Aires cockpit needs some added details to depict a -7 such as armrests, and armament control boxes on each sides of the gunsight.

One of the best GSB Corsairs I’ve seen, and I think a lot of folks in these boards will agree. 
 

The weathering of your GSB, the slightly off tone look you created...how was that done. Very effective. 
 

Pencil chipping or scraping down to the NMF base layer?

 

Cheers

Thank you Guys!

 

Collin, this how chipping was done:

 

 

 

The whole model is primed with mr hobby 218, wich gives weak adhesion for paints applied on it.

then the dark sea blue is painted, and after drying, chipped with toothpick and blade.
