Sebastian Lachowicz Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Hello! I start to build characteristic model of Corsair. I found one photo and advanced workshop on polish forum. I try to make some of that. Revell's model is quite detailed, but parts are not very good mismatched. Model is used to try make advanced weathering. I place some photos below. I finished at painting camouflage and preapring to make dirt, oil and surface scratch. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Excellent job on reproducing that extreme weathering! Regards, Jason 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Very impressive paint wear and tear. That engine is an absolute beauty! 👍👍 AW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestwulf Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I'm so glad Revell molded the Mk.II Corsair, fills a niche that's been missing forever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Yep, excellent work, especially the engine, it will be a pity cover it up. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Swindell Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Very nice job on the paintwork, but a pity you didn't pick up on the engine cooling gills and the rear fuselage vents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You for all good words. This model is for weathering training. To take bigger care about details I will use another, better model i.e. tamiya. I found few mistakes in this model. First - cooling flaps are too long, flaps have different shape in comparing to drawings, and there are missing fabric grooving on the wing ends. Also I had a little trouble with matching cowling at the top of fuselage and engine. Anyway, model is quite good, much better than old heller's/smer corsair. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Lachowicz Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Continue with chipping. Beetwen first and second layer of camouflage, I covered surface with MIG chipping fluid. Next I put some water on surface and rub with brush. It makes quite good effect. In some places I used brush moistened in Vallejo thinner, which react gently with gunze paint. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian Lachowicz Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) I made next steps with corsair. I made "sidewalk" on the wings and scratch it. Next, I made some dirt using oil paints for artists and prepare template for roundels on fuselage and wings and at this moment I was pleased with effects. At next step I used salt technique and it made a disaster. I'm not happy with dots, spots and stains on the fuselage. I will try to paint it and make effect again. Also, I have to make new template for markings, because it is very distorted now. If you have some ideas to help, describe that please.

Col. Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Given how well this project is going and your obvious skill I'm sure cutting a new set of masks for the P54 marking will not be a problem for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timski1 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Love how rough the plane looks, represents a real war bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Lachowicz Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Ok. I prepared new masks. I think it's a little bit better. Also, I made wash and more dirt and streaks by oil paints. Next step it will be warnish on upper surfaces. Next I will take care on bottom surface. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Much better Make it perfect and it'd look out of place so everything blends in well to my eye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian Lachowicz Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Almost finished. There are some mistakes. The propeller is incorrect, becauseI used F4U-1D model to make Corsair MkII- F4U-1A. There are some unplanned dirt and I haven't ideas for undersurface. Also I show You my firs Corsair which I made two years ago. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Looking great For the underside I'd say really dirty! Just to be in keeping with the state of the upper surfaces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
