rom Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Hello Here is a build done in early 2020. Hasegawa F4U-7 Aires Cockpit Aires engine Pavla control surfaces Obsureco wheels Brassin HVAR and bomb Adecco decal The model depicts a plane during 1956 Suez Canal crisis. Some sources say that this actual airframe had only yellow stripes wihtout black ones. Aires cockpit needs some added details to depict a -7 such as armrests, and armament control boxes on each sides of the gunsight. Paint is AKREAL COLORS RC258 Dark sea blue, tuned with MrHobby C375 and a drop of H5. Hope you like it! Critiques and comments welcomed!

Collin Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 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?

rom Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 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.
