RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair
Hopefully not firewood!
While I can't see the internal damage, It doesn't look that bad.
I have a friend that would take that out of a burning fire and have it flying again because he likes to save stuff.
At least two of his "Garbage can planes" have flown at Top Gun.
If it was stripped down and you looked at the framing that is left, you woud say its mostly done.
Most of it need not even be stripped
A fix here and there and recover it. A lot less work than a new kit! Then all back together again.
Time, patience, skill, and work. (Epoxy, CA, Glass cloth, wood and paint help as well)
Get er' done!
