Hobby Boss 1/48 A7E Corsair II Sidewinders - Ready for inspection
Posted by Nikola on Saturday, December 23, 2023 6:18 PM

Hi gents,

 

Another one on the shelves.  I could say that this was more of a routine build which did not inspire me that much, but I still had fun for sure. 

As these birds were kept relatively clean and well maintained, I decided to keep weathering subtle.

I have used Aires cockpit set and I am not actually sure if it was for this kit even though it says it is. It was quite problematic fit wise in some areas.

No pitot tube was provided in the kit.

I have scratch built the intake cover as the fit was bad on the already wrong shaped intake, so it required covering up.

Painted with Gunze Mr. Color paints and weathered with AMMO washes, Revell pigments and AK pencils.

 

Hope you like it.

 

Best,

Nikola

Very nicely done!  The Sidewinders certainly have interesting markings.  And she is absolutely loaded for bear.

Thanks,

John

Now when I said "routine" I didn't mean to sound arrogant at all, but I might have now that I look at it, haha. What I meant was that I didn't really dig into all the things and details that I could have since, as I said, it didn't inspire me that much. I still put effort into what I was doing and tried to do it justice. :)

 

Best,

Nikola
