discussion Richard's TOON Corsair Tiger Models

Nice progress Richard ! :thumb2:
That masking looks like a pain but I'm sure it will spin great :smiling5:
Cheers, Steven

Hi Steven, thanks. Ya...this small fella consumed more masking tape than my Sea Hawk. :smiling6:

Early morning progress on Labour day. I am at least 7 hours ahead Greenwich time so have literally passed the deadline.



Nearly there...still with masking on for coat of varnish to seal the decals in.



Some would say this is finished but for me there is still the wingtip lights and weathering to go but for the GB I would say that's it done. I'll find the time later to continue and will spend the rest of the holiday catching up with TV programs that I have missed...hmmm let's see what's the latest in sports...premier league soccer...badminton, hockey, tennis?

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard stunning work and the modification well :thumb2:never seen it done on a egg plane before.
Sorry I missed most of your build mojo gone that's why Ian's been running the GB, I hope you enjoyed it and thank you for taking part, by the way it doesn't end until the 31st of May.

Oooh really Peter...so it's off to the work bench(hangar) then. Thanks for the comments. Apart from the modifications, it was an easy build. Because it's a snap fit kit the parts almost fit perfectly.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard
That is an excellent result. All your skill and experience thrown at a "toon" kit has made something quite special.

Thanks Jim, with discovering that the GB actually ends 31st of May I can take a slow stroll with the weathering. :tears-of-joy:

Cheers,
Richard

Promised to show a working propeller shot...here it is...



The little fella with some light wash and matted down.



Checking behind the ear whether it's washed properly



That's it all done. Will take it to Penang with me for the show there this end June and put it amongst the Toon builds section.
This has been quite enjoyable and challenging at the same time. This is the first GB here that I have finished way ahead of time. Thanks for the support and comments. I'll take some nicer shots for the completed section.

Cheers,
Richard

Indeed a little beauty Richard, so cool to have a working prop. :thumb2:

 

[rtfoe]

Thanks Fernando. I enjoyed this build because of the motor challenge. Just purchased more motors tinier than the one used here.

Cheers,
Richard
