rom Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Wonderful! did you paint the scratches? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon50EX Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) I really like the shade of Gloss Sea Blue you used. FWIW, there's some disagreement as to exactly which version of Corsair that is. Photographic evidence strongly points to a Brewster F3A-1A, Goodyear FG-1A or possibly an early, re built/ reworked F4U-1A. the plane has the 63 gallon wing tanks, so its not a -1D. This is based on photos that Tamiya may not have known about when they selected markings for that kit. But it doesn't take away from the fact that it is a beautiful model! Thanks for posting!

okthree Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Quite possibly one of the best and most realistically weathered GSB finishes I have ever seen on a Corsair model. Nicely done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Voss, Just a rock solid build with a fantastic paint job & weathering effort. I'm not a big fan of a museum looking glossy Sea Blue scheme. Your transformation to a operational aircraft that's seen a lot of use is very realistic, and adds a tremendous amount to your overall presentation. As for the issues of the markings for a -1D, this is the 1st time that I've seen that in all the reviews of the Tamiya kit, and it's been reviewed several times on the usual sites. So I would have, and still just might use the kit decals on mine build, as I've already built the -1, and -1A Tamiya versions. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HAMMER32 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 The weathering is beautiful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 If I were a judge and you entered it in a contest, it would win something!!!, the weathering alone makes it a standout!!!, the rest speaks for itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
