Kitchen Modeller Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Here’s my Tamiya Corsair in 1/48 An old but still great kit from Tamiya. I added rivets, resin wheels and few scratched up bits of detail. Painted with Mr color and weathered with oils. Used decals from eagle cal and wet transfers from hgw. Pe in the cockpit from Aires.

Model cobber Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 G'day John I think that is one of the best corsairs I have seen in 1/48. Your photography is excellent. I really like the perspective and angles that make it seem like we are looking up at a real aeroplane from a standing position on the airfield.

Rod bettencourt Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 That came out terrific! Really nice job on the scale effect. Put that in some natural lighting and would look 1:1. Thanks for sharing. Rod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 John……when I think of the F4U Corsair, this is what comes to mind for me. You continue to impress with these ongoing works of art!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger331 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Brilliant....brilliant. I do believe that is the best weathered colour scheme I have ever seen applied to the F4U Corsair. Well Done, Sir ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernestf Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Beautiful model ! I like the way u use different pre-shading in various areas, and the final paint work and weathering has been outstanding and impressive. I wish I can build one like this one day !!!

georgeusa Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I just finished looking at your Spitfire and marveled at how well you finished that model and figured it might be the best looking kit I see for awhile. Now there is this Corsair and it also makes my jaw drop in your painting and finishing of the Tamiya kit. Just tremendous what you have done. What a pair. I'm currently building the Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire and if it comes out half as good as yours, I will be a happy camper. Thanks for sharing both of these kits and your artistic work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
