Airfix 1/48 F4U-1A Corsair


Recommended Posts

Built for the FAA/RNAS GB over the pond on the ATF, in FAA Colours:

Overall, an enjoyable build. It was a good chance to apply some new techniques like preshading and using Flat Base to weather it down a bit.

Cheers,

Wow, that is flat, lovely. The panel lines are beautifully restrained (in my opinion) – have you done anything at all to them or is just the lighting that keeps them subdued?

Thanks Nick. The panel lines where done with a light wash of my Burnt Umber/Dark Grey/Washing up Liquid mix but I tried to keep them quite subtle. The panel lines seem quite fine so I suppose this helped.

Cheers,

Owen
