Seamus 3,070 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Morning all, After a little break I've been back at the bench recently and have completed build number 17 for the year, Tamiya's superb 1/72 F4U-1D Corsair, finished as a Royal Navy Mk IV using markings from an Xtradecal sheet. Paints as usual are Hataka Orange Line. Made a bit of a mess of the canopy, and it may not be 100% accurate for a FAA Corsair, but it was at least good practice in clipping the wings for future FAA builds.

GrzeM 679 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Your build is excellent, but was the original airplane in satin/matt finish? Maybe coat of glossy clear would make him better? Link to post Share on other sites
