Thank you very much for your visits and comments.
As you mention
Andy, the challenges begin; and first we are going to solve those cracks in the gates of the landing gear.
On the right side of the photo (the left side of the plane), I have prepared the scene to apply the Tamiya putty, and on the other side for the paint test of Humbrol enamel with talc.
I realized that being able to remove the excess with a Q-tip moistened in Humbrol thinner, it was not necessary to mask, ... so I removed the tapes before I started.
Following
Wojtek's recommendation, I put tapes on the inside of the joints of the gates, to prevent the putty from falling into the inside of the wings.
This is in a first application of both techniques.
I was very cautious and careful to apply the putty of Tamiya, ... I am already seeing how complicated it will be to remove those surpluses without damaging the details that are very close !!
On the other hand "homemade" putty, could be applied with much more cleaning, ... is likely to require one more application, although I'm already thinking of doing it with Mr. Surfacer 1000 or 1200, or with Plastic Putty de Vallejo.
Well let 1 or 2 days rest the piece for safety ...
About the first pilot to pose on one of my planes since I came back to this, I've been thinking how.
First I started looking for all the pilots of my 10 previous planes, and see which one is more conducive to my Corsair.
The driver who brings the kit is lacking in detail and "life"
... so I already chose the pilot that included my Yak-3 and try to mount it to the Corsair.
It was necessary to use my Dremel to remove that surplus in the seat.
To the left arm I´ll intend to cut the elbow joint, to close the shape more and seem to turn to see and greet us in the middle of flight ...
Well, these are the 2 pieces, now I will work on the pilot and achieve the position I want ...
It's all for now, greetings.
