Looks good Dirk, just remember not to get too heavy/carried away with it....
One thing I learned was that the paint faded pretty quickly over time due to the environment and sea water... I accomplished this fading by lighteneing up the blue somewhat and sparying it into the center of the panels and feathering it out to the panel lines.....
I know ur not using an airbrush, so what I would recommend is trying ur hand at some chalk pastel work, using a light blue stick perhaps and lightly brushing it on the center of the panels and fading it out to the panel line....
The reason I say this is that unless the Corsair was sittin on a dirt/coral runway, ur not really gonna get the kind of color in ur panel lines that u got right now... Some dirt and filth yea, but the majority is gonna be dark/oilish in apprearance, not light..
Also, the areas on the wings under the star and bars was fabric and I think the wash u have there is gonna be too heavy, not much build up there as opposed to the metal panel lines...
nice looking bird Dirk.
