My plan is to outline the wheel bays with fuselage color(White) and leave the bays dark gray. Rudders sanded ready for silkspan. Tailhook made.

L/G filled and painted. Tailhook housing installed.

I like it! This is the fun stuff! And that finish - smooth.

great detailing poppy!

That is looking fantastic poppy! Very well done!

I thought you might like to see the 'beefed" up gear before fill and paint. Closest to scale I can get.

Fuselage not covered with silkspan. 3 coats primer, sanding between each.

Try Amazon. I bought Midwest balsa sheets from them and all of them are excellent wood.

Brian, I don't think so. Try Midwest Balsa or Midwest Products.

don, does squadron carry balsa sticks in 3/16" up to 1/2" ? brian.

Thanks,David. That's great. Message sent. And thanks to Julnik too and Brian. Brian, Tower has basically the same stuff as Squadron. On a slightly different note, I copied the plans and printwood from the kit Poppy sent me and went from there. Don't know if that qualifies as "scratch built", but if anyone wants a copy of the plans or the kit itself, let me know.

Thanks, julnick.

David, thanks a lot in advance for the front wheels. Will save me a trip across Dallas to hobby shop. You are a gentleman!!

Fantastic poppy!!

Poppy, I can furnish the front wheels, same as I just put on the Pilatus Porter and Don I can furnish 1" wheels for an Avenger which will work just fine. These were cast for me by Julnick and will require drilling a hole for the axle. Don I no longer have your email address so if you have mine shoot me your address.

maybe tower hobbies>
Don C, Comment for image # 3473206 Oct 15 17:21
Where is a good place to look for wheels? Can't seem to find any 1" at Squadron that look correct for the Corsair
poppy, Comment for image # 3473206 Oct 15 17:15
1 1/4" main and 1" front wheels.
David Duckett, Comment for image # 3473206 Oct 15 16:25
Nice!! What size wheels are called for?
