I was inspired to build a “well used” Corsair after following @Dansk’s excellent Birdcage, his build gave me the notion to try multi-layer chipping and to portray both zinc chromate and salmon pink primer, I’m reasonably sure that salmon pink primer would have ceased being used before this version of F4U?
Here are the photos…
You can see my build log here…
there you’ll be able to see the help and encouragement from numerous forum members who I owe a huge debt of gratitude to
until next time
as always, any suggestions, criticisms or comments will be gratefully received.
