Thanks guys! I might be able to get some pictures up later, I'm not sure. Basic construction is finished, minus the canopy and propeller, and I'm going to start decals in the morning.
And good to see you back Wojtek!

Wurger: No, it certainly isn't, but I'm glad you had some reading material!
Thank you! And yes I do, it's much easier than trying to tape stuff off at the end. With single colour planes (like later war Corsairs) I build, then paint.
Most of the decals are on, I'll need to adjust the flag on the tail before I put it on, but I don't feel like fighint with it right now. I used some old C-47 roundels, some Tiger I numbers I believe, and then the rest are kit. It's not really completely accurate, but it's close, and it's what I could scrounge. Sadly the roundels have some white around the edges, but I can't really fix that now. All in all, I think it turned out pretty well.
There's one more, but it's not uploading for some reason...

Well guys, she's completed! It was a great build, went together without a hitch, and I'd certainly build that kit again! There were 3 others at the store...
I'm sad to see her go, but I think my teacher will love it! Probably the best end result of a model I've ever gotten. Oh and Les, when I took the picture of the bottom, I realized I forgot to stress her!
And my favorite view of the Corsair:
Thanks for the comments and looking guys!
