Hi Michael:
you have been very busy, and every new model is an improvement over the previous one.
Congratulations.

ps: I prefer to stick to one scale for a collection, it seems that you prefer 1/100.
For any metric borne modeler is the ideal.
But this is a hobby so enjoy what you want, and also this is a learning process.
Have a very prosperous 2018.

Another good job, Michael!

It looks like a Corsair. That's an old joke among those of us who have been here for the past ten years or so. In June 2007, there was a discussion about Malcolm hood canopies for Mustangs and their similarity to those on certain marks of North American Mustangs. The conversation got a little confusing, and then Yankee Boy [aka Member 3] posted this: http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/5421-post24.html After that, whenever someone would post a "What is it?" image, someone would post: "it looks like a Corsair."

But your model really DOES look like a Corsair, and a very nicely made one.

Nice kit.

And a well-done model.

Very nice build. I really enjoy when I saw another modeler build my design. In 1/100 scale model is small, I suggest that you need a little bit more thin paper than you use in this corsair :-)
