I like it a lot! What's the blue masking fluid? How is it compared to maskol?

Thanks Roman.
The blue mask is Micromask from Microsol.
More liquid, better for details, need to take care how long you let it on the parts because it's harder to peel it off and... Blue instead of the horrrrrrible color of the Maskol!

Hi Mates,
I've started to tone down the first weathering step; done on the right😉

I like the weathering. Looks like real world. I have never seen a corsair in use though 😉. I wasn't aware that the magnetos on the r2800 were gray.

Great shot of the finished engine - or is it finished? Like the progress pics and the patience you have shown with the masking that was required. The finished product really stands out because of it. Nicely grimed up, but not too much since it is in service and maintained. The plane that will be attached to it will be something to look forward to.

HI,
Thanks a lot for the kind comments Mates!
The engine is not finished yet, but almost done. I'd like to start the aircraft soon... but would like to work on the cars too!!!! Not enough time to do everything as most of us😉
So few pics of the last progress added 😄

Hi, Thanks a lot Mates😢
Stefan, I think I have few things for you if you need documentation about the Corsair.
Let me know...

I have the same kit
I have some of the aftermarket stuff you use
But I'll lack your talent for achieving suche a great result..
But be sure I'll refer to your build when I'll do mine!

Bien sur!
But it's still an impressive kit. I 'm sure it's cleverly design and almost foolproof, but the idea of starting this kind of kit is still daunting...

wow this is an absolute master class in scale modelling !!
unreal how real this looks !!
BLOWN
AWAY !!
I wonder how many hours you must have spent on looking at reference material, let alone time spent on building and painting !

Still excellent.
I just can't believe it... You needed a small strip on the leading edge of the wing? But why? A faulty assembly from Tamiya?

Thanks a lot for your kind comments Mates.I greatly appreciate!!😉
Maybe the fault came from me... The strip is really thin, less than 0.25mm and is more here to have an easier assembly than to really correct a faulty assembly.
Thanks again for following the build.

This would be easier to floow if you periodically edited the the view as first option.

Just stunning, every image is extraordinary and I just sat and stare at every one of them. I would imagine you could market them and make a pretty penny mate. I love it !!!!

Oh yes, I still enjoy the WIP...
The only problem is that you are killing the subject: Who would be bold enough to build a Corsair after such a masterpiece?

Fantastic progress Pascal! The photos are a great record of your build and the finished model should be on museum display. Great work! 👍 🙂

Tedious..............I looked at 50 and it was too much overload, like a rivet by rivet build. tedious and way too much information. KISS. (keep it simple sonny)

Thanks Choppa, I hope I was not being too harsh in my observations, but I simply found that it is just too repetitious for MY likings, and I am sure that there are others that may have a similar view. No offence to anyone here, just my view, all without being nasty or rude on my part. Thank God we are all a tolerant bunch. ! 🙂

the nice thing with a rivet by rivet build is that you get to appreciate just how much effort goes into a model like this as well as being a handy reference guide/inspiration etc. 🙂

just curious about the two metal panels underneath, photos 416 & 417,
why replace the plastic there ? was the original detail wrong or are you preparing for weathering ? 🙂

The 2 metal panels. Are the painted or real metal? If they are painted, how did you get that effect? I'm almost embarassed to post anymore of my crap. How did you shrink an entire real Corsair? Gary
