JohnB Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 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. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 John Absolutely you are the King of Corsair builds and you're off and running - looking good with the Salmon Pink and Dull Dark green on the parts. Completely agree why you love building Tamiya Corsairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Always great to watch you work your magic on a Corsair. I'm up to 12 Spitfires so a long want to catch up to you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 John Progress as always 👍 Masking looks good and saves a lot of time decaling these areas, not to mention they do look better painted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
