Zglossip Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 hey guys i have finally finished my corsair with the work on the ranch taken up so much of my time have not been able to work on my model all that much but its finally finished and it depicts a corsair fighter bomber of the famous black sheep squadron in the korean war . it has some new techniques including hairspray chipping pastels and airbrush fading a real fun model hope you guys like it
ghodges Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 Good work Z on a real classic! I really like those Marine markings. Are they kit decals, or aftermarket? GIL
Zglossip Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Posted August 31, 2014 Gil they are kit decals just not from the corsair kits I save all the decals I don't use so I got online and was able to find out what markings were on the black sheep squadron so I was able to piece together different decals and letters I saved from older models to give it the markings you see on the model . to Jim deck it is a good model but like you said it was very tough to put together the fuselage halves didn't fit right so it took some time and a whole lotta seam filling to make it fit . thanks for your comments.
aAzZ09 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 Good work, Z. This reminds me of the first Monogram Corsair I built back in 1961 or '62, but certainly not as good as this one. Best, Mark
VonL Posted September 7, 2014 Report Posted September 7, 2014 Very cool. That WX effect definitely has the rough, tough character of the Korean War Marines.
mustang1989 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) First off congratulations on finishing this bear of a build kit there Z! This is one of the more challenging builds I've seen and it looks like you outlasted the kit. Secondly I like the weathering techniques you added. Nice touch bud. PM sent.............
