JOCKNEY Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 You have to love a Corsair, how much ordinance can you pack onto one aircraft ! Cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collin Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I’m building the 1/72 scale version of the same kit. It’s actually been a pretty pain free build so far, assume the 1/48 is just scaled up and builds up just as nice. Granted the intake is a little mis-shaped, but no kit is perfect. Looking forward to seeing that Greek paint scheme!! Cheers Collin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex77 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Airbrushing is done, clear coat so almost ready for decalling. 20190324_180242 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 20190324_180251 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Fresh and clean like a brand new one. The decals will give this one a sense of identity and make a big difference to how it looks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex77 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Thanks guys! Decalling done and did some panelwash. Not sure if it is dark enough. 20190402_203644 by Lex de Kort, on Flickr 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbudde Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hello, just came across this. Looks very nice. Always liked the Cosair II in almost any scheme I saw. The question is, if you like it more clean or more used and worn. I'm mediocre on that. For me a bit more, but less can be more sometimes in scale.

Col. Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 It looks fine to me. Viewed it in isolation first then found some photos of the real machines to compare and it still looks fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almac Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 That is one very nice Corsair. Just had a quick look through the WIP and you have done a top job. In my opinion the panel lines are just right, too many models are spoiled by unrealistic highlighting of every line. The 48th kit looks like a bigger version of the 72nd which I have started in the A-7a version and will hopefully finish after this GB.

bar side Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Nice. There was one that came to a Mildenhall Airfete years ago. Found some pics on line a while back i vaguely remember seeing it. Yours looks great - very nice build. i did another A-7 that came to a Mildenhall show. An A-7D from an ESCI 1/48 kit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
