Hasegawa A-7E Corsair II - 1/48

[crackerjazz]

This build is from over a year ago, but I waited until I could save up for a real camera instead of using just the cellphone to be able to post better pics and now that I finally got my hands on one -- a Sony A7rii, I'm not sure if I'm happy    For the past few days it's all learning about the camera and about aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focusing features, but I'm just not too happy with how the photos and colors are turning out.    I know I have a long way to go but here are a few trial shots anyway.     Photos of an A7 Corsair II using a Sony A7rII:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By comparison here are some Samsung Galaxy S6 phone camera shots:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was looking back through the constuction pics and came across this -- it's nice to compare it with the final display:

 

 

 

Abandoned 1/32 which I hope to get back to someday:

 

 

 

So there you have it.  I feel like I can take better pics with the S6 phone camera : (      I chose the Sony A7rii because of it's 42MP resolution, low-light capabilities and dynamic range for capturing various levels of weathering easier which it does really well.  Even very light weathering is easy to capture  --- not so easy using the phone.   But I look at A7rii photos online and compare them to mine and I'm just not sure how they achieve such beautiful depth and color.   I just know it's gonna be a long time before I could achieve that.

I think they both look just great.

Awesome build, a pair of A-7’s with a full weapons load, looks great! I’m hoping you get back on board with your Trumpeter build, that Aires cockpit looks amazing!!!

On a scale from 1-10, how fed up were you making bombs after that?:)  Excellent weathering on those models - used, but still maintained.

Thanks Kevin!  HI Squizzy,  I kind of messed up the intake area of my Trumpeter trying to fix it, but yes, I hope to get back to it, someday.  Have to get a good canopy for it as well.   Hi jenshb, that's a big 10!   Not looking forward to building bombs anytime soon, haha.
