Hobbyboss 1/72 Corsair 2 - Special paint job


Recommended Posts

brought this last year at the brampton show as something about the boxart picture spoke to me.  Crazily decided not to use the decals (except for the tigers on either side of the tail).  I used photocopies of the decals to make my own masks.  The orange of the tiger stripes and the blue on the rear fuselage were home mixes.  I am very pleased with how it came out. definately want to give some other special paint jobs a try.

Hi Pagey,

 

If you are able, I'd suggest you remove the nosewheel leg and rest it. It looks like Hobbyboss used a wrung machine without hydraulics when they set the mound designs. The nose needs to be raised significantly.  Just a though. Nevertheless, a very nice build. I - like many others - will remember seeing this machine at airshows at the time.
