I tried both the sites you suggested. No go. I can't find the etched cockpit details anywhere. You would think someone would have them. This is driving me bonkers. At last resort I'll just have to dry brush the detail on the instrument panel. Thanks!

Hi Njaco, Question. I have alway purchased Tamiya models since they seem the fit together the best. I know a lot has changed since I returned to modeling after 27 years given my career an all but what kit besides Tamiya do you think are comparable? I generally shy away from Monogram and such...

I'm looking for photo-etched parts for the F4U-1A Corsair. The only ones, so far, that I have been able to locate is at "Super-Hobby" but they only have photo-etched parts for the F4U-1. Would the parts from the F4U-1 be compatible with the F4U-1A? If not, would anyone know where I can located...

Does anyone know where I get photo etched "seat belts" for this thing. It comes with a pilot wearing seat belts but I don't like putting pilots in aircraft. (Just a personal preference). I've search the web for places that sell photo etched parts but I can't seem to find any for this particular...

Great job Wayne! I hope I can do as well.

Greetings folks, Thanks for the funny comments, the belated greetings and the dire warnings. I did happen to see a "closed thread" where some bloke, a recent escapee from an insane asylum, went berserk on this forum and created all kinds of havoc. I will assume he/she went off their meds. The...

I'm in kind of a tough spot. I'm working on the Black Widow and I made some errors in judgement. I glued the fuselage prior to painting but in some cases I had to like the cockpit however, it's so detailed that I had to detail it before it was inserted into the fuselage. I have cannon protruding...

What else can one say! If you will oblige me I have one other F 4U Corsair. Gwaredd Cymru am byth!

You might wish to check out my photo album. I have some photos I shot using a tripod and camera and they seemed to have turned out fairly well. I plan on uploading more. The airbrush work is done by the great Japanese artist Rikyu Watanabe. They are perfect from colours to markings. Cheerio...

Greetings, I've only been a member for a few days and already I believe that this is the best forum going. Not necessarily because it's devoted to WWII Aerocraft, although thats very important to me, but because of the great folks on this site. Of all the posts I've read I have not found one...

Helô Vaughn, Thanks mate this is just what I was looking for. I bookmarked the site so it looks like I'm all set. Cheerio! Gwaredd Cymru am byth!

Oh well, that's different. So I'm assuming the blokes from down-under think you have a funny American accent. No, I don't get into the N&S debate either unless someone brings it up then it's full steam ahead. Gwaredd

Posted twice. Sorry! :oops:

Well, you make some good points. However, England was ready to support the South but Davis sent two of the worst negotiators possible. They completely turned-off the PM and he wouldn't even see them any longer. Slavery only became a "big issue" after the Northern Copperheads got their hands into...
