DocRob Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Nice pit John, these Quinta sets are amazing. You already decided to not use the HGW transfers, but here are my . The process is well documented with Garys description, except, I would press them on properly with a piece of damp kitchen paper after removing the carrier film. Like Gary mentioned, they are hit and miss, I used them on several occasions and never all of them went on properly. Sometimes, there are lifts by the carrier film, even when the surface is prepared properly. For stencils, it mostly works, but I have my doubts with larger ones like the stars and bars. If you like a worn finish, you have immediate chipping with these , but for a newish looking plane . Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Rob Right,you and John and every aircraft build I've done these past few years, I've gone with a Quinta cockpit set - they are amazing. I'm still reading up and watching as many videos as I can on masks and even HGW transfer as I have a feeling, I'll be using themn not to far down the line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too bad those HGW transfers are so hit and miss as I have several sets for the birdcage and later Corsairs. I'll sell 'em off if anyone is interested as I think I'll stay with the "sure thing" transfers. Your Corsair looks really good!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Since the armored glass piece was lost I had to make my own using parts from my stash of unused parts. I got lucky and found a part that was close to the one lost. A little trimming and painting and there you have it! 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 John Nice going on replacing the armor glass - looks really good and once the Corsair is closed up, I don't think you could tell the difference between the kit part and your part 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Looking brilliantly as ever John, could you photograph the glass fuselage panel that sits behind the canopy, this is where I’ve stalled on mine in fitting the the wrong ones and upside down I think. Thanks….. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 I decided to go on and paint the undersides. I tried to show some wear/weathering in the wells that allows the salmon primer to show through. Later on I'll do some additional work there with a wash of either dark gray or black. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, do you have a clone that takes care of esoteric things like eating, and grocery shopping, doing laundy and such so you can model? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
