Ready for your perusal. It's always enjoyable to build one of their Corsairs and this one was no exception. Great fit and detail throughout. What more could you ask for? LOL The only after market parts used are the Barracuda resin wheels. Everything else is box stock. Painted with Testor's MM. Decals are from Eaglecals. I tried to be careful with the weathering so as not to over do it and I feel like I got it done okay. I hope y'all like it and PLEASE remember to click on the first photo for best resolution and to view as a slide show. THANK YOU!!!

I used to always use decals for that but decided to take a different approach this time. I think it worked out okay too Peter.

Thank you Kevin. Pretty tedious but worth the effort I think.

Walkway masking and over painting done. I plan to do some weathering/wear a little later.

Making progress on painting and prep for weathering. Waiting for some .03 wide masking strips for the wing walks coming from SB.

Hoping all will go well Peter.

Wings now on and ready for some paint.

Progress.

I've decided to do a different Corsair instead of "Tojo Eats S**t". Not particularly happy with the Tojo name and the very heavy weathering needed plus I haven't done "Bubbles" yet so I'll do that one.

LOL Bill. Could be a problem with the little bitty fiddly bits! 😂

Looking good so far Kevin. I've used masks a few times but the thing about them is if it's a little off and you don't see it until after painting then you have to go back and re-paint everything. The beauty of using decals IMHO is they can be "adjusted" in place so, usually, there's no going back to re-paint, etc. Easier process for this lazy old man! LOL

Certainly will be a beauty Peter. I hope Diane does well!!!

You just can't beat those Tamiya Corsairs. Excellent kits. Your build looks really good! Nice weathering.

Cockpit about done.

Thanks Carl. That's a great start on the Spitfires!

20 or 21 Phil.

Thank you Chris. My old Paasche H has seen a lot of paint through it!

Thanks Peter. This is the last one in my stash but I will get more for sure! LOL Not a good thing to be out of Corsair kits!

Yep, another Corsair. Interesting name too! LOL The interior Salmon Pink and Dull Dk. Green now applied. I think, guys, it's not so much the subject as it is the enjoyment of the build although the subject is also important. That's why I build so many Corsairs.

Thank you Dennis. I had started this build a few weeks ago but put it back in the box for "later". This was "later" LOL. I'm pleased with the way it turned out and I'm glad you like it also.

Thanks!!!

LOL I don't know about that!

Thanks. I like those very late war schemes since they were "different" from all the earlier schemes.

Finished. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/19530-fw-190d-9-done/

Essentially OOB except for a Aires cockpit. Painted with Testor's MM, Colourcoats, Alclad and Mr. Color. Decals from Eaglecals with reference to Crandall's Vol. 1 on the FW-190D's, page 191. Nice looking very late war '190 I think. I hope you like it.
