1/48 F4U-7 Corsair -Hasegawa


Recommended Posts

thank you!

 

as for the chipping, the whole model is primed with mr hobby 218, wich gives weak adhesion for paints applied on it.

then the dark sea blue is painted, and after drying, chipped with toothpick and blade.

Nice Corsair in Suez markings. It seems that the tail trim actuators were on the intrados and not on the extrados, on the AU7 and on the AU1. best regards.Ref Bert Kinzey D&S Vol 56 and Ailes de Gloire n°12.

Beautiful, wonderfully executed weathering. Looks utterly convincing. I enjoyed seeing your model so much I'm going straight back for another look.

Hi did you put any undercoat under the mr hobby 218 or did you spray the 218 straight onto the model?

My favorite postwar Corsair variant in my favorite markings! There used to be one of these in the same scheme that was very active on the airshow circuit back in the 70-80's, and I was able to get a lot of detail photos. Outstanding modeling, correct loadout, and you even displaced the servo tabs to match the elevator deflection- a little touch that is missed by many; I am impressed. Now you need an F4U-5NL to go with this one on your shelf! Wish we had a decent late Corsair in 1/72 scale, but happy for you 1/48 builders! I totally agree with the comments on your weathering and cockpit.

Carlos, 218 is sprayed right onto the plastic.

It turned to be that is was a fragile coat as it can disolve easily with enamel thinner.

 

Cheers !
