George72 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Hello, This is my Corsair, a well known and excellent kit from Tamiya. Everything OOB except for the masks for the canopy. No issues at all and the decals were really good. Hope you enjoy. Cheers! 32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Excellent classic early model F4U. I make no secret that the Corsair is a favourite of mine and that does it full justice. Just enough weathering too. Nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Excellent overall weathering, very realistic. I especially like the leaky panel in front of the cockpit. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikola Topalov Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Fantastic build of one of my favourite WWII birds. Brilliant color modulation and weathering! I love it! Do you by any chance have a work in progress thread? Thanks for sharing. Best, Nikola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it! Do you by any chance have a work in progress thread? Thanks for sharing. Best, Nikola Thank you! Unfortunately, I don't record much(read, almost nothing) during my builds. But, if it helps, I've followed this sequence: black primer basing, then dual layer chipping (check Doogsmodels site out, the guy is a master) using yellow zinc chromate paint. After that, always lightly sanding after each layer, applied the main colors(freehand). Decals, some post shading to clear some areas and washing with Flory Models products. Finally, weathering with oils and pastels, trying to be as real as possible, that is, avoiding simetry and excess. To seal everything, the final matt varnish. All paints used were Aqueous Gunze. 6 hours ago, Sharknose said: I'm starting to fall out with a lot of people on here, you're far too good at this! 😀 Fantastic paint job that mate. Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you very much George! Appreciated! Dual layer chipping is great although not that easy to control, at least not for me yet. I used it on my ''return to hobby'' model, also an F4U, although 1/72, and on a 1/48 Ju87. Afterwards I watched Doogs and hope to get it even better next time after seeing his work as well.
