WIP: 1/72 Tamiya F4U-1D


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I'm currently building a 1/72 Corsair by Tamiya & applying all paint with the hairy stick.

Will be doing my -1D in the tri colour scheme like above.

Interior painted interior green (Vallejo 'Flat Yellow' & 'Flat Green' in a 2:1 ratio) & sidewall detail painted black.

Seat & rear bulkhead painted

Rudder pedals have been drybrushed with aluminium paint to simulate chipping.

Cockpit side & instrument panels have been glued together & painted.

The reason the control stick looks wonky is because I accidentally snapped the thin rear section & accidentally cut off the handle in my rushed attempt to get it off. Glued them both back on fortunately.

Gunsight painted

 

Everything would receive a few more coats of paint & some weathering before they can be called done. The instrument panel & sidewall detail would get picked out before assembly [obviously].

Some sink marks were in main landing gear legs. Putty to the rescue!
