David Hansen Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Looks nice so far. I think that clear segment on the top of the canopy, aft of the last transverse frame should be painted; it's got an ejector pin mark on the inside, which i don't think is supposed to be visible. Don't mean that as a criticism, just trying to relay a previous mistake i made on my first Corsair build. -d- Uncarina and spyrosjzmichos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful build! spyrosjzmichos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Great stuff! I'm surprised there isn't a rear frame to the canopy. Sincerely, Mark spyrosjzmichos, Shaka HI and Len Turner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misinterpreted the painting guide thinking that it's just the clear section over the painted fuselage. I did notice the injector pin mark and was really wondering why Tamiya would mould that there. I really don't see this as bad criticism. The main reason I joined online forums and facebook groups is exactly for this: to get feedback and advise on how to improve. In fact, I ask for that in every of my posts and I do hope to see this happening more often. On a facebook group a member pointed out I should redo the panel line wash over the serial numbers, something I initially also missed. So, please don't worry about sharing your thoughts! I really appreciate it and I thank you for that! I will be spending today correcting the canopy, redoing the panel wash and getting rid of that decal silvering. You are correct, a lot of builds get that portion of the canopy wrong. Beautiful build! Thanks mate! Totally misinterpreted Tamiya's painting guide there! Will be working on the canopy today!

That's also another error I noticed after I started looking at other peoples' builds. I'll be correcting that, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
