@great choice again.
You'll be surprised at how unexpectedly well a Corsair flies.
Sometime last year, i'd posted a thread about a Corsair i resurrected.
If i can locate it, will send a link.
Best wishes.

First balsa plane build i guess :thumbsup:
Is this completely scratchbuild?

Subscribed sir.
Build planes like feathers rather than tanks, both handle bullets equally well.

@jana.f22,
Looking great.
Remember to sand all surfaces smooth before covering.
You can use
1. A long sanding block of wood or aluminium
2. Wrap fine sandpaper around a palm size piece of sponge

You can also consider giving the bare wood 1 or 2 thin coats of Touchwood (perhaps suggested earlier by Shobhit sir). Sand with the finest grit you can find, at least 320.

It would be nice if you mentioned the name of the designer and the plan source, to give them due credit.
Looking forward to video.
Regards.

Thank you rcnithesh, saja sir, kk Iyer sir.

@KK Iyer sir I will defently follow those ideas sir.

@kamalsahai sorry I completed the fuse didnt take much of the photos only have to sand it.

Super cowling!  :salute:

Can you tell us more about Best Practices for Decals adopted?

Ahh from RCM plans then Jana? Check for warps in the wing, in the pic the port wing looks warped especially the alignment of the aileron. When do we see it at the field?

Another idea for cowl, get hold of a suitable plastic bottle and cut it out for a perfectly uniform cowl. Paint it and you are done

@sanjai rai sir : Thank you sir, there nothing to practise just grabbing wat is available in the google.
@flyingboxcar : Yes captain RCM plans. it is not the warp its just one side of aileron pushrod is connected, and for cowl I had the idea of plastic bottle, but i thought of going along with the plan. I will be maidening it on next sunday.

completed the cowl and changed the decals.
