JohnB Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I'm calling this one done. A very nicely detailed kit which kind of reminds me of a scaled down Tamiya kit although there are differences. I had problems initially in getting the fuselage halves to mate properly as the interior sub assemblies seemed to want to move out of place whenever I thought I had everything sorted out. After stepping back from the build for a couple of days I was able to get all that sorted out. Painted with Tamiya Flat White, Colourcoats Intermediate Blue, and Testor's MM acrylic Dark Sea Blue (thanks to Chris for the bottle of DSB!). The national insignia decals are from my stash as are the side numbers #212. The ones supplied in the kit were a little over sized. Also, when referencing photos, it was noted the national insignias had no blue outline on the "bars" which was another reason to go to the stash for markings. The rest of the markings are kit decals. I decided against a lot of weathering for now but may go back at some point and do some of that. I hope you like the results of my efforts! 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 John Simply stellar work and so glad you overcame the fit issues at the start of the build. I have all your notes and emails so when I build my Corsairs, I'll be able to navigate the waters without any much of a cuss factor. Paintwork and decaling are absolutely flawless. 🏆 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Looks great. Up to the same caliber of build quality as the bigger Corsairs you've done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I like it, obviously its not Tamiya kit, but despite the difficult assembly the result is more than likeable. Well done John! 👍 Cheers Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
