Great results, love the paint job. Top notch.


Reminds me of the 'bent wing bird' that they have at the FAA Museum at Yeovilton, they did a back restoration on it showing all it scars and patina that was hidden under a previous restoration coat of paint. It's good to see an aircraft with battle scars, add life to it. Well done

Nice work all round.

Thank you for kind comments, I was not sure if I had overcooked the weathering as it was my first attempt.

Great work Dan it looks like one well beaten Corsair.


I must remember this build if ever I break a canopy on a kit

Great work and nice paint job and I really like the battle scarring ( they never were all pristine ) a well worn and well used look

I like the worn out look too. Nice work, especially in 1:72
