Ira Kepford's Corsair

Some slight mods, like the fuselage antennas and extra weathering.

Then I realized that Ira Kepford's Corsair didn't have those antennas, and had just the whip antenna instead. Also added a little detail on the cockpit. Not as good as BBI's...but eh.

Added some wirings for the antennas and stuff.

And I replaced the skinny tires with thick ones.

Very nice detailing work. It really makes your Kepford corsair stand out.

How'd you make the pitot tube? especially the tip? Looks real good...

Fantastic work - looks far better than the redone 21c version - and light years ahead of the original

What did you do to lighten the top blue color? Was it a wash? I'm curious because I want to weather some of my planes. You've captured the dirty, dusty, faded paint look I would like to do.

Thanks for the compliments, fellas.

I used chalk pastels to lighten the dark blue color, then after sealing it, I used water color wash for streaks, oil marks, etc.

Man thats very nice! Too bad BBI wont re-paint their Corsairs in the markings of the famous VF-17 Corsairs. I would love to see markings for Hedrick and Blackburn or even Kepford. But again nice job.
