1/48 Hobby boss F4U-5 Corsair US Navy
Posted by Grant Dalzell on Thursday, August 16, 2018 9:51 PM

Painted with Gunze, Tamiya and Vallejo acrylics, Vallejo metal colour, Flory dark dirt wash and MIG satin varnish. Did a little chipping with some sponge on it, and wings folded up for a change. I don't know why, but I don't like doing blue aircraft, and this one is literally blue everywhere even wheel wells. 

I added some plastic rod to make wing braces, although I don't think many had them, but the kit has the holes in the wings for them

I like the weathering.  It does good to break up the look of an all-blue bird.
