Fantastic job on the Corsair and you make a fine presentation. Your models are definitely at the level of a serious competitor whenever entered into a contest! 😎
Thanks bud :) I like mine to be beaten up since it goes against a lot of what the aircraft modellers tend to think. For competition though it has bitten me when I hear “airplanes don’t get that dirty.” You’ve been around -16s and know what they can look like :D
I'm one year into the hobby and I have beautiful, chipped, but otherwise pretty pristine looking Tamiya 1/48 Corsair (just one colour, the very dark gloss sea blue) sitting on my shelf and I really want to get into weathering with oils on this one. This video will come in super handy!
Great video, most of the real F4Us I have seen that have not been refinished had a red-pink metal treatment vs the yellow zink. Some old photos of the time also show this as well as the yellow which used in frontline repair..
My understanding is the earlier ones have that salmon primer colour and later on in the series it went over to zinc. My birdcage I did four years ago had the pink tail wheel well
For those who don't think that these aircraft weathered this much, I would refer them to pictures of aircraft flying from Henderson field, or marjuro field as a place to look. The birds were in primitive conditions. The crew chiefs and mechanics did the best they could. But, at the end of the day, the amount of weathering you add is up to you.
Wow, you never fail to impress! Stunning build, paintwork and weathering I can't compliment this build enough! Any chance we could see a 1/144 airliner or large 1/48 or larger helicopter? Would really like to see you detail those sorts of kits! Regards from the UK
Thanks Mark! I have a 1/48 Sea King in progress to be built as a CH-124. I’m also using it as a 3D printing test bed so it will be next year in editing. I’ve designed the winch and internals since it’s empty. I have progress shots on my IG and Facebook accounts. And for a large 1/48, I have the Kinetic Greyhound. That will get the same 3D love
@@TheModelGuy Excellent! I've got the 1/48 Sea King to convert into the RAF HAR.3 SAR variant, will be interesting to see how you approach the build for reference. Also my personal favourite helicopter, we have a few flying ones in collections over here in the UK, as a new helicopter pilot I'd love to get behind the controls one day. Would you say a 3d printer is essential for modelling? I'm trying to detail my kits but paying off flight school fees I can't really justify the cost of a printer at the moment!
@@markmingard6882 A 3D Printer is a nice tool to have. But it’s only feasible if you are printing a lot of stuff. I wouldn’t say it’s a must have. Just make friends with someone who has one lol
Excellent work on the corsair! I'm just wondering though, after the oil weathering process do you then put down a varnish or leave it at that? I just spent a bit of time weathering up a prop for a desert P-40 I'm working on and then it was all lost to the varnish coat! Lucky it was just the prop!
I find the oil can bring in a lot of cool effects. Especially being able to blend them and layer them. Airbrushing can give you a very soft look but you need a very tight spray pattern to do it.
Hey Robbie Love your work, really enjoy your videos. I have one question if I may. When you say your “mr color zinc chromate” is lacquer. Do you use the GSI gunze range or do you use the standard acrylic mr color 351 and thin it with lacquer?
@@TheModelGuy thank you very much. So this might be opening a can of worms, so the Mr Color 351 is an acrylic based paint right? So in your opinion and this might be what I am thinking too is…; when thinning an acrylic paint like the 351 with lacquer levelling thinner do you think its more like a lacquer then in terms of durability?

great job, thanks for sharing...
Regarding scale, 1/32 really gives a pro like you an opportunity to demonstrate your skill!
Thanks Frederick. It also is more challenging because things are much more visible that wouldn’t be in 1/48

great work and informative video!
*So interesting weathering step by step video! Thank you so much!*
That's bad ass man! Looks like I'm looking at an actual for real Corsair here. Great work!
Next level work

My tamiya 1/48 corsair was waaaaay dirtier than this one! Beautiful build sir!
Like the oil work and sun bleaching effect you achieved.
Really beautiful job. I'm about 3/4 through and your tips for weathereing come at a perfect time. Thanks for making the video(s) dh

Fantastic build!!! Great work. That chipping is remarkable!!!!
Stunning work
Incredible work and excellent instructions
Great job.
Nice job 😊👍
Nice video very well done 👍👍 It will help me with my one I now it's not the same kit but I can try out oils
Gran trabajo magnífica maqueta 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
wish you would add the pilots, I enjoy the quality of your work
Maybe on the next one :)
What a great job! It's just impressive, I wonder how long took you this build

Excellent work. We watch the same channels. Did you put any kind of wash on the harness, as it looks a little clean, if you know what I mean?
Beauty. Really digging the streaking and dual layer chipping. How do you like oil based exhaust stains compared to painting them on?

Hey Robbie

Hi Stefan,
I use the Mr Color 351 and thin it with Mr Leveling Thinner
@@TheModelGuy thank you very much.

Hey Robbie, I have a question: why do you never build in 72 scale? Even something like the B-17 you opted to do in 48 scale, so I'm curious.
It's just not my scale. I know there are some nice kits in 1/72 but I enjoy 1/48.
What type of paint brush are you using for the chipping?
I believe thats a 000 army painter brush. Only comes out for minute detail
Would help next time if you actually told us what products you were using especially for the exhaust
