CorsairMan Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hey guys! Thought I would share in two builds at the same time. I am a corsair guy always looking for an excuse to build one. This one is the only bmf corsair that I know of: I am trying a new way to do a bmf before trying it on a bomber. So far I have a OOB build at the primer stage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Alclad on top of rubbed down primer. Nice shine too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CorsairMan Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hi all, this one is almost fully painted - ill do a gloss coat to seal everything in nicely and then do nav lights, formation lights, decals (ordered this week from Ventura) and a dark grey wash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hegedus Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 That looks pretty nice. If it were me, I'd reconsider an overall wash - the panel lines look pretty nice just as they are now; just the right amount of contrast IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lodni_k Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Very cool Corsair! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Some very helpful modelers pointed out the roundel issue in the drawing. So I got some accurate ones from xtradecal These are the best decals I've ever used BTW! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Oooh that looks good. And it doesn't even have baby drool on the wing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Ha ha! Nope, she just drools on her daddy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stevehnz Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'm liking this. Like the decals & like the different silvers for the different panel materials. You're onto a winner here, I'm looking forward to seeing it done. Steve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VG 33 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 This natural metal Corsair is really fantastic. You mastered the challenge. I think one day I will build the same aircraft. Thank you for sharing her. Patrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony in NZ Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Wow that is awesome mate! You never cease to amaze me with your workmanship. I reckon that would look awesome next to my postwar RNZAF FG-1D, Stunning Cheers Anthony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
