Well, I finally got some colour on my Corsair. Got the big parts done, now to clean up the lines a bit with an airbrush then on to the finer details.

Things should progress a little more...

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Thanks Bob. I'm going to paint it to be a Royal Navy version, probably from the 1835 squadron. It won't be super accurate but close. From the start this is meant to be a test-bed to see how I like...

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Lot's of variables for this feeble brain to figure out. Finally after 3 weeks of tinkering got it to work out. The other side was done in about 2 days As you can see from the pics, it's a lot neater...

RE: GROUP BUILD - Top Flite Giant Scale F4U Corsair

Just about finished with the second gear door set-up. This one is much cleaner because I'm not going through so much experimentation. Fabbed up all the pieces, installed, filled the air tank and...

RE: Robart Retract Question - TF Corsair

Rob,

I don't have a ton of experience with the Robarts but, I just installed them in my GS TF Corsair. I think it is advisable to bleed the system between uses. I've got quick disconnects so...

Well, it's been a scary couple of weeks dealing with some family stuff here so I haven't gotten much done on the Corsair. I think Mom leaves the hospital tomorrow so I'll get back at it soon.

Wulf,

Nice clean install. Is there any kind of isolation mount in there? Does the Sachs not shake as much as a G62? Just curious.

Got the retract valve/servo and some plumbing installed....
