Gamera, B.K., and The Mongoose, Thankyou for your comments and your kind words.
The Mongoose . I thin the paint abit more (Vallejo air) then I lower psi to 18, I remove the protective tip on the airbrush and find the spot were you see the paint just hits the model and practice 1st, its like calculus you need to learn the long way before you can use the short.
oh I forgot a front pic. and thanks for watching. and enjoying some cold 34 deg and Royal Palm trees!!! troplical lol.
Nick.
Crown r n7 that is some seriously good camo there! Lines are so good. We need a lesson on how you do that...or at least I do lol
Great tribute here. Toshi sure did love the Corsair
In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!
Excellent work, Nick. Toshi would be so happy with this one. I can see his response and praise in my minds eye for it already. Well done, Sir.

Thanks Nick! I think I like the more muted camo on yours better though!
Fantastic work- she's beautiful! I'm sure Toshi up there is all smiles!

Gamera. Thank you. I was surfing through past GB's came across Stikpusher's Latin American GB form 2013 and your F4U-1A looks awesome.
This corsair is done for my friend Toshi and he really liked the corsair so I made this unique F4U-1A for him.
This build was a lot of fun, free hand camo is how I started airbrushing 44 years ago with a binks airbrush and a small freon can and spitting water. I still have that plane and will post it one of these days lol.
Brandon: I agree- great job there on the pilot! And the cockpit don't look half bad either!
Nick: Superb job, glad to see her moving right along- almost to the finish line now.
BK. Thanks for the info.
This is almost done, still have same small stuff to do.
crown r n7BK. The cockpit is well done and the pilot is awesome, did it come with the kit ?
Thanks for the kind words.
Mongoose and Gamera, thank you for your comments. I wraped up on the wash now some small details, then the clear flat.

I finally got a start on the P-51C for Buddy, "Lewbud". I know he loved his 51's, so this one is for you Buddy.
This is going to be the "Boise Bee" when finished. I am hoping the landing gear will fit well enough to make it a flyer, but gear down if I have to. One simple shot of the cockpit before I close it up and lose it all. More to come.
Wow that is superb Nick! Love those Latin American Corsairs and love the camo!
Nick that is a crazy ass paint job! Really well done man the camo looks stupendous
Well done!! great start on the dino...
John.Thank you the tiger f-16 is a beauity.
BK. Thanks it took me 4 corsairs to finally do the salvadorian one.
Gamera. Yes is a nice break form the blue ones..
latest pics. gloss clear and all those decals... some dry time and weathering.
What a spectacular idea for your tribute Chris! Good to see youngsters getting in on the hobby.

Please pass on to the young man, a job well done, and my congratulations.
Outta da park Chris, truely the spirit of Toshi. Well done my friend.
we're modelers it's what we do
WOW Mongoose- you guys did a superb job on the Spinosaurus! Great work and always good to see a youngster interested in building a cool model!
TheMongoose Hey Dodgy here's our finished model by Chris and Clayton, Pegasus' 1/24 Spinosaurus Done in memory of Toshi and how he enjoyed teaching and working with Ezra. It was 17 parts all together. Perfect for a 6 year old. It needed some adult help in that there was a bunch of flash in the hole for the head that needed cleared away before it would fit. The rest was almost a snap fit for him, the poeces are clocked so they can only go together one way. can you believe he stayed focussed the whole time. Had a great morning and he was so proud to tell his dad he "painted it all myself"! I believe we may have a new modeler in our midst

Keyserj There sure is a lot of great work going in this thread. I especially like the look of that Corsair in camo crown r7. Been bogged down trying to get past painting but the stripes are now on and I can totally see why Lewbud loved tiger meet schemes.

Good on you. Good way to get another generation interested. Hopfully he'll stay interested and add more catagories of builds in the future.
You should have Dodgy add him to the roster, and the pic of the finished product. Would make him proud as a peacock.
This build is for Toshi & Ezra. Toshi loved teaching Ezra to build models. I remember him letting the little guy just paint it however he wanted. I think i even remember a NMF B24 or B25 that Ezra painted with a brush! Ezra was learning to use the airbrush if I remember correctly. So all this got me thinking I should see if my nephew would like to build a model.Asked him back in November when visiting my mom and he said sure. He wanted to uild a dinosaur, a Spinosaurus is what he wanted. Made popular by the latest Jurssic Park movie. I said I'd see if I could find one. He said, "it has to be a meat eater, NO plant eaters" he emphasized!
Had a look around and the only plastic one i found was fairly expensive. When i visited again in December he brought it up and asked if I had found anything. That sealed it, off i went to order the Spinosaurus.
Which gets us to tonight. I brought the model up to his place and we got started on it. He was excited and worked on the whole thing. When we sat down and he opened the box he said “now it’s time to be a big boy”! This thing must weigh 3 or 4 pounds. The body is solid, not hollow. We needed a little painters tape to keep the tail in place lol letting it dry tonight and then tomorrow we're going to paint it. I brought a bunch of Vallejo model color and a couple brushes for him to use

Gamera. Thanks bud. I'm pretty much done with this camo and ready for clear gloss.
excuse my B-17..
Thanks Nick, love how the camo is coming on your Corsair!
Thanks Brandon! Looking forward to seeing you get revved up!
These decals were funny, they're a name brand but they had more glue on them than I've ever seen- it was coming off in lumps when I wet them. Still on drying it turned invisible so no complaints!
Gamera Tony: Coming along nicely! I got the Corsair post-shaded (I think it's called) over the weekend and started decaling. Not sure how well anything shows up in the harsh artifical lighting though.
