A bare metal Corsair?

[Bladerunner]

Hey hey!

Yup there was one flying for the RNZAF



I'm doing this one as part of a bmf group build




I'll be painting on the nav lights after fixing the Oops I did



Decals are on their way from Ventura decals. Metal is two shades of alclad and the white and black are tamiya acrylics.

Well isnt that nifty! Never saw one of those before.

so cool!!! what kit is that?

 

[the Baron]

Very cool! Congrats for finding a NMF Corsair in service! I have an old AMT kit that I will eventually backdate to the prototype, which was not quite NMF, but aluminum lacquer with USN chrome yellow upper wing surfaces.

I like how your panel work has come out, looks very authentic.

...what kit is that?

Thanks! This is the Tamiya 1/48 Corsair. Its the 4th I have built... its OOB so it went together very fast.

Man that is gonna look so sweet! Great call on this build.

 

[Quaralane]

Definitely an interesting look for the Corsair

Small update: I became a daddy a few weeks ago! So I have been doing a lot of burping and late night backrubs but she does occasionally sleep!

Here is the plane with some washes

This finish is wicked!
Nice to see a corsair that's not just glossy blue.

Well done.

Excellent finish! Nice job of varying the bare metal finish across different panels, very realistic.
