pascal JMW Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hi folks I didn" t have time to post any news for a couple of months because ........ the F4U-1 birdcage Tamiya 1/32 scale OBB ........now finish paint , gunze and tamiya , AK interactive wash , pigment AK interactive and tamiya , watercolor pencils , resin parachute true details , decals barracuda "MARINES DREAM" Bougainville 1943 First , I didn't plan on punting the shark mouth , actually half of it, as I didnt know anything about this half noz art on VMF 214 and VMF 222 Corsair.Second, I wasnt able to see any picture that could have prooved it, but the other side. At the end, I ordered the two volumes of Aircraft Picturial, based on Corsair.Volume 1 page 27, you can find a Marines Dream's picture with the wanted side , of the shark, on which you can clearly see the eye and the inscription, placed under the cockpit. At that time I could have it fixed in adding the noz art. I hope you like it .. Best regards Pascal 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Fantastic paintwork and I agree that it must be the best Tamiya Corsair that I`ve seen yet,........well done indeed! You could only have improved it more by putting roundels onto it! Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) The Corsair, my favourite WW2 fighter yet somehow I've avoided buying either of the Tamiya F4us. It's getting harder to resist on seeing models like this. Perfectly weathered too. I note in particular how you've correctly shown the back not the front of the propeller worn down to bare metal. A detail often missed. Brilliant work. Edited June 2, 2015 by noelh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyC Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 That's a brilliant effort - just as I have seen most of those Marine F4U's - weathering from those crushed coral runways, the sun and the general flogging they took against the Japanese - captured perfectly. I'm the same as Russ C - best one I've seen so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaky88 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 An amazing bould. It looks so realistic. May I ask what is the green-ish colour on the right wing near the fuselage? Cheers, Jaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
