dodgem37 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Marvelous. Great presentation. You have the Magic Midas Touch. It's wonderful to see you progress through a build. Every new post is a delight. Thanks a HEAP for sharing your build process and progress. PS.

chuck540z3 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 This model would win everything at the model contests I have attended, including best of show. Truly spectacular John. You should be proud. Cheers, Chuck GreyGhost, Michael931080 and Thunnus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingman777 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 very impresive, especially the weathering and blending of the paints. I'm a fan for sure. Thunnus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lothar Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 This is the best representation of the Corsair I've ever seen in this scale - nothing more left to say but taking a deep bow!!!!!! Lothar Thunnus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your paint and weathering demonstrates to good effect the continual use and the harsh environment this machine lived in. Just simply fantastic sir!!! Barry Thanks Barry! I stuck to the weathering techniques that I've used in the past but I think I need to stock up on a few more. 16 hours ago, Dandiego said: Painting and weathering are exceptional. Far past my skill level. Dan Thank you Dan! Everyone's got their strengths and weaknesses. I'm ok at painting but scratchbuilding is skill that I greatly admire but sadly lack. 16 hours ago, aircare84 said: John, What a great build! The paint & weathering are first class. Nice touch with the parachute Thanks for posting. Larry Thanks Larry! The parachute is from True Details and they make versions for the Luftwaffe and RAF as well as the US. 13 hours ago, Dpgsbody55 said: An exceptional build. The whole thing is just a work of art.

The Work in Progress link has been fixed! Oh... and I picked up a batch of that SIG microballon stuff. Initial tests have been very positive... thanks for the reference! 3 hours ago, chuck540z3 said: This model would win everything at the model contests I have attended, including best of show.

I get lots of inspiration from the builders here at LSP, including yourself! 2 hours ago, wingman777 said: very impresive, especially the weathering and blending of the paints. I'm a fan for sure. Thanks Wingmany777! Although I enjoy most if not all stages of the build, I think tying in all of the weathering levels with that first flat coat is one of my favorites. 2 hours ago, JayW said: It's a perfect example of shrink ray modelling. Thank you! I'm not really familiar with the Corsair but I got a lot of expert guidance from the LSP community, including an excellent suggestion to pick up Dana Bell's Corsair Volume 2, which I did. 2 hours ago, Chris Wimmer said: A little masterpiece, absolutely!

Lothar Thanks Lothar! I'm flattered! 49 minutes ago, Wolf Buddee said: Fantastic John! Brilliant finish and weathering. Absolutely love it Sir! Cheers, Wolf Thanks Wolf! One of fondest little things about this build is how the throttle quadrant came out and that was essentially a copy of your great work! Looking forward to seeing more of your Corsair! 40 minutes ago, rigor said: Just outstanding John Thank you Rigor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Great to see it finished, though I thoroughly enjoyed the build, so much to enjoy; subject, markings, execution, and I don't think I've seen a better model.
