F4U-1 Corsair

Nice start. Did you mix the primer yourself? I've struggled to find the right shade of salmon pink primer here so I'm mixing my own.

Hi Gareth, no it's Alclad Red Oxide primer.

Gareth Windsor
Right on. I'm going to mix some Vallejo "amarantha red" (almost a terracotta) with some white and maybe a hit of yellow. So many problems though trying to match colours from a photograph.

Mark
Indeed. Have you seen the pics of the Birdcage raised from the lake in the US? The Salmon pink was quite dark IIRC but with 70 years in cold water who knows? Good luck with yours mate look forward to seeing your progress.👍

No, I'll go and look for that. I've been using this site for some of my references.
