Question for the masters here....is MRP 133 Blue-Grey the correct color for a two tone early war Corsair? It just looks very grey to me, compared to photos of other finished models.

aircare84 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 That is the same number I have in my stock as well, but I used Xtracolor enamel to paint my Corsair. So, cannot comment on how the MRP color looks on the model. Hopefully, someone who used MRP will comment. Brett M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett M Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Minor work done today, mainly smaller parts sprayed black and attached, along with some Barracuda decals. Tiny, but definitely worth the effort and detail they add! Prior to any gloss, just dry fit some parts together. Started some wear on the rudder pedals. May need more "dirt". And about an hours worth of work with decals on the port side. Looks pretty strange with the gloss coat, but once it's been hit with matte, this really should look nice! As always, comments, critiques, suggestions....all are welcome! Brett daveculp, Kagemusha, Starfighter and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev 7 hours ago, misha71 said: nice start Thank you both. Decals are all applied on the parts painted. I'll hit them with matte tomorrow/Sunday and get some additional parts prepped and painted, hopefully. House and yard work galore this weekend, but I'm hoping for some bench time.

curiouslysophie Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Spectacular work! That cockpit is shaping up to be a beauty, as will the whole build! The level of detail is incredible. With regard to the MRP colour, does it look odd sprayed? I found a few of their colours looked a bit out, but were fine when clear coated and weathered. nmayhew and Brett M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Sophie! The green looks a bit....bright? But having never used any other dark dull green, maybe it's right? It did spray nice and smooth, so a plus there! curiouslysophie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett M Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 More progress from the weekend and this evening. Most of the cockpit is done. I have a small tank that is mid paint job and unattached...to attach, but otherwise, moving ahead.
