Nicely done Brian, are those kit figures or after market? Both look great.

Pilot is from the Tamiya Moto Tug kit and wing wlaker is a modified crew man from the Monogram bomber a/c

Nice clean build! Looks great.

Nice looking diorama, those figures (especially the pilot) look terrific! I was wondering what colour is the PSP, a rather worn metal or some grey(ish) metal? I have one to paint and have no idea where to go with it
Tom Cleaver said on June 12, 2020
The PSP was actually painted Olive Drab at the factory. It would quickly "ding,", collect dirt, oil spills etc. This is a diorama of the cleanest airfield in the Solomons. 🙂

No doubt about that Tom, thanks for the hint about the PSP colour, much appreciated!

The real stuff was also very heavy Pedro... @holzhamer
Each piece weighed close to 100 pounds ! My Dad had some sections of it. We used it to help move vehicles around when the yard was soaked from rain when I was a kid. The stuff is virtually indestructible...and very useful as a traction device for vehicles.

Really good Corsair. That pilot figure is most realistic.

A flawless build!

Very nice build, Brian.
Still have a very old Revell standing here in storage.
Hopefully I can bring it to live like yours.
Well done.

Great looking Corsair. Really liked the paint job and how the three lights came out on the underside of the wing.
Robert Knaack said on June 14, 2020
The bent-wing bird is my favorite, and your rendition is a beauty!
Louis Gardner said on June 15, 2020
The Corsair is my all time favorite plane and yours looks fantastic. Your builds always look great. Another masterpiece Brian. @f-104nut
