Phoenixs Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hello to all, with this my last job I tried to put all my efforts on weathering, trying to give a worn look to my Corsair.The Corsairs of the Marines were really "massacred" by environmental conditions found on the South Pacific islands: hot sun, abrasive sand as crystalline diamond paper, salt made themselves felt on the livery of the great fighters of the Vought.I have depleted all the techniques in my "possession" (Preshading, Postshading, paint chips with toothbrush and maskol, desaturation varied, use of pigments, oil washes and Panel liner of Ak interactive), many of which used to first time. To you the opinions ... my critical opinion is that, to date, I gave the best I could give and so I am very satisfied.In short:F-4U1 "Birdcage" personal aircraft of Lieutenant Wilbur "Gus" Thomas nicknamed Gus's Gopher, you belong to VMF-213 stationed in July '43 air base on GuadalcanalTamiya kit1/32 scaleAftermarket: Resin Motor Eduard, accessory bay in the Grey Matter resin wheels Barracuda Cast resin.Color: Tamiya and Gunze.Here are the photos, Semper Fidelis. :-) "> "> Ilya, Zero77, cib2265 and 23 others 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngtiger1 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Totally cool. Also looked at you other build and they are awesome. I'm bit bias toward the IAF F-16C as I am nuts about their stuff. Thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Absolutely gorgeous work, Ivan! I think the panel line highlighting on the fuselage is a little strong for my tastes, but otherwise it's just about perfect. May I publish it on the website?
