I hope Dave doesn't kill me for stealing his thunder on this one, but I couldn't help but post something.

My Buddy Dave (Dave_ORCC on here) finally maidened his Giant Scale Corsair yesterday evening.

This maiden has been a long time coming, since Dave has been building this plane on and off for the last 4-5 years.

I hafta say, this plane has one of the most beautiful finishes I've ever seen. It's all airbrushed and done in Fleet Air Arm Colours. (afterall, it was the Brits who proved you could land one on a carrier )

Maiden went beatifully, although I must say, I think I could hear Dave's knees knocking together during the flight from where I was standing with the camera.
I can't wait until this one becomes a regular at the club!.

That's all I have to add for now... I'll let Dave fill in the rest of the details. Enjoy the pics... they really don't do the plane justice.

Congrats Dave!
Tom
