David Hansen Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yeah the exhaust stream starts off intially trapped in the laminar flow, but separates quite abruptly away into the turbulent flow when it reaches the trailing edge of the intercooler flap. One of those many nuances with airflow and what not..... Those pics depict the exhaust streak about as well as any could. -d- Mal_Belford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmaduke Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Good information about the exhaust stains! I'm going to have to remember that for my Corsair when I get to that point. Thanks Mal! Mal_Belford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Very nice work on the exhaust stains Mal........one thing I noticed on those b/w pictures is I think that corsair has odd mismatched tires fitted.......adds a little interst maybe.

Mal_Belford Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Allright.....Landing gear needs treatment.... For theese next steps so far ive only used Tamiya washes black, grey and brown. Now pinwashing..mixed up a grey wash...to make details pop out... Now brown wash at the movable joints and shafts and light on piston....and places where grease gunk collects Some minor adjustements needed.....before Next stop...,,,,namely oil colors...subtle and layers...to make it alive.. /Mal tomv87, Rick K, Marmaduke and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastzx Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Very nice work on the exhaust stains Mal........one thing I noticed on those b/w pictures is I think that corsair has odd mismatched tires fitted.......adds a little interst maybe. Regards. Andy Yes the tire mismatch would highlight the issues with the earliest corsairs.The oleo compression and rebound issues that VF17 and Vought worked through To carrier qualify the corsair. Also Cmdr Tommy Blackburn had a running bet about not blowing too many tires That he later collected on during the Empress Augusta Bay CAP. This is mentioned in the book "The Jolly Rogers". http://www.erichammelbooks.com/books/f_the-jolly-rogers.php Very nice job on your corsair Mal. You have done a great job documenting your work as well. Cheers Jon Edited August 18, 2015 by fastzx Mal_Belford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Thanks Jon.....thanks. Also im very glad for the history lesson about the tires, this the thing about a build and forums..... Learn a piece of history at the same time.... /Mal tomv87 and Volture 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Oilpaints.....preussian blue on the piston......very very veru diluted so it shimmering, since oil do that...and hudralic oilgunk that piled up after a wile and rinning down the poston housing (i Think its called that), and greas on some joints..... Maybe not right...but it looks cool, and will do just fine for me....also got a uestion about the brake line, well i Think back then they were oversprayed on the assebly line, they didnt seem to mask them of, as these Aircraft came in sections, and found one photo that seems to confirm this....but hey this is pure qualified guessing, and after many hard landings i Think they were replaced and then off course black...... /Mal Edited August 18, 2015 by Mal_Belford tucohoward, Ralph-D, Rick K and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
