Great job so far, my friend @eb801!

Looking good, Eric. Looks like your close to major assembly work. Keep 'er going

Gluing the Big Parts
Back on the job after a week of family events. You can see the progress I made in these photos:

Above: fuselage and cockpit all buttoned up.

Above: Here's how the front office looks installed.

Above: Stabilizer closeup. Resin by Aires.

Above: And now the wings have been attached. Surprisingly, very good fit.

Some great extra work done, Eric @eb801
You are correct about the wings, I can confirm from my build that they do fit very nicely.

Superb Corsair Reference Magazine
Changing the subject just a bit, I used to subscribe to Flight Journal Magazine which is still around. Back in 2004 they published a special F4U Corsair issue which is a worthy companion to any Dana Bell or Bert Kinzey reference book. Chock full of articles written by former Corsair pilots, Great vintage photos as well as current ones by John Dibbs. Lots of Tom Tullis profiles, cockpit photos, book and movie reviews that feature F4Us. There's even a page praising Tamiya Corsair models. This issue is well worth obtaining and you can find it on Ebay dirt cheap. Or try Flight Journal online. Highly recommended. Here's a couple of sample pages:

Meanwhile...

There are some pretty nasty ejector marks on the the landing gear that are clearly visible. These need to be cleaned up. I plan on adding brake lines from stretched sprue.

Great reference, my friend @eb801! Indeed, some noticeable pin marks.

Louis @lgardner: I also have Flight Journal’s Hellcat special issue as well as the titles “B-17 Flying Fortress”, “P-40 Warhawk”, “German Fighters” and “Spitfire”. All worthy reference magazines.
