Looking to build the F4U-1A Corsair 1:32 like in this picture. Does anyone know the exact two color grays I would need to achieve this? Or better yet, is there a website where this information exists? Im fairly new to this so any help would be appreciated and thank you for your time!
I've been known to kiss a fish or two, with a little bit of tongue. Don't judge me.
On the bench: Hasegawa BF109E
In the hanger: 1/48 Tamiya De Havilland Mosquito
In the trash: Revell 1/48 B-25J Mitchell
The link didnt show up on the thread, sorry!

Hey Paulie,
You're actually looking at full gray over white, but that scheme was on the AU-1 version of the Corsair. Check out this online article:

Hope this helps.

Very helpful! Thank you so much for the info!
Hey, Paulie. Looking forward to seeing that build. I've not done a corsair myself, but it was a great plane and I love seeing all the different versions people decide to do.
Im using it more as a "practice" model. Im just getting back into it but its been a long time. Im not sure it will be worth showing you.. LOL! I figured Id pick an easy color scheme, nothing to extravagent. I really want to practive panel line washes and stuff like that. We'll see how it goes. I ended up getting a 1/48 scale because most of the 1/32 scale Corsairs and mega bucks, figured Id try ona Tamiya $30 version first. Wish me luck!
mississippivolO is correct, it is light gull grey with white underside and control surfaces. I had to do a double take, that is a 3 blade prop on that puppy. Looking forward to seeing your build!
I think that pic is from a video game or something..
