I knew it was too good to be true to have three perfect builds. Two of them need the usual attention, so it’s not an out of the ordinary nightmare build.
The Corsair has been the golden child build of the three. I sanded the seams and primed it yesterday. That was the extent of the effort needed. I’ll get the wings attached tonight and fill any gaps if need be.
The Banshee hasn’t been terrible. A few minor gaps left over from sanding and priming, but nothing serious. I also put the wings together last night. They have some issues to address now as well as later. I can foresee fitting issues. Once again, nothing too bad.
As for the Airacobra, it’s the worst of the three. The cockpit fit too wide which caused some gaps. I’m sure this was my error. I don’t think it will be too bad to fix. I’ll sand it down tonight and add another layer of filler.
Don’t know how you find the time for all of them, or the space to display them!
The Corsair has always been a favourite of mine. Something about it speaks to one.

I can’t always find the time but my theory is that if I do a little every day, eventually it will get done. Space is the real issue. When the shelves get full, I put them in storage containers to make room for the new ones.

Perhaps you should move into the garden shed and devote the house to them!

We are actually in the process of moving. A big room for my builds is a must.

It really does require a lot of skill to build these. A skilled builder can make them look perfect, but an onlooker may never know the amount of tears and blood (literally) that went into that perfect looking model. I’ve still got a tee-shirt from many past assemblies.

It also gets pricey. It is more than worth it to me. It’s all part of the challenge.
