Hi,

Micro progress
But it was a very busy day:

- Sport early this morning (Japan GP practice),
- small flight just after the morning sport to enjoy this sunny day,
- housework (garden ...), but some connection with aviation!

Hi,

Thank you A4K.

Small progress on the Corsair.

I wasn't satisfy with the grey color.
Parts masked waiting for the new color.

Paint "research".

Aeromaster Blue Gray for the upper surface:

I love that paint!

Same part after post shading of Blue Grey from Gunze on the rivets + light coat of Klir + oils ( W&N Raw Umber for details, Titanium White for effects) + Micro Flat

This one after post shading of Blue Grey from Gunze on the rivets + light coat of Klir + oils ( W&N Raw Umber for details, Titanium White and Olive Green for effects) + Micro Flat

Here, just Gunze Blue Grey with a light coat of Micro Flat

Same thing for the lower surface color.
Comparison between Aeromaster and Gunze.
Heavy black pre-shade...
