I figure I can play with it and try repainting the inside, adding some detail to the cylinders, etc. Making this thing removable was a really nice touch by MRC.Marc flies FW & FL: AL37, MiG-29, T45,F4, A4, A10, F104 70 and 90, P38, Dauntless SBD, Corsair, B17, B24, B26 & P61, Lipp.P19, ME262, Komets, Vampire, SeaVixen, FMS Tigercat, FOX Glider & Radian XL.

Ben has suffered an incredible loss of all his birds and supplies in his garage. He has helped us out many times, so lets help him!!! I am in for a 200.00 gift card! Who is with me??:Cool:
Shutting doors and leaving.

So last week my garage caved in during the -50 cold snap we had for a week in WI. I lost all my foam birds except the 1600 spit that I had in the house. A plane which I hate by the way. Insurance adjuster came today and of course none of the dozen birds I had are covered. So I have nothing to fly except this plane which I hate for more than one reason. Coupled with the fact that I was hoping to get into the new corsair and I see the price just went up 60 bucks. I am shutting it down. I have been priced out of the hobby and cant afford to rebuild my stable at all. This happened to me in Pinball to when all the yuppies came. The last batch of pilots are at my house for Todd and Dave and then thats that. I cant afford this anymore and its just to depressing to stick around. I am just defeated and crushed not only by the loss of my stuff but by the fact that I can no longer pay 460 bucks for a plane anymore. I have been with Motion almost since the beginning but I gotta call it.
Later folks!

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. :)

Detail, details.
Has anyone else noticed that the model is missing a Pitot tube on the left wing? We need to add that. Maybe a 3D part?
Also, from the Corsairs I have seen, the "step" in the right-side inboard flap is a hole that goes all the way through.
Easy to see in this pic of a F-4U I took a few years back at an airshow.
This bird has blue legs!
I haven't decided whether I should cut the flap step out on the model. What do you guys think? Maybe this was only on later models?

Very cool site but the minimum pricing bracket is $400 bucks...Hard to imagine shelling out nearly the same price for a cockpit kit as the plane itself! LOL :Scared::Thinking::Crying:
