JohnB Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Another Corsair in the books. Painted with a combination of Testor's MM and Colourcoats. The interior is from Quinta Designs. The original a/c was very weathered so I tried not to overdo it. The decals are from Techmod and worked out very well. I hope y'all like it. 11 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 John You have to be kidding! An all-time build record for a Tamiya Birdcage. Weathering is awesome - so very well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John is finishing a kit - and in what a way : masterful as usual - in less time than it takes me to think about which sprue cutter to use for snipping a part off its sprue Well done, John 👍 !

I used a combination of lightened blue gray and some pastel chalk. Worked out okay I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
