Global Scale Modeller

Ok lads here we have a plastic model kit all glued and painted up..
If Acadamy kits are always as good as this someone send me another one. A really nice experience this was, although I cant workout wether it was the kit or the subject, if you haven't yet had a go at a Corsair then do, they are just great aeroplanes to build. Muscular, rugged and an exotic gull-wing... Awesome...







Bloody zip-kicker...



Hope it not too tedious...











Undersides..





Still with me..





The lighter blue is suppose to represent faded fabric on the wings...





Nearly there...



This build for me was always about the colour scheme, weathering and fun.. It's not he best and there's quite a few brilliant examples knocking around at the moment (can't wait for his lordships) but I enjoyed her, after all, it's all experience.
Oh yeah, I went for the bomb!!!

Hope you enjoyed and thanx for looking

wow your right you did have fun with the weathering looks great , like the close up shots

Wow! That's a battle weary and worn F4U...looks great though!

Cheers,

Martin

Great looking kit mate, 'Tis the Mutts

Thanks for the feedback lads...
No idea if its accurate or not but I don't care about that. The next one might be "factory fresh" for a change

Great looking plane there, mate!

Nice work, that's one well battered plane

Embarrassed
Thank you

That Corsair's seen some action, huh?
I love those multicolored panels; the ground crew's been busy keeping this bird in the air!
Great job!

Thanx trek, it's hard not to keep on weathering, you've got to know when to stop....
Which is a shame

Great paint job mate love it mate.

I love seen the US planes from the pacific well worked and the job you done on that one is amazing, well done

Thanx guys, most appreciated..

Love the weathering on this bird

Great looking Corsair and lovely job on the weathering giving her that well used combat veteran look

She was a pleasure to do and I'm glad you like her.... Go and get one
Thanx guys.

Bloody fantastic Tim!

I've just started mine (painted cockpit and wheel wells, cowls etc) - I'd be ectastic if it ends up half as good as yours!

Definitely saving this pics in my "inspiration" file!

cheers
