It has definately been a work in progress. Over a three year period. Hard to believe my first post was on page #7, post #156. Man that was 152 pages ago!!!!!!! Well worth the build. Now I can concentrate on flying the P-47 and Sopwith Pup. I do know that the Byron Corsair keeps on getting my attention, when I go into the shop.

Craig






Craig,
tell me about it! My little bloke was only about 18 months old when I first stated the 47, he is nearly 6 now!!! Can not beleive how slack I have been on this build.


anyway my planes and trailer go back to the house tonight and will be moving most of my other crap over during the next week so should have my workshop set up again in 2 weeks then back into the 47.

Going to take the opportunity to paint the walls in the workshop while I have everything out though as it is currently a horrible duck egg green. ok under the belly of a mossie but not in the workshop!

Anyway stay tuned for progress. Hoping to also test fly the Vailly Sea Fury very soon too!

Now go build that Corsair!

cheers
Peter
