Tim T Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Honza, I look at that cockpit and weep. I wish someone would show me how to do that as mine always look like I painted them with a roller!
robw_uk Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 with that amount of rivets I am surpised you can't just snap it apart.......
timbo33 Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Honza, I look at that cockpit and weep. I wish someone would show me how to do that as mine always look like I painted them with a roller! Yes, how DO you paint like that!!???? It looks fantastic - I hope it's just that you're 19 years old and I'm 53 so it's a question of eyesight!!!!
Honza K. Posted September 29, 2010 Author Posted September 29, 2010 Thanks gentlemans! Step by step for cockpit? 1) surfacer 2) base colors 3) brushed (black), panels... 4) clear coat 5) wash of all parts with black oil color 6) clear coat 7) brushed details on panels ..... 8) clear coat 9) drybrush with oil color (white + bit of green) 10 flat coat..... Now I am ready for colors I thing... Have somebody some picture of wheel bays F4U-1D in only Blue scheme? I thing that wheelbays must be blue like the scheme... thanks!
David H Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Hi Honza, When the F4U-1Ds and FG-1Ds were originally rolled out of the factory, the wheel wells were Interior Green or Yellow Zinc Chromate, depending on the production batch. Either colour seems to be acceptable. Wheel well doors were most likely interior green or YZC on the insides, but GSB is also possible. Landing gear struts and wheels were aluminium paint. Only if the Corsair survived long enough to under go re-work, were the struts and wheel wells re painted with Gloss Sea Blue. It appears that the aircraft was assembled, and as it neared the end of the production line, they hydraulics were tested, the gear retracted, and the Fuselage, Cowling were sprayed with Gloss and Flat Sea blue at this time. Items like the vertical fin, rudder, flaps, ailerons, and outer wing panels were painted prior to installation on the completed airframe, so just the fuselage remained to be painted. Neat choice of markings. Haven't seen anybody do USS Wasp yet. Thanks for posting!! david PS- For an in depth discussion on interior colours of WWII USN aircraft, there's an excellent article found in the "props" section at www.aircraftresourcecenter.com.

Honza K. Posted October 1, 2010 Author Posted October 1, 2010 Thanks! David I found some photos of F4U-1D which have bays in blue and silver gear and wheels...... I let the wheel bays in blue... some progress..
dr_gn Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Thanks! David I found some photos of F4U-1D which have bays in blue and silver gear and wheels...... I let the wheel bays in blue... some progress.. Awesome work. I notice you pre-shaded the panel lines, but it looked as if this was completely obscured by the blue paint, but then the panel lines now appear shaded again. Did you post shade them, or did the pre-shading appear again after varnishing? Cheers,

(base blue + bit of light blue)
