Very nice. I love the Corsair. Building an 82% scale replica, myself. I love your paint job. I want mine to look like a tired old veteran when it is done.

No, they don't unfortunately. They should be the no surround on overall Dark Sea Blue for a -1D.

Then the color is wrong as well as the red bordered stencil Cory??? Unless that Dark Sea Blue is faded to hell and gone.....
Petadel, did u use that color and weather it up like that??

That may be DSB on the top, but it looks more like medium blue to me, and the bottom should not be white. I'm not trying to nitpick petadel!

This is the squadron scheme I was following, The technique of weathering has nearly all destroyed the dark sea blue - I was quite violent with the thinners and rags. Even rubbed of the paitner jolly roger - Damn (missed that after it was gone) - may have to paint it again !!
The red aorund the insignia was tken from the attachment again heavily weatheed as the tropical sun , UV and rain should have played havoc with the paint job.
I have not converted much of the airframe from the trumpeter kit in so far a making it a -1A. The light sea gray - well not much of it left on the belly may look white, but when you see near the tail gear doors it has a slight grey tone.
BTW - This was my first serious attempt at weathiering -rather than just panel delineation - so that P40 in the desert had better be ware !!!
