Corsair kit. An ideal scratch builders project for an Astro 25 or 40, geared or direct drive..
Of course mine is missing a few parts. Like the sheet of full size plans; a few plywood fuselage frames, but the punched out sheets are there and could be used as a pattern for them. The foam wing cores are also missing and the building jig for holding the frames into their proper location during fuselage building. There are a few extra items included in the box: that wasn't supplied in the kit: a set of Robarts 3 1/2 diamond thread and lettered side walls; a Vortac scale droppable bom plus Vortac bomb racks; a fuel tank; a tub of K&B microballoons for forming fillets etc.
The model built form this kit would be 54"ws with 556 sq. in. of wing area and suitable for electric or Nitro power.
This is what a kit should contain.

Is the Jemco corsair kit still 4-sale?

ReplyDeleteI saw one lately for $ 200.00. I gave mine away when I found there were missing parts.
