Tamiya's F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair

Clifford Keesler
Thanks, yes I am trying to clear out some WWII stuff, so I can get back into the more modern stuff. My wife says I have to clear some of the stash before I can buy anymore. LOL.

Ugly looking brute! Any progress on the painting?

Clifford Keesler
I am in the decal stage, Tamiya decals suck. I tried my first attempt at the hair spray weathering/chipping effects. I will get some pictures up. I have been lacking in that. I guess that is what happens when you have 3 builds going on at once. LOL.

Hello Clifford, the Corsair looks so glossy. Is it the color? Which color do you use.

Arne Greve
?

Clifford Keesler
It is not finished, that is the gloss coat for applying decals. It will now get weathered and then get a matte coat. I used gloss white medium blue grey and gloss sea blue. It will all get toned down.
