Build of the Tamiya Corsair continues with the completion of the model kit this has been an amazing kit to build. I recommend it to anyone that wants to construct a premium model. Fit and finish was one of the best if not the best. With a high parts count you can rest assured that that Tamiya has insured the finest fidelity in detail.

I painted this kit with Testors Model Masters Acrylic Paint. With a wash of thinned enamel to high light the recessed panel
lines. Weathering was completed with a fade affect while airbrushing the kit. I like to paint the base color and then add a highlight to panel interior space. I do this with a mixing of base and one part white.
The worn metal affect is achieved with the use of a silver prism artist pencil, high light the rivet detail and create a worn look at the edges of panels. On the underside to the aircraft I used a wash of burnt sienna and black enamel wash. I followed this up by airbrushing the exhaust streaks and oil staining.
