I loved every minute of this kit Makes a huge difference doesn't it Paul. It shows how much you have been enjoying this build by how good a job you have done on it. The attention to detail and standard of your work is second to none mate and it is resulting in a fantastic model of a fantastic aircraft, and I know that it (and your ongoing 1/48 build) have had me looking around for more Corsairs to add to the stash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dansk Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 Thanks fellas. Taking a few images from @Dana Bell‘s excellent reference book for inspiration… …I’ve laid down some ak extreme metallic aluminium in areas I intend to chip away. these got covered with some cheap hairspray afterwards, whereupon next I’ll apply some salmon and yellow zc, then hairspray, then chip that away too before ‘real’ paint coats. i spent some energy sanding and refining this HUGE fella to hide the plastic joins, he also got the hairspray treatment over the metallic base prior to yellow (and upcoming black coats…) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 I’ve been building up layers of paint and hairspray, chipping some and then building up more. salmon and yellow zc primer, hairspray, and tones of blue and (underside) white have been utilized. the top cots of paint while be chipped next to reveal the different layers when ready. the underside has a way to go… 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortCummins Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 that upper colour(s) is very, very nice, you've managed to get the effect I always envisage and never get anywhere close to super paint! rgds John(shortCummins) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Same here, beautiful weathering job. My efforts usually result in either too little, or an aircraft that has been rescued from the fire dump! John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 That really is excellent work Paul. The way you have built up the layers of paint and primer is very effective and is going to look even better when you start to do some chipping and weathering. Absolutely superb work mate.👍 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSM07 Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Very impressive work. I’m building the same kit, just a little way behind where you are now. By the looks of it, are you using AK’s blue grey? Happy with the tone? I’m planning to use this paint, and wondered what you thought. Looks good in the photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good in the photos. it is AK blue grey, but it is so thinnly applied (maybe 80% MLT thinners) that the different colours and tones underneath really show through and affect it so it's not a true representation of the colour. but if you are to use it as is without transparency it looks like a good colour match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dansk Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 been masking and painting the walkways and some ‘insignae’ (is that a word?) recently… did some more work chipping the flaps too… i like all the layers in these and their assymetry… masking…. painting… did my best to match the blue. though it was best to lay this down first despite white being tricky to overlay. it prevents a halo of white, if white went down first - ask me how i know. Untitled by Paul Wilson, on Flickr gonna lay down white parts next and then chip and weather it all away 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 +1 on the painting. Looks very weathered without being overdone, really tricky to get the balance right but I’d say you have nailed it! Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
