Reini78 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 #28/2016 Corsario numero uno terminado. Tamiya kit with Aztec decals, Tamiya and Gunze paints, EZ Line for brake lines, plastic rod for antenna. According to fellow Hyperscaler/Britmodeller Marco, the wheel wells and landing gear were also painted in camo. Got that info to late so my dad kept them the way they were. The model shows one of the five El Salvadorian Corsairs that took part in the 100 Hours War or Soccer War between El Salvador and Honduras from 14th to 18th July 1969, the last time Corsairs went into battle. 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Schilhart Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Wo-hah, that is a real stunner. I never knew Corsairs flew with this camo pattern. Looks mighty cool, Reini! PS. I always thought "Soccer War" is when Germany plays Austria? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks that you are as busy as my dad Did you work with Aztec decals before? If not, my dad tried out several setting/softening products and for him Gunze Mr Mark Setter and Softer worked best with Aztec decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Thanks Reini. I have used them before but I have had varied results :(. Sometimes I get cracking and, in an early Sabre set, they completely disintegrated!!! I use Microsol and Microset. Do those work okay on and under enamel? I use Humbrol enamels and varnishes. Did you use the colours as specified by Aztec? I ask because many times they are wrong. Yours look bang on!!! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin My dad also uses mostly Microsol and set but only on acrylic paints, no enamels, so I can´t tell. No, diverted from the Aztec plan, chose the colours with "gut"feeling, used Tamiya XF-55 Deck Tan with a drop of black, Tamiya XF-61 Dark Green, the brighter green was a selfmix (my dad can´t tell the exact ingredients anymore) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildeSau75 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Great model Reini - the painting/weathering is really impressive. Has something very special the Corsair in this scheme - makes it look like another plane. Cheers, Michael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
