JohnB Posted January 5, 2023 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

Peterpools Posted January 6, 2023 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
