Yes, I was very tempted to use the decals but, as it's turned out, the masking/painting went well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted May 1, 2023 Author Share Posted May 1, 2023 Got the little yellow stripes done. Lots of masking! Still a bit of touching up to do. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 The yellow stripes really stand out nicely. Along with the white sections, they add some colour to the model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sure do don't they Carl! At first I wasn't real sure I wanted to go that route but now I'm glad I did as I'm liking the way it's turning out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 What number is this build John? If we ever have a Corsair group build, you’re going to be required to build it while blindfolded! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winnie Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Wow, just amazing fast progress. I have one in the stash, I guess one of these days I'll have to man up and build it! Is there any way to do one wing folded and one normal? Cheers H 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Hi John Yellow and white masking came out perfect - looks so good and adds a lot of 'pop' to the paint scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 So when do you built the 1/32 aircraft carrier to put these on for display? I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that found a “niche” model they like to build. Apparently mine is the F-16 with 9 under my belt and 6 more in the stash. Funny thing is, I like the Phantoms better but have only built 3 with something like 9 in the stash. Go figure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tamiya Corsairs, followed by their's and Revell's P-51's, are about my favorites. I think the only thing that could make the Tamiya P-51's better is new wings with smoothed over rivets. That's where Revell's '51's are a little better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
