"Skipper's Orchid" Corsair With Folding Wings

How do you guys feel about this model? I have it and would recommend it as something a little different. I wish they would make a folded wing version of a 3 tone paint job Corsair though - maybe Kepford's.

Re: "Skipper's Orchid" Corsair With Folding Wings

I have it lanslide and think it's a great model. I've heard several guys complain that the wings were a bugger to set up but mine was a breeze. Maybe it was a rare one where the wing tabs fit snugly. You make a good point for another scheme though and you'd think after Dragon went through the trouble of development they'd release more than one livery.

Re: "Skipper's Orchid" Corsair With Folding Wings

I have it, and like it quite a bit -- though I agree a more interesting paint scheme would help. Wonder if the return rate was too high on this first one for dragon to dare to do another?

It was a bit of a bugger to set up, but then again I'm in this hobby because my build skills aren't that great
