Just finished this up, including the antennae wire and hydraulic fittings in the wingfolds (not in the pics). Converted the -1D to Pappy Boyington’s -1A. Over 3 months, and around 100 hours into this thing…probably the biggest challenge I’ve undertaken so far and I pushed my skills to the limits…Hope you like it!
Great looking bird. [bow] Now if I could only finish the ones I am working on lol.
absolutely gorgeous!

now that is an excellent lookin’ bird. i love corsairs. i love the weathering as well. looks like preshading. is it? i love the wheels too. great job. keep on postin’ so i can steal some of your techniques. later.

To all above!
That is some great weathering… very subtle!
Thanks one and all for the kind words and encouragement…!This was a challenging build, but worth it when it was finished. Yes, I did preshade the panel lines, then post-shaded the Sea Blue and Internediate Blue panels as well. Burnt Umber oil wash into the panel lines, then an overall “Coral Dusting” with light blue and white pastel chalks. The tri-color scheme is probably my favorite US camo scheme!
Nice “Ensign Eliminator” ! Foklding the wings must save shelf space in that scale.
Great model!!! Now you have to spend another 3 months and 100+ hours to build Pappy’s P-40 in AVG markings using the Trumpeter 1/32 P-40B kit.
Looks damn nice! Bravo-zulu!
That is one fine corsair!
You did an amazing job on the paintjob and weathering…
Regards, Dan
Sharp looking Corsair! Thanks for sharing the build with us.
nice, very nice.
Even Pappy would be proud. What kit is that?
I’ll bet he’s flying up in Vall Halla!
