the plugin. It is not automatic. After the unfolding I apply them to a flat surface and then I send them to layout. In layout I am able to scale them to...
