Chipping Time! AHOY!!!!! Now time to see if it comes together. The left wing chipped. I make small chips and then try to grow them using a wet brush. The leading edges and the wing root being chipped. Happy with the pattern. Right Wing Chipped. But the main thing is the shiny decal. I got fed up with it and glazed it with grey tones from Vallejo. It first highlighted the rivets but also dulled the shine a little and I was happy with it. A bit of trouble keeping the brush strokes from appearing. After 2 hours, I succeeded without putting too much water onto the decal and delaminating it. Right Cockpit areas is a tricky section to do it not too much until overdoing. The right wing being chipped with shallow Zinc Chromate. Because, below the Zinc Chromate comes the actual bare metal. The doors of the machine guns loading bay recieved lots of attention as its the place where the action is. Its being loaded with 9 yards of ammo per gun on each wing. Leading edges and wing roots being chipped with Zinc Chromate green. I will move towards the folding lines soon. Canopy areas being chipped with Zinc Chromate as well.

VOUGHT F4U-1D CORSAIRThe F4U Corsair was a formidable combination of speed and firepower and was the mount of numerous aces during WWII. This kit depicts the F4U-1D variant, which was first deployed aboard U.S. Navy aircraft carriers in April 1944. Distinctive features such as the higher pilot seat position, taller tailwheel, and wider propeller blades have been accurately reproduced, and the model may also be assembled with wings folded. A pilot figure, drop tanks, and two types of canopy windshield are included together with markings for three aircraft flown by U.S. aces.

In Part 1, the focus was all about chipping and fading. In Part 2, things will shift to dirt and grime and oil and grease. Let’s get filthy!
