Jeff @ Earl's Hobby Hangar Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Figured it was my turn to contribute some of my stuff after enjoying all the builds on here for so long. It's been a banner event anyway...I finished more than one model in a year, and at this rate, I may even have a TA-4J finished before long. Anyway, the first up is a Tamiya Birdcage Corsair. I love Tamiya's Corsairs, and this is the 4th or 5th I've built. I used Sky Models decals for 'Marine's Dream' since it's the unusual Blue-Grey over Light Gull Grey that was briefly used before the tricolor scheme took over. Next up is the Hasegawa Ki100 'Razorback' that I just finished. I started it about 18 months ago, and figured I had better finish it, since it's too nice of a kit to let languish in the 'to-do' pile... Decals are from AVI Print's 'B-29 Hunters' sheet. Hope you enjoy. All critiques are appreciated. Jeff Earl's Hobby Hangar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Kev Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Wonderful builds Jeff. I really like your weathering on the Corsair. My only other comment would be to reduce the size of your images; they're really too large for the forums as is. Kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GVoakes Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Fantastic builds! Quite like the faded paint look of the Corsair, and the exhaust staining on the Ki-100 is perfect! Also nice to see restrained chipping on the Ki100. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeff @ Earl's Hobby Hangar Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Oops. Guess I should have double-checked the post to see what the pics actually looked like. I've resized them, and hopefully they work better now. Thanks for the replies. As for the Ki100, the reference pictures I have found show either a lightly weathered, well-kept bird, or one that looks like what the cat dragged in...I went with the well-kept one this time.

CorsairMan Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Wow - that Corsair is making me jealous! Really nice finish and I also like that 2 toned paint that was used briefly. The canopies on both kits are very well done - I know its supposed to be 'simple' but I am never satisfied with my canopies. Well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
