Thanks y'all. I think this will be the perfect complement to the GTX-24 as featured in the sites banner. (Hope our glorious leader don't get jealous ;D)
Frankly, even after doing the Hellcat/Typhoon bash it never occurred to me to give the same Vulture 24 cylinder x engine treatment to a Corsair.
Just another reason Profilers are so important to our hobby. :-*

Nice start!  Hope it goes smoothly with the build and your PSR is kept to a minimum :)

Thanks all y'all :-* Here is progress so far.
Got the new engine and wings on in preparation for blending the nose. I also installed the big cannons in the wings.

I just love the added wing cannons. You can never have too much firepower.

Thank you my brother :-*
 Here she is even more blendyfied






I think she is lookin pretty and can't wait to get her into primer. Tomorrow I have to move again, 13-15 hours depending on snow. Hopefully Sunday or Monday I will get to add the 24 exhaust stacks which will make her look even more sweet :)
