                        Great looking Corsair, and the chipping really catches the eye.  I know that there are many good, but complicated, techniques to achieve realistic chipping.  However, yours looks wonderfully convincing with the simpler method.  Congrats!

                        Your 1/72 Corsair is very nicely done. Your chipping technique seems to have yielded excellent results. Well done indeed.

                        By the way, thanks for reminding me that I need to get it in gear and revive my Tamiya 1/72 F4U-1D Corsair WIP. Way over due for some progress on it and an update to my thread.

                        Thank You for sharing. Joe
