Hi everyone,
Been lurking on and off of theRPF for years. and can't find my old account.
Anyways, last night I started on a new project. Hopefully I'll finish it.
My dad and I went down to the LHS on Saturday for Father's day. I ended up walking out with 4 WWII models. 1/48th scale Mitsubishi Zero, 1/48th scale P-38 Lightning and a 1/48th scale Tamiya F4U Corsair missing the wings. I also purchased a 1/72nd scale Airfix Mitsubishi Zero.
I wanted to do a steampunk spaceship and the Corsair is going to be the starting point. So far, I have the body of the Corsair along with the engine, cowling, and cockpit. It's missing the canopy but that's only 50 cents to order from Tamiya. But's its going to take 4-6 weeks to get here which I don't see being a problem. I also dug out a 1/720th scale revell Turpitz WWII battleship. Wanted to steal some turrets from it and noticed that a lot of other parts from it will make great greeblies (is that the right terms/spelling?). And finally I have some engine nacelles from a 1/48th scale A-10 Warthog.
Need to paint the cockpit first before I can do much more but I spent a few hours thinking about how things would fit together and made some minor modifications to accommodate.
