10February 9, 2025testing out the wing fold, I have to say it is pretty fragile...
11February 9, 2025I did some riveting along the way before priming.
12February 9, 2025Comparison between Corsair and Hellcat, personally I like wingfold for the sake of uniqueness and space saving.
13February 9, 2025primed and preshaded.
14February 9, 2025Trying out new stencils to make it a little 'watery' effect.
15February 9, 2025Painted with C328 Gloss Sea Blue.
16February 9, 2025Paint comparison.
17February 9, 2025Decal been set, the aftermarket decal I got is quite old and on the verge of yellowing.
18February 9, 2025Decal comparison.
19February 9, 2025Did some internal Chromate-Zinc paint for wingfold.
20February 9, 2025Did some wash with industrial earth. I am still unsure to go ahead with lighter oil color...
21February 16, 2025I started to weather it with silver pencils for most of the notable panels. mostly on wing root and gun bay panels. Also with some Tamiya smoke mixed with flat black on gun port and exhausts, but I made a mistake on the ratio for it.
22February 16, 2025Fitting everything in for final assembly.
23February 16, 2025Comparison of all finished Corsair and Hellcat
24February 16, 2025some final wash for the wing fold internals.
25February 16, 2025Rigging for the radio cable.
26February 16, 2025It is finished! I have to say that I broke one of the wings for several time as it is quite fragile to get it wing folded, but alas it is my first time for it after all. I am unsure whether it is due to my skill issue or simply the joint point is that fragile (as even the undamaged ones still wiggly). I can't even attach the point for holding the wing to the fuselage, so I didn't use it. I am however still satisfied with the end result
