Peter Marshall Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Finished today, the nice Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair built as an RNZAF example using Ventura Decals, otherwise OOB with just a couple of bits of wire on the engine. Painted with Gunze,then weathered with True-Earth products, Mig Oil washes, AK Interactive potions and Mig and AK Pigments to try and get the 'i've lived in the Solomon Islands' look. I like how it's turned out, as the Ventura decal instructions state that the dark blue had faded to very close to the intermediate blue and to my eye that's how it's turned out.

Stryker Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Personally, other than the side decals needing weathering to match the rest of the plane, I ditto what the others have said Pete! Great job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjman792 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Outstanding work! The weathering is just spot-on - extremely realistic. I need to master the techniques you do so well when it comes to weathering and aging an aircraft's finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
