Greif8 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hi Brett, I like the Alclad flat. I spray two, and sometimes three, light coats for a dead flat finish. One light coat gives a nice eggshell type semi-gloss. Ernest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett M Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Salt weathering done......and hard to see in pictures, of course. But, at least in person, it helped tone things down. The insignia's definitely look better (first picture, super dark for some reason on it, much lighter in person???). Definitely looking for opinions here. The main panel lines on the fuselage, I shaded them with smoke and I'm not sure if I went too nuts/dark. Thoughts on how they look? Should I back them down a few steps so they don't stand out as much? Let me know what you think! Overall progress.....

Dana Bell Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Hi Brett, I should have read your question more closely - yes, Light Gray is more likely for Corsairs wearing your camouflage scheme. Keep up the good work! Cheers, Dana Brett M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to share.....windscreen masking is off and no issues with paint leaking. I'm always worried about that occurring! Lost a bit of blue on the rear windows where the canopy will sit, but easy to fix. Nice to see the cockpit stayed together with all the handling these past months.

Brett M Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Been a bit, with the crazy world going on and some earth shaking in the Salt Lake area! But, progress is moving ahead. Landing gear attached, wheels and tires done, landing gear doors. Canopy painted and close to where I want it. Small touch ups here and there and then the radio rigging/antenna to be done. Let me know what you think so far! Out2gtcha, Jeff T, TAG and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
