I know, I know... I just didn't have it in me to chop them off. Besides, I can just say it's a model of the Vintage Wings Of Canada bird. There. That's my story and i'm sticking to it!

Is that a thumb print on the cowling? I have noticed when I build models, I find all kinds of things in photographs I never see with the naked eye.

Ha! It sure looks like it. I'm always amazed at what photos end up showing.

Very nice job, Spooky.
Love those Tamiya Corsairs. Like Polystyrene Crack they are. I have one finished (as a Brewster F3A) and have 5 more (yes, 5) under construction in the pipeline now.
Thanks for posting!

Spooky,Real nice Tamiya Corsair. I doubt anyones really going to cut up a warbird and clip its wings,unless its a racer. I have a 1/48 Tamiya F4U-1D that I'm converting into Race #1. I've clipped the wings and have a plastic card firewall and wingspar. A-26 cowl,Skyraider prop and Sea Fury spinner. A P-51H spinner was also used on the real bird. I need a R-4360 for it.

Very nice! Are those the kit wheels or aftermarket replacements?
