David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Wednesday, 28 August, 2024) Well, all in all, a capital job of it with your build of Tamiya’s 1:32nd-scale kit of the Chance Vought F4U-1D Corsair USN/USMC Carrier-Based Fighter in gloss dark sea blue over all. Your exterior painting technique of highlighting surface detail (I think most are the tiny “pinholes” indicating points of spot-welding, Dzus fasteners, possibly some flush riveting, etc.; as an aspiring novelist, essayist, classical vocalist, etc., however, I hardly can claim to be any sort of industrial or military expert) with slightly lighter tints of blue was both highly effective and visually striking! It actually makes for a genuinely æsthetic presentation, meritorious not merely of its combat formidability but of its artistry. Thank you. What next have you before you? Perhaps you might continue with Tamiya’s other 1:32nd-scale Corsair kits. They would make for a remarkable side-by-side display, especially with the more colourful plumage of the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Theatre tri-colour camouflage scheme of flat dark sea blue on the horizontal surfaces, intermediate blue on the vertical surfaces, and on the ventral side, gloss white; or those of the Corsairs that joined with the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm. Even those of the New Zealand Air Force-natural metal over all, would you believe?-and the Royal Australian Air Force would bring to such a presentation their unique touches.
David, thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful comment. It is interesting that you have picked up on the artistry. I think I did mention it in the video, but I have evolved over time from a "paint by numbers" approach to being a bit more subtle - or artistic view - or attempting to. Among my many other hobbies or interests is fine art, so rather than watercolours I am enjoying playing with an airbrush and am seeing it, maybe not as sculpture, but as a three dimensional canvas to paint. A bit beyond the blue goes here and the yellow goes there, which is where I started. Of course there are many who are much better at it than myself, and there are many different techniques to achieve different effects, pre shading and post shading and a million other methods. But I try and have fun! As to what is next? I am currently working on a small 1/72 RAF Percival Provost Trainer. (I like the red and white scheme). And after a large and detailed build it is nice to do something simpler. I also have a 1/48 MkIX Spitfire tempting me. Unfortunately I have a small operation next week, which will see me down for a few days, but I will have some time to think about what is next on my workbench. Anyway thank you once again for your comment. All the best and many regards. Scott, Sydney, Australia.
David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Tuesday, 15 October, 2024) At 11:02 in your video, the yellow ring round the nose of the bomb is a colour-coded mark to signify that it is live ordnance (to differentiate from an unarmed practice weapon).
Thank you so much! I always feel so dumb when the obvious is pointed out to me, but greatly appreciate learning new things. Thank you again for the comment. Scott.
@@Modellers-Workbench , I say quite the same thing, Scott: I delight in learning something I did not know. Thank you for your build video, and for your pleasant manner.
This isn't that big compared to 1/24th scale, I guess it's what you get used to. I just started mine. What blue did you use please? Tamiya Decals are simply awful imho as they are way too thick. One way or another I will be painting the markings on.
I used Mr Color 328 (FS15050). My only regret is not painting the markings on, especially the arrows which with a sharp knife are no problem. I ended up trying to be too smart using a Cricut machine which just got me fed up and I moved on.

@@Modellers-Workbench I have a Cricut, other that circles and letters it's quite a learning curve. Thanks for the colour number 👍
When you have finished, do give us a good look, please!
