    Fuselage parts behind the cockpit mounted. The fit was really good.


    Frame element behind the fuselage window attached as well. The wheel wells need to get repainted in the correct color.

    @johnb - The corsair is coming along nicely as well John. I agree that the fit of basically every part on this kit is quite fantastic. I didn't need filler anywhere.

    @johnb - You sure have heaps of valuable Corsair information here thanks to Louis@lgardner. That whole thing about the salmon primer is new to me. Looks like you're really enjoying this build which is coming along quite nicely. Well done so far.
