I'm building the Tamiya 1/32 Birdcage Corsair, ready for color coats, I want the finish to be well worn I have seen other builds online with heavy weathering in the wing root area some with just silver representing the metal beneath the camo, others a combination of zinc green or yellow primer and silver, my question: were the early Corsairs primed on all surfaces with "Salmon" including the wings or were the outer surfaces primed with a different primer? perhaps green or yellow? thanks for reading and thanks for all your help.

Forgive me for opening a can of worms....been searching here and the web for some "definitive" paints to use for my 1/32 Tamiya Corsair two tone camo...lots of opinions and lots of great looking builds out there. Some help with this would be much appreciated, the plane will be weathered.... Thanks Guys!!!

perfect thanks!!!

thanks! do you remember how you got in touch with the customer service?

me too... I'm in Utah, USA. How did you contact Tamiya bout replacement sprues? thanks!

I need to order a couple of replacement sprues for my 1/32 Birdcage Corsair, I was wondering how responsive Tamiya has been to those who have had to do the same.... THanks!

Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum...I was at the completion point of my Mig-29-9-19 when I dropped the front windscreen on the floor and rolled over it with my chair...smashed! does any one have a spare or know if it possible to get replacement sprues from GWH? along these same lines...Hows the 1/32 scale Trumpeter model of this jet? thanks Guys!!!

Building a 1/48 Mig-29SMT using MRP Lacquer/acrylic paints....any suggestions on an alternate gloss coat besides the manufactures?

I ordered $50 worth of stuff.....how can I search for something if I don't know it exist????

wow! I'm glad this thread was started I had no idea about this manufacture! If F5guy wants to post and make us aware of an excellent product I think that's great (F5guy knows more about modelling than I'll ever know...plus he's a good friend!) Thanks guys for posting!!! and the link to some great products! There I think I "wasted" enough broadband for today.......

Sounds like quality stuff do they do a lot of 1/48?

Anyone have this kit that they would be willing to part with? Thanks!

thanks, those are helpful

Building the 1/48 Mig-29 9-19(SMT), I'm looking for some good detail photos of the landing gear, or detailed build with landing gear plumbed....I've done the Google exercise and the search here, but not finding what I need. Your help would be appreciated! thanks, KEB

Love that scheme and colors...thanks
