In the final segment of the Corsair series, the paint comes off and oils are used to fade the paints.

Fantastic job on the Corsair and you make a fine presentation. Your models are definitely at the level of a serious competitor whenever entered into a contest! 😎

Thanks bud :) I like mine to be beaten up since it goes against a lot of what the aircraft modellers tend to think. For competition though it has bitten me when I hear “airplanes don’t get that dirty.” You’ve been around -16s and know what they can look like :D

I'm one year into the hobby and I have beautiful, chipped, but otherwise pretty pristine looking Tamiya 1/48 Corsair (just one colour, the very dark gloss sea blue) sitting on my shelf and I really want to get into weathering with oils on this one. This video will come in super handy!

Regarding scale, 1/32 really gives a pro like you an opportunity to demonstrate your skill!

Thanks Frederick. It also is more challenging because things are much more visible that wouldn’t be in 1/48

Great video, most of the real F4Us I have seen that have not been refinished had a red-pink metal treatment vs the yellow zink. Some old photos of the time also show this as well as the yellow which used in frontline repair..

My understanding is the earlier ones have that salmon primer colour and later on in the series it went over to zinc. My birdcage I did four years ago had the pink tail wheel well

For those who don't think that these aircraft weathered this much, I would refer them to pictures of aircraft flying from Henderson field, or marjuro field as a place to look. The birds were in primitive conditions. The crew chiefs and mechanics did the best they could. But, at the end of the day, the amount of weathering you add is up to you.

Wow, you never fail to impress! Stunning build, paintwork and weathering I can't compliment this build enough! Any chance we could see a 1/144 airliner or large 1/48 or larger helicopter? Would really like to see you detail those sorts of kits! Regards from the UK

Thanks Mark! I have a 1/48 Sea King in progress to be built as a CH-124. I’m also using it as a 3D printing test bed so it will be next year in editing. I’ve designed the winch and internals since it’s empty. I have progress shots on my IG and Facebook accounts. And for a large 1/48, I have the Kinetic Greyhound. That will get the same 3D love

@@TheModelGuy Excellent! I've got the 1/48 Sea King to convert into the RAF HAR.3 SAR variant, will be interesting to see how you approach the build for reference. Also my personal favourite helicopter, we have a few flying ones in collections over here in the UK, as a new helicopter pilot I'd love to get behind the controls one day. Would you say a 3d printer is essential for modelling? I'm trying to detail my kits but paying off flight school fees I can't really justify the cost of a printer at the moment!

@@markmingard6882 A 3D Printer is a nice tool to have. But it’s only feasible if you are printing a lot of stuff. I wouldn’t say it’s a must have. Just make friends with someone who has one lol

Excellent work on the corsair! I'm just wondering though, after the oil weathering process do you then put down a varnish or leave it at that? I just spent a bit of time weathering up a prop for a desert P-40 I'm working on and then it was all lost to the varnish coat! Lucky it was just the prop!

@davispen 2 жыл бұрын

Excellent work. We watch the same channels. Did you put any kind of wash on the harness, as it looks a little clean, if you know what I mean?

@vmoney9106 2 жыл бұрын

Beauty. Really digging the streaking and dual layer chipping. How do you like oil based exhaust stains compared to painting them on?

@TheModelGuy 2 жыл бұрын

I find the oil can bring in a lot of cool effects. Especially being able to blend them and layer them. Airbrushing can give you a very soft look but you need a very tight spray pattern to do it.

Hey Robbie Love your work, really enjoy your videos. I have one question if I may. When you say your “mr color zinc chromate” is lacquer. Do you use the GSI gunze range or do you use the standard acrylic mr color 351 and thin it with lacquer?

@TheModelGuy 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Stefan, I use the Mr Color 351 and thin it with Mr Leveling Thinner

@stefancilliers3547 2 жыл бұрын

@@TheModelGuy thank you very much. So this might be opening a can of worms, so the Mr Color 351 is an acrylic based paint right? So in your opinion and this might be what I am thinking too is…; when thinning an acrylic paint like the 351 with lacquer levelling thinner do you think its more like a lacquer then in terms of durability?
