Nice progress

I like the way you masked off the engine cowling, I "came up" with the same idea to tape it from the inside on a recent build so that inner lip would get sprayed. Awesome build!

Jakub Fiala
Thank you Michael and Rando!

Fantastic work 👏 with lovely helpful and informative imagery on how you're accomplishing it 👍 following from here with much interest 🙂

Jakub Fiala
Thanks a lot, gents, for your kind words!

Alec, i'm really glad, you like the chipping. This is my first attempt to chip multiply layers of different colors. I was in suspense how it will look like. Fortunately it seems to me that it's OK 🙂
9 April 2023, 10:45
Alec K
I think you succeeded magnificently. And on first attempt?! Looks really great, especially coupled with the shading. I think these pacific birds are a great canvas for such methods. Again, great work 👍

9 April 2023, 15:44

Ludvíku, keep your hat on. There is still a long way to go.....and i´m ready to screw it up anytime 😄
I´ve started to work on fabric areas.

Well, I'll save the hat tip for when the model's ready. But the work in progress is also worthy of high praise. 👍

@bughunter Now if only i had your skills with detailing... 😉
15 May 2023, 20:45
Ludvík Kružík
When I see the skills you have and the skills bughunter has, I think I would need the skill you two have. 😄

The surface of the Corsair looks very convincing. I like it very much. 👍

Thank you for the compliment about my skills. 🙂 However, I think I still have a lot to learn, especially in the area of painting.

Perfection - the faded coloring, the weathering, the chipping - you did this kit justice. Tamiya should pay you to build their kits for display.
4 April, 14:41
Jakub Fiala
Thank you very much CaptGPF! I was very pleased with your comment, but i'm sure you are exaggeratig a bit🙂

Fantastic birdcage and the look I am striving for in my F4U.
Question: you used a red anticorrosive paint at the wheel wells and the interior of the fuselage. Do you know by chance how this color is called and whether it was used at later versions of the Corsair too? I only knew of the zinc chromate yellow as anticorrosive and its mixture with black as interior green. I would appreciate if you could share your knowledge.
5 April, 07:10
Jakub Fiala
Thank you, gents!
Michael, as i found on the internet, the color is called salmon pink primer and was only used for early Corsairs
Nice pictures here: forum.largescaleplan..on-primer-questions/

Thanks a lot Jakub. That sounds like I can stick with zinc chromate yellow for my 1D.
