Rikywarbirds Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hi Friends, Happy new year for everyone. I start my Britmodeller this year with my last build (finished some months ago). The old mould but totally accurate to the todays standards of modelling manufacturers F4 Corsair in 1/48th by Tamiya. All is very well engineered as usual by Tamiya, the fit is superb. I added some rivets with my Trumpeter's riveting tool and also the Eduard Photo Etched extra parts to upgrade the bird. I added some extra scratch build to the cowling to simulate the mechanism to open or close the vent doors. It's a nice plane, and very cool for weathering. Also this kit from Tamiya has a very well detailed OOB cockpit. I hope you like it, Cheers Ricardo 52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coneheadff Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Awesome!!!!! How did you do the chipping? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikywarbirds Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Thanks guys. The chipping was made with a layer of xtreme metal, coat of chipping medium, green color, chipping medium, and a final camo color. Then scratch with a toothpick or old brush + water. Also some chipping color by small brush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
