Finished up the Arii Corsair last week. This was the first time I used pastels to highlight panel lines. It may be a little heavy but I like it.
Hudgeons, very smooth looking paint job. Can you share your thoughts about the Arii kit? Also, which paints did you use on the exterior? I really like the look of your Corsair.
Nice looking build.
The kit is good with some work and AM details.
I added a parts from a True Details cockpit set and Verlinden Update. I also added the engine from Verlinden. Moskit exhausts were used also, but were alot of work.
I used Model Master enamels throughout. Zinc Chromate was used on the cockpit and then I added washes of black tempera paint until it looked right.
Nice build, the weathering looks good to me.
I did the Arii Corsair, and I thought it was a great one for the extra decals Tamiya throws in with theirs.
I did mine in the Jolly Rogers markings (with the red surrounds on the insignias) that came with Tammy’s Brewster Bomber.
The main thing is that I don’t recommend is their insignia decals, as their colors tend to be off, but their markings tend to be well researched, such as the “Penrod and Sam” P-47 that I am looking at using for a Tammy razerback kit in combination with the kit’s insignia markings.

Nice build. I have a couple in my stash. I’m thinking the canopy is all one piece. Did you cut yours apart?
Great job! Really seems to have “the look.”
Nice work on that Corsair! I like the paint job- very well done.
wayne - I did cut mine apart. A squadron replacement would have looked better but I don’t handle those very well.
I like it! Nice smooth paint finish, and I like the tail markings! Good job![tup]
wow! I’ll use your build as a reference to my own which is going on right now.
How did you take care of the joints where the fuse bottom molded to the wings joined that actual fuselage?
Very nice work. The finish looks well done. I think the panels look pretty good. Just enough to accent them. It’s hard with dark colors.

Nice job, you did the Arii offering justice!

All these Navy birds being psoted make me wanna blow the dust off the 3/4 done Helldiver.
Great looking Corsair.
jinithith2 - that joint really wasn’t a problem. It all lined up pretty well and then a shot of super glue was all it took.
must be my doing then. I originally planned to add some spacers under the molded fuse part and get the pieces all aligned, but the glueing the wing level occupied me so much that I didnt have time to get it lined up properly
Nice job on the build! The panel lines look good to me as well; the only area it looks a tad too heavy is over the white on the decals.
