Well. it's been almost a week since my last update so I thought I'd better show you guys the bit that I've been up to.
The starboard cockpit wall was painted, although the US radio line up will need to be removed and replaced with scratch-built British equipment that I'll add using the few reference photos around.
The port wall received the Eduard throttle quadrant and the flap actuator/indicator. I also cut and inserted a placard from a left over piece of PE.
On the left side of the instrument panel, I removed the molded in stubby throttle linkages and replaced these with stretched sprue. These were then cut to length to intersect the above throttle quadrant once the pit is assembled into the fuselage.
I also committed to displaying the wings unfolded, though I do like the details that Tamiya provided in the folds. I'll just have to get another Corsair and make the wings folded on that one. As shown earlier, the outer wing halves have already been glued together and, taking a tip from Dale's notebook, I aligned and mated the outer wings to the undersurface of the inner wings and set this aside to fully cure as shown below.
Once the above is ready, I'll flip it over and carefully align and glue in the top halves of the inner wings to ensure that the joint at the fold is flush.
Thanks for looking in guys.
