Antti_K Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Very, very nice Corsairs there! Excellent work. I prefer the Aeronavale version (I'm building one myself) but to my eye the finishing of the "Birdcage" looks stunning. So I like them both🙂 Cheers, Antti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Joyce Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 You nailed the finish and weathering, and those aerials look great (I always notice them since I usually muck mine up). Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Very nice job on both, but I especially like what you did on your birdcage, especially the wear and tear and weathering on the undersides! Very subtle and realistic. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangor Lad Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Great build and a finish to match. I like this scheme on the Corsair. Another model I will have to build! 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epeeman Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Lovely work on your Corsair, mate - Well done on being more subtle with your weathering - you bird looks much better for it in my eyes. Regards Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Gorgeous cockpit. I always take notice of those things. The wear-down-to-chromate green on the upper inner wing surfaces is most believable. Weathering overall looks very good. A build to be most proud of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lancaster Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Beautiful finish on the birdcage! The weathering is really well executed, I especially like the streaking of various fluids from the the cowling! 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Great looking Corsair! 😀 Well done for sure; and that headrest is the best representation of worn leather that I've seen yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Lovely work, the finished effect is very convincing. The Aeronavale bird looks great too. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
