**** DONE: GB-61 1/48 Vought AU-1 Corsair – Carrier and Maritime Aircraft

[T Bolt]

Those bombs look very good Glenn. The stripes are not easy to get right.

They're not perfect but they turned out alright, but they were a PAIN. I spent 2 or 3 times the time on them than I did on all the decals on the airplane.

Looks very nice Glenn

Worth the effort Glenn, they look great.

With all, great job Glenn.

If, I say IF I need another Corsair it will be a VMA like this one!
Well done.

Thanks guys
I spent quite a bit of time doing the panel lines last night. Tamiya panel line accent over the gray and white and gray tempera over the black anti-glare on the nose.

Really nice paint job. The work put in to the panel lines was well worth the effort. A very authentic appearance.

Looks great. Tamiya panel line solution is not my friend.

I was going to ask what it's like.
Not good for you obviously Andy - would MIG Ammo PLW (or similar) be better, or a simple home brew mix?
How did you find it Glenn? Looks great in any case.

Lovely work so far Glenn!

I have found it to be "hot", i.e. it softens my acrylic gloss coats, including Tamiya's if you can believe it. I've switched to artist oils thinned with mineral spirits.

Cheers Andy.

It was the first time I've used it for an entire model. It had a seal cote of Future, so it didn't affect the paint at all. It worked very well on the top where it was Model Master gloss gull gray enamel and 2 cotes of Future. I put the panel line accent on, let it dry and wiped the surface with mineral spirits. In the bottom I didn't get quite so good results. I had used Testors square bottle flat enamel paint and it took quite a few cotes of Future to gloss it up enough for decals, and the panel line accent didn't flow into the panel lines as well and some came off with the mineral spirits. Next time I will use less Future. It's always a learning experience.

That does look the part, man!
A proud Marine!

Cheers for that Glenn.
