Everything fit so snug it probably didn’t need the epoxy on the backside...
Not perfect but at 70mph it’ll do.
Sorry, no 3D files here. :)

Now that’s a weathered interior..!
Many years ago I liked building 1/48 scale models and decided to paint the entire model, to include national insignia and squadron markings. Decals were never as nice as paint.
This little Me262 is all paint.
Given such nice panel lines on the Corsair wings, I think it’s a shame to put a decal over them, perhaps I’ll just make stencils and spray all markings.
If I keep her factory fresh, I’ll need a pretty little WASP to pilot her.

Just let Warbird Charlie or Aros know and they'll take care of it.

There's always going to be some drag performance when gear is deployed but I don't really notice anything drastic.

I noticed a little drag and I'm pretty sure it's that big prop when you go to idle. Of course adding gear exacerbates the condition.

Two more flights this afternoon...My favorite new warbird by a long shot (not a surprise since the Corsair is probably my all-time favorite...A slight edge over the P-38 and P-51)...She slows down magnificently on approach with full flaps and like it was said above, you want to keep around 20% throttle to the flare. Each landing has been a greaser so far. One of those models that makes you look like you know what you're doing!

He gives a sob story that ranged from being a teenager living at home with no money to being poor and can't find a job in hopes he can trick or take advantage of the kindness that is prevalent in this hobby. He's a deceiver so just don't fall for anything he says. Don't know if it is the same guy you're referring to but sounds like it could be him.
