RandoI like the way you masked off the engine cowling, I "came up" with the same idea to tape it from the inside on a recent build so that inner lip would get sprayed. Awesome build!

Alec KLooks like I am a bit behind… fantastic work so far, the chipping is FANtastic 👍

Jakub FialaThanks a lot, gents, for your kind words!
Alec, i'm really glad, you like the chipping. This is my first attempt to chip multiply layers of different colors. I was in suspense how it will look like. Fortunately it seems to me that it's OK 🙂

Alec KI think you succeeded magnificently. And on first attempt?! Looks really great, especially coupled with the shading. I think these pacific birds are a great canvas for such methods. Again, great work 👍

Jakub FialaThanks mates!
Ludvíku, keep your hat on. There is still a long way to go.....and i´m ready to screw it up anytime 😄
I´ve started to work on fabric areas.

Ludvík KružíkWell, I'll save the hat tip for when the model's ready. But the work in progress is also worthy of high praise. 👍

Jakub FialaSome progress. I have finished spraying of insignias, applied decals and panel line wash.

Simon O'GormanThis is just magnificent. One of my favourite things about coming back to this hobby after decades away is being able to see people doing work like this. Amazing stuff.

JohnExcellent work: I appreciate the detailed photographs. Will have to try your technique for nav lights as shown on page 44.

After short holidays, i continue with weathering of upper areas.

Jakub FialaThank you Juergen!
Work with oils done. I think, next photos will be pictures of finished model.
15 May 2023, 18:07
Simon NagorsnikWhat the hell?!
That´s so awesome!!
Even if it's not finished yet, but it already looks overwhelming.

bughunterAll the work you put into the many steps of the paint job is paying off big time!
15 May 2023, 20:14
Jakub FialaThank you very much mates!
@bughunter Now if only i had your skills with detailing... 😉
15 May 2023, 20:45
Ludvík KružíkWhen I see the skills you have and the skills bughunter has, I think I would need the skill you two have. 😄
16 May 2023, 22:25
Jakub FialaThank you, mates!
Giorgios, i´m glad, that my photos are useful for you
Ludvíku i´m pretty sure, that your skills are of a very high level
22 May 2023, 10:14
Ludvík KružíkThe surface of the Corsair looks very convincing. I like it very much. 👍
Thank you for the compliment about my skills. 🙂 However, I think I still have a lot to learn, especially in the area of painting.

Jennifer FranklinThat is a remarkable end result. It was interesting following all the steps you outlined, thank you for showing your progression.

Jakub FialaDík, Jaryno!
Thank you, Rui and Jennifer!
Actually the work on the model is done, but I´m not satisfied with the fit of the open canopy. When i will get the new vacuformed one, i will make final pictures...

CaptGPFPerfection - the faded coloring, the weathering, the chipping - you did this kit justice. Tamiya should pay you to build their kits for display.

Jakub FialaThank you very much CaptGPF! I was very pleased with your comment, but i'm sure you are exaggeratig a bit🙂

littleblackbearBeautifully done Jakub. The weathering on this is some of the best I've seen.

Michael KohlFantastic birdcage and the look I am striving for in my F4U.
Question: you used a red anticorrosive paint at the wheel wells and the interior of the fuselage. Do you know by chance how this color is called and whether it was used at later versions of the Corsair too? I only knew of the zinc chromate yellow as anticorrosive and its mixture with black as interior green. I would appreciate if you could share your knowledge.

Jakub FialaThank you, gents!
Michael, as i found on the internet, the color is called salmon pink primer and was only used for early Corsairs
Nice pictures here: forum.largescaleplan..on-primer-questions/

Michael KohlThanks a lot Jakub. That sounds like I can stick with zinc chromate yellow for my 1D.
