Steve, thanks! I'm glad you like it. In retrospect, I should have gone lighter on the paint chipping and heavier on the paint fading. But hey, I like the Corsair and this is a beautiful kit. Plus I've got decals for three other planes!
I'm not sure if you're asking about the panel wash or faded panels, so I'll explain both. The light panel wash is put out by Promodeler, and it's really great stuff. I used the dark wash on the bottom surfaces. To make the lighter panels, I cranked my airbrush down to about 3 psi and thinned the paint down a lot. I lightened the base color with white and buffand then filled the panels in. Hope this helps!
