    I left the chair in to give scale…..
    I have some paint masks on order….don’t want to manually mask that glasshouse……
    It’s been on the shelf for a good few years, so I was very pleased when I opened the box and found these…..

    Can’t hurt can they…..it’s going to be the most complex aircraft I’ve built so far, wingfold and all……
    Looks good......and big Tim. Will love to see the wings folded up!

      It’s big, but not overly so, a fourteen inch wingspan, hence folding one so it fits in the cabinet……..mind you, the one at Yeovilton is pretty impressive…..dwarfs everything around it.

        There was one on the tables at the last show I was at, even at 1/48 it's big.

                Another change of plan, Tamiya Corsair falls together a bit quickly so opted for a meatier kit.

                            Schoolboy error alert.....
                            Whilst checking I had everything for my Dauntless I discovered that I've neglected to get a canopy mask set.
                            My question is...... The only ones that I can find are for the Hasegawa kit,do you think they'll be ok for my Revell one?

                              Maybe it's time to learn how to do your own masks.........
                              I'm sure if you ask you'll get more options than in a box of Quality Street.

                                ....or brush paint them.

                                Then you won't need to mask anything!
