| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 12-May-08 11:27 |  | | Views : 666 | | I think 5 fillings and sandingings should get the results I am looking for. |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 12-May-08 11:25 |  | | Views : 569 | | The fuse after the third filling and sanding. |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 11-May-08 20:39 |  | | Views : 598 | | Mearuring stick, AKA, ruler, pins, and glue. I can check the garden, drink a glass of Carlo and the tail will dry just fine! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 11-May-08 20:26 |  | | Views : 647 | | Building off of the pit, the rare cardboard holds the stab in place while the glue dries...off to check the garden! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 11-May-08 18:45 |  | | Views : 618 | | Taking the extra time to try to construct the fuse as accurate as possible will save finishing time....I hope! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 11-May-08 18:43 |  | | Views : 580 | | Second sanding. The slow,but necessary process continues. The Fin is permanently mounted. The time required to produce quality is extended by the magnitude of this bird! |

| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 09-May-08 15:48 |  | | Views : 587 | | Dry fit , with measuring sticks, to make sure things are square. Never glue and paste, trusting your eyes! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 09-May-08 13:27 |  | | Views : 603 | | The right side neede more work, more pieces. With some tlc, sanding and filler, me thinks it will be just fine...and it is STRAIGHT! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 09-May-08 13:24 |  | | Views : 607 | | Rain today so the attention turns to the Corsair. The fuse bottom is covered. Like fitting a puzzle together, the damaged wood, with some custum pieces worked! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 07-May-08 17:04 |  | | Views : 662 | | No construction today...soil reconditioning! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 04-May-08 20:10 |  | | Views : 693 | | I pieced the left bottom to a point where I can finish it. Tomorrow the "Udder" side! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 04-May-08 17:48 |  | | Views : 842 | | This shows what the beast is like. Unfortunately the only damaged wood in the old kit are the two most critical pieces, The preshaped balsa to cover the bottom of the fuse. The engineering dept. is pondering the dilemma and will make a decision tomorro |
