    Hi All, I never knew Jim, but this is a great initiative. I seldom to never build aircraft, but I have this (i think) very old Hobby Craft example in my stash which I am keen to build for this group. I first need to get a few other projects off the bench, but hopefully I will get started in the next 6 weeks or so. First step is it is out of the cupboard!

    Thanks Spiros @fiveten. Not sure that it will be such a great entry. I looked through the kit at lunchtime and it is from 1994 (which is printed on the decal sheet), so it is an old kit at best and has very little detail. Anyway, I will give it a shot.

    A great entry, Rory @rory
    Although an old kit, I'm sure you will get a great Corsair out of it.

    Welcome to the GB Rory, that kit though dated, will still be a addition to the group.

    Thanks for the welcome to the group! Greg @gkittinger, not sure about brave...,it is the only one I have and ignorance goes a long way towards bad decisions...LOL. John @johnb and Tom @tom-bebout, I will do my best with what I have and it will give me the opportunity to try a few modifications as the kit is VERY basic to say the least. George @gblair, I may have to lean on you for advise seeing as you have a few in the stash. I am amazed at the depth of knowledge that all you gentlemen have regarding the specifics of your individual builds! Although I fly RC planes, I very seldom build plastic versions (race cars and bikes are my thing) so I may need to lean on the group members for guidance. Happy modeling.
