Anybody else scratch building tonight?

Not a scratch build, but I just finished a quicky MS Corsair to go out and beat up. I did the detachable wing mod plus some 3D printed add-ons, but spent the most time taping off the tail for the checkerboard pattern. The rockets are held on by magnets are just for show- I don't think they would survive a belly landing. The canopy is from a Dynam Corsair and is just a hair too big- it sort of reminds me of one of those cartoon warbird designs that are so popular right now.

That is absolutely peak. Even out of the FT kit, it's still a masterpiece

Thanks! Its the original Overstreet design. Somewhere else on the forum someone shared the link to Pacon Water-Resistant Foamboard, which is what this one is made from. I can get free shipping in the PNW and I think it's better foamboard than the white Maker Foam stuff from FT.

So I found a wing from a guinea pig today. I had completely forgotten about it since FF24 when I had found it in the trash. I have previously tried to make it an asymmetric style airplane, but it was a little too asymmetric. What do you guys think?

This was made in 2024. I still have all the pieces.
