F4U Corsair Build

This one was abandoned due to paint problems. (Orange peel dimples)
I just took it out to see what can be done.. (Sanding ?)

Peter Jenssen
Sanded and tried on some acrylics.
Thought I'd paint this one at the same time as the Privateer.
They have similar paint schemes after all..

I'm trying to decide on weathering look. At the moment, I'm thinking an island based aircraft would potentially have more paint chipping from dust kicked up during takeoffs and landing, whereas that would not be the case for carrier based aircraft.
Thoughts?

Dave Flitton
Looks good, the island look would help to hide any mistakes from removing the paint

Peter Jenssen
Surface appears to have been recovered to an acceptable state.. 🙂

Peter Jenssen
Clear coat on the corsair.
Ready to finish decalling..

Peter Jenssen
Nearly done!
Landing gear and propeller next..

Choppa Nutta

Choppa Nutta
Hey up Peter hows this one coming along dude ?
The suspense is killing me 😄

Peter Jenssen
🙂
Ok then, update;
Managed to squeeze in an hour or two modelling time last night.
landing gear painted, propeller painted and decalled and started on weathering while waiting for maskol of the wheels to dry..

Choppa Nutta
sweet, looking good and your nearly finished 🙂
Frank might pip you to the post though as he started with a model that really is almost done 🙂
maskol, is that a liquid mask ?

Jens
👍 👍 👍

Phil Marchese
Coming along very nicely.

Peter Jenssen
Thanks,
Done! That would have to do for now, maybe some touchups will be required in the future.
Posted som pics!
(Yes Choppa, -the liquid mask made by Humbrol to be exact. It smells terrible..)

Choppa Nutta
Ah Dang it !! you finished before me !!!
I thought I was on a home run there 😄
Nice work bud, looks good !
Bet that feels good to finally having one completed after all this time 😄

Peter Jenssen
Thanks!
I like your poster on the event page! :-D

Choppa Nutta
cool and cheers 🙂
just thought I would add a we backdrop 🙂
Oh, you've changed the name of this album, I was hoping that you were going to keep this album rolling with your next TNKR project and then create a new "Final Reveal" album for the Corsair 🙂
Not that I am telling you what to do or anything but thats just what I imagined to happen, that way we have one album with our complete TNKR story and end up with a collection of "Final Reveal" albums along the way or at ;east that was my hope 🙂

Anyhow though, good work bud, always had a soft spot for the Corsair 🙂
