A little pre shading as this will be all one colour - dark sea blue. Hope I don’t scratch down to any white.

Lesson learnt on layered chipping - cover airframe in aluminium as when you come to chip you forget the exact range of the partial silvered sections

Nice layered chipping! Not easy to get scale right in 1:72. You nailed it! I'll have to remember the lesson.

Thanks for kind words. This was a quick 'build' especially for me, not a lot of build but more a fun exercise in painting. While the phot of the original 18 don't appear to show as much weather it hard not to have fun with chipping on a Corsair. These small and relatively cheap HobbyBoss kits are great for practicing paint techniques.
Cheers all and on to the next
