Wonder how the engine from the Skyraider would look on the Corsair?  Just a slight increase in displacement and you could use the Skyraider propeller too :)

Evening Gents! A little more progress on the Bearsair, and an addition to the bench, a Marine Cobra. I got this little buzzsaw for a rather nice price and decided that's what I need to clease the plalate as it were. :)

The wings are not installed yet because of some minor fit issues, but this is the direction of the look of the aircraft.



The Cobra as it sit right now. I've been mezmorized by it and can not stop working on it. I think the final paint scheme will be pleasing and will also be an honor to our Marine friends out there.  :)



Having to shim the cockpit sill a bit , but no real hiccups so far...

Bearsair looks very promising.
Be one to put in line up of prop fighters at model show.  Stand back and see who notices.

Man that Bearsair is starting to really come together!

I've got a feeling this is going to be one of my favorites.

Nice work, Eddie!

Alrighty then....

Jusy for fun, I added an Academy 1/72 Wildcat to the fray...

Though the cockpit is nearly void of detail, I added just a bit because I was bored with watching paint dry and looking for a Cobra part that fell into a blackhole, which has since returned on the other side of the univ.. I mean bench.





....somemore work on the Bearsair. It can be seen where I had to provide space to conform to the Corsair fuselage,



After gluing and sanding and adding some bits here and there.



All my Cats as they are now..

Wow! That's quite an air wing you've got on the bench there, Eddie!

Looks like you're having an absolute blast!

More work that has crossed my bench recently. Someo f it in progress, near completion and maybe one finish. either way, I've tried to stay busy doing the things that may never get done tomorrow....

A recent idea from BdaB's radial build. My SBDC



the other projects....







This is a B-58 engine that I'm making into a parasite fighter for a canard B29.

What you are doing with Dauntless is so right on and the parasite fighter is a bashers inspiration :)
What scale B-58 is engine from?

These are looking great Eddie  :) SBDC looks like a serious warplane.

Whats going on with the Phantoms and (masked and ready to be painted?) A-7?

Thanks for the reminder about the Cobra. My Girl joined the MCROTC at school. Doing very well in all the activities. So this might be a gift to her when she finishes her first year.

I'm painting the Cobra in the colors of the Dress Blues ( Black, blues, white, red, gold). I'm thinking it's gonna look real sharp. Painting is hit and miss right now. I paint outside and sometimes when it's too cold, I have to wait. Sooooo.... that means pix coming soon... :)

The B-58 engine is 1/48. I've got a B-58 partially built with 3 engines set up in a pattern a la the DC-10 to finish someday....

I'd also like to add the the Phantoms are in slow projects. I got them this far, because it makes the finish less time intensive. In other words. One can never have too many Phantoms in progess. Ya never know when the urge to build a Rhino tootsweet will take hold.... 8)
