    I had to take a two-week break due to problems while I am building another super detail model. I needed a simple and beautiful kit that I could build in those two weeks; and I chose this. Let me point out, this model and the video were finished in two weeks :) It has nothing to do with any other video or channel. Lots of navy aircraft videos will come later. Thanks for watching!

      It's a funny coincidence really. Both Corsairs are beautiful builds with two different approaches.

    This is really an inspiring vid, as the unrelenting pressure to buy, buy, and buy more and more aftermarket products has become so overpowering (to me, anyway) over the years as to discourage many from even getting started. While they may be great products, the costs are well beyond many of us. Imagine a $125 model airplane! You've shown us that you don't have to go that route to enjoy the hobby and get great results! Many thanks.

    Congratulations on the beautiful creation. Can I add a challenge to your skill?
    Starting from the idea that hiding detailed parts is almost a crime: the cut of the fuselage at the inner edges of the cockpit to be able to show all the details at their maximum splendor ... naturally making sure that the cutted piece can then return to its place leaving the cut as less visible as possible. I don't think it's very easy and I can't tell you if you've already done it in the past years, in the last 3-4 I haven't lost a video of yours and I don't think I've seen it; if so, please tell me which video to see.
