shockwave Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) Hi guys, Decided to have an easy kit on the go while getting through my first helo build, and what a great kit this is! It's been said so many times, so I'll just show the pics. Here's my first wash application, used Promodeller's wash and I quite like the look of wells nice and dirty. Wish GS Aqueous had more gloss colours, not just semi-gloss, their interior green sprays on beautifully smooth. I'll take some pics when the pit's detailed and before shutting it all up. Thanks for looking. :) Edited November 27, 2008 by shockwave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kellyF15 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I'm looking forward to following this one, I just finished up a -5, and I have a -1D in work. Maybe I can catch a few pointers from watching your progress. I did cheat a little and start out with the Eduard pre colored cockpit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Looking good - I love the finish with that gunze color too. You were smart to attach the tops of the wings first to get the easier join. The next time I get a Tamiya corsair going, I will do the same thing. Right now I am just applying the gloss to my -5N to get it ready for decals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaRiO FDZ Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Looking good so far! I could build this kit with my eyes closed. You're doing a great job, like the shade of green. Keep the pics coming!!! Take Care :lol: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StevenJ Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I look forward to this one. I think, I'm not positive, but I think the interiors on the birdcage Corsairs were all black. If this is something that you care about you might want to look into it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shockwave Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys. CorsairMan, yeah I got that tip from Brewer's build. :) StevenJ, I read that also. There was an article here somewhere about all the WWII interior colors, and it was either interior green or black according to the time frame IIRC, so I just stuck with green. ;) With my limited skill level I'm actually more worried about how the seams are gonna turn out... :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shockwave Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 Bit more work done, pit's almost there and then the fuselage will go together. Engine is also almost done, some flat black and dry-brushed with MM jet exhaust enamel. It's all I had, but I'm pretty happy with the effect. Thanks for looking!

shockwave Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Nice work so far Ricardo.Regards Andrew Thanks Andrew, I'm really enjoying this one. Should have started on props sooner I think. It's what's keeping me sane in between building the Academy Apache! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
