Tamiya Birdcage "Bubbles"

[JohnB]

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.

Can't go wrong with a Corsair. Go start

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.

Thanks Peter. This is the last one in my stash but I will get more for sure! LOL Not a good thing to be out of Corsair kits!

Absolutely! I wonder if they might be cheaper by the dozen. 😉

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.

Thanks Carl. That's a great start on the Spitfires!

Cockpit about done.

[Bill_S]

Great job, John! I think your next Corsair build should be with a blindfold.

LOL Bill. Could be a problem with the little bitty fiddly bits! 😂

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.

[JohnB]

Progress.

[Peterpools]

John

Nice steady, meticulous progress as always. Change of name ... no biggie as it's always your call.

[JohnB]

Wings now on and ready for some paint.

[Peterpools]

John

Looking so good.

 

 

[JohnB]

Making progress on painting and prep for weathering. Waiting for some .03 wide masking strips for the wing walks coming from SB.

[Peterpools]

John

Nice progress on the paint work - flawlessly done.

 

 

[JohnB]

Walkway masking and over painting done. I plan to do some weathering/wear a little later.

[KevinM]

Oh Yeah Like the looks of that John

[Peterpools]

John

Progress as always 👍 Masking looks good and saves a lot of time decaling these areas, not to mention they do look better painted.

Thank you Kevin. Pretty tedious but worth the effort I think.

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.

[JohnB]

Completed.
