    Academys A-F4 Corsair - First attempt in 20 years :)

    Thanks Guys! I went with 20% white and 087 blue it came out a little light. But I think the clearcoat and the wash will take care of that. One thing is clear: I need to practice my pre-shading how to put on the colors following that. And practicing with my airbrush making thin lines. Or get a...

    Thanks Myke! Got the plane painted today, mixed my own color, at least trying. You be the judge, I´m kinda unsure if came out ok. First went well with just royal blue and black and it looked great. As I put some white in it, that´s when everything went to shit and I struggled for a bit...

    Academys A-F4 Corsair - First attempt in 20 years :)

    The green is "interior green" that I´ve painted the outside of the canopy with = the green is seen from the inside! And the other green all over the place is just me practicing! I do agree that the Academy kits are below Hasegawa/Tamiya! I´ve have a couple of older revell-kits with raised...

    Academys A-F4 Corsair - First attempt in 20 years :)

    Im not great at reviewing kits, but my feel for this kit is that it was easy and fast to build. The fit was overall really good exept from: the undercarrige/wingsection needed some filler and sanding where it met the back part of the body. The engine/oil coolers on the wings, close to the...

    Academys A-F4 Corsair - First attempt in 20 years :)

    Hi! Surfed the youtube-site and found this Asian guy sitting in his modelroom and just doing wonderful work. I think you know who he is ;) Haven´t finished a model in 20 years (I´m turning 37 soon) so I thought: I got all these kits, all them compressors, airbrushes, brushes, colors and so...
