                        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

                        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!
