Thanks, yes I am trying to clear out some WWII stuff, so I can get back into the more modern stuff. My wife says I have to clear some of the stash before I can buy anymore. LOL.

I am in the decal stage, Tamiya decals suck. I tried my first attempt at the hair spray weathering/chipping effects. I will get some pictures up. I have been lacking in that. I guess that is what happens when you have 3 builds going on at once. LOL.

Thank you Sebastian. I build pretty much every day, for awhile at least.

I am retired, so other than work around the house that is pretty much what I do, build models. Thanks Augie. I still don't think I am as good as you.LOL.

Hello Clifford, the Corsair looks so glossy. Is it the color? Which color do you use.

It is not finished, that is the gloss coat for applying decals. It will now get weathered and then get a matte coat. I used gloss white medium blue grey and gloss sea blue. It will all get toned down.
