Outstanding! That diorama looks fantastic and the Corsair is simply stunning. That weathering looks spot on.
I noted your issue with the VA Glossy Sea Blue. If I may, that colour is not for the 3 tone USN scheme but rather used on its own as GSB overall found later in the war.
The colour for the 3 tone scheme you've depicted should be USN Non Specular Sea Blue, if memory serves me correctly.
Might help explain why you weren't happy with it to start with.
That aside, it certainly hasn't stood in your way. Those colours, and your finish, look superb!
I don't think I've ever seen a 1/72 Corsair as good anywhere.
Congratulations on the build and on your diorama too. Not easy to pull off convincingly in 1/72 but you've gone and done it. I had to check twice!
Kind regards,
