I have added/replaced some exterior details. I added a fuel filler cap like many others have and a panel that hides a magnet in the hatch.
I will use the 3DP Mickey Mouse key (Magnet) to pull up the battery hatch. It has a .25 square magnet printed inside.
I also replaced the cowl 'dzus fasteners' strips which I thought were thick and the two on the sides were high.
With the 'checkers on the cowl ring, things are finally starting to look like a Corsair again.
I hope to get the bottom sprayed white this weekend and possibly even some color...well, I can only hope. .
So more when there is more.
Happy Independence Day (Treason Day to our British cousins) to all. Best, LB
Thanks,

Hah, thanks. It's the match to my old drafting table. I bought both from Cessna back in the mid-80's when they went to CAD instead of hand drafting. I still use the drafting table as my building bench. I need to take all the slop/play out of the chair, but the idea is sound. Best, LB

Looks good Elbee, I really like your 'Lazy Susan' repurposed swivel chair, never thought of that but I have some old swivel chairs I could do that with, great repurposing idea!

Corsair Crowd, Third coat of 'filler' primer, though yet to be wet-sanded, and the 'pebbles' are much less noticeable. Hoping this will be the last round. I am using a Krylon filler primer, I don't think it is as heavy as the Rust-Oleum filler primer and it goes down much more smoothly, so it might take another round. I know it will 'gator' some no matter what, but it's tough to not want a great finish for the first check flight and finish photos. More when there's more. Best, LB

Elbee, just re-read your sign off signature again: "You'll never be good at something unless you're willing to suck at it first." I Definitely got the last part down extremely well, just wonder when/if the first part will ever show up.

Outstanding LB. I marvel at your skill and patience. Two things I lack.

I do thank you for your continued interest in my Corsair build. Builds always take longer than I think and I enjoy the journey every time.
Priming the fuselage and getting her ready for paint is the next step.
More when there is more. Best, LB

Corsair Connoisseurs, finished checking all the boxes on the cowl ring. Looks pretty okay, I think. I do not believe I could have done this any other way, but someone out there probably knows an easier route. In any event, I am pleased with the outcome. More when there is more. Best, :LB

Thank you, Hugh. It was you and your original idea that got me to thinking it could be done. Yeah, it does look pretty slick in that picture. Best, Steve
