wdedig Posted September 24, 2018 Report Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) This aircraft was flown by Marines in Ground support for Army in 1945 in Philippines. This is the 1/48th Tamiya kit Gil mentions in his build below. Great Kit and a nice relief for some well engineered model. Some basic stuff, Testors Spray Gloss Blue(Decanted),Mr Hobby Semi-Gloss (Decanted), Eduard Seatbelts, filled step in starboard dropped Flap. Only color was Green in a couple of places. Uschi fine line used for Antennas Thanks for Looking Comments Welcome Cheers Bill Edited September 24, 2018 by wdedig
Spitfiredude Posted September 24, 2018 Report Posted September 24, 2018 I usually don't post comments but I love Corsairs and yours is a nice, clean representation. I always like that overall dark sea blue with the contrasting white and blue modex. I have six Tamiya Corsair kits, probably give them to my son because I will be dead before I ever start one of my 300 kits! So many kits, so little time. Keep up the good work! Cheers
wdedig Posted September 24, 2018 Author Report Posted September 24, 2018 Thank You Randall I suggest taking one of those Corsair kits and spend a few days..This is a fall together kit and you will enjoy the build. Cheers Bill
ghodges Posted September 25, 2018 Report Posted September 25, 2018 Absolutely gorgeous! Seeing yours makes me wish I hadn't folded the wings on mine. That's going to garner a lot of well deserved compliments everywhere you take it. Congrats! GIL
wdedig Posted September 25, 2018 Author Report Posted September 25, 2018 Thanks Gil Amazing the difference in looks,folded VS straight. I believe weathering requires artistic talents I am challenged to obtain. I envy your skill in this area.Reason I tend to build clean. cheers Bill
Mark Deliduka Posted September 25, 2018 Report Posted September 25, 2018 I think it's a magnificent model Bill. Brilliant execution and sensational finish. This is well worth looking at. Randall, I agree with Gil; pull one out and have at it!
wdedig Posted September 25, 2018 Author Report Posted September 25, 2018 Thanks Mark Very kind of You Cheers Bill
aAzZ09 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Posted September 30, 2018 Very nice Corsair! Keep up the good work! Mark
WildBill50 Posted October 4, 2018 Report Posted October 4, 2018 Great finish on the bird. All around beautifully done. Bill
wdedig Posted October 4, 2018 Author Report Posted October 4, 2018 Thanks for the positive feedback All Bill
Spruemeister Posted October 12, 2018 Report Posted October 12, 2018 I love that there are still modelers unafraid or unashamed to build clean. For a long time, my build skills only allowed the clean look. But even now I still intentionally do it. I likely will never get completely away from the style. Great looking Corsair! I have one about half done that needs some attention. It too will be nearly factory new in appearance. Rick L.
