wingman47 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Haven't posted in awhile and my first 32scale in a long time. I stared it when it first was released not a quick build but one that I enjoyed. I added a ignition harness with brass wire and replaced the decals, the rest is from the box. I mixed the interior green and salmon color with gunze the black is modelmaster black chrome trim. I didn't like the deep look of the instruments with the decal on the back side on the clear insert. I sanded it on the front side and put the decals on the forward side and used expoxy for the lens. I painted it with Mr.Color for blue/gray and gunze for the light gray. The decals are EagleCals EC#151, it did not want to snug down. The worn paint on the wings was first painted with alclad then green and blue/gray. I then used a cotton swab and alcohol to rub it out. Great kit I will build another one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fulcrum1 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Weathering is spot on, but shouldn't the prop be weathered too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Just an outstanding build of a great kit. Your painting, decaling, and over all weathering gives your F4U-1 Corsair that "used but not abused" look of a operational aircraft. Simply well done. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
