| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 11-May-08 18:45 |  | | Views : 980 | | Taking the extra time to try to construct the fuse as accurate as possible will save finishing time....I hope! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 11-May-08 18:43 |  | | Views : 956 | | Second sanding. The slow,but necessary process continues. The Fin is permanently mounted. The time required to produce quality is extended by the magnitude of this bird! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 09-May-08 15:48 |  | | Views : 931 | | Dry fit , with measuring sticks, to make sure things are square. Never glue and paste, trusting your eyes! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 09-May-08 13:27 |  | | Views : 935 | | The right side neede more work, more pieces. With some tlc, sanding and filler, me thinks it will be just fine...and it is STRAIGHT! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 09-May-08 13:24 |  | | Views : 945 | | Rain today so the attention turns to the Corsair. The fuse bottom is covered. Like fitting a puzzle together, the damaged wood, with some custum pieces worked! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 07-May-08 17:04 |  | | Views : 1061 | | No construction today...soil reconditioning! |

| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 04-May-08 20:10 |  | | Views : 1040 | | I pieced the left bottom to a point where I can finish it. Tomorrow the "Udder" side! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 04-May-08 17:48 |  | | Views : 1180 | | This shows what the beast is like. Unfortunately the only damaged wood in the old kit are the two most critical pieces, The preshaped balsa to cover the bottom of the fuse. The engineering dept. is pondering the dilemma and will make a decision tomorro |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 03-May-08 22:24 |  | | Views : 1041 | | Tiss all I could muster on a short 5 hr day. Now if the evil feline leaves the Corsair alone all will be well! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 03-May-08 20:44 |  | | Views : 1051 | | Misty, the evil one, awaits my departure for the day so he can attack his enemy again! |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 03-May-08 20:42 |  | | Views : 1047 | | The plan...totally comlete the fuse. Paint, feathers, detailing, etc. Then constuct the 5 ft. wing. The wing MUST be removable for transport. Please note the high tech fuse support stand. |
| John M Oshust | Top Flite F4U Corsair | Build | 03-May-08 20:39 |  | | Views : 1087 | | With most of the pit fabricated, my attention turns to the lower fuse. Note the EVIL one in the background. He tossed the fuse on the floor last night, and scattered about the fuse components. Cat reprimanded but still lives! |
