[@dougmackenzie5976]

This is an absolutely stunning build of one of the most iconic planes in the world!! Nice that you chose the bird cage version as they aren't as common. This build, as with all of your builds, is filled with magnificent weathering. I was in aviation for over 30 years, working on heavies (C-130s, P-3 Orions, Boeing 777s, and so on) and you have really nailed weathering. Keep up the masterful work, David!!

[@JoeSmith-zv4ic]

wow. Excellent video as usual.. You made me buy and build a model at 30. After 18 years without doing one. It took me back to my childhood and I really enjoyed it. So thankyou. I've been in a rut with the modelling and not bother for a year, due to constant issues with spray pen. But you may have just inspired me to return!

There is a reason you don't see the pros using brushes to paint an entire kit. Or build Airfix .

[@BillHalliwell]

G'day David, I just got through commenting on a recent video (FEB22) in which you did a simple build on a 1/72 Thunderbolt, brilliantly. Here, in this video, you showcase the other end of your creative skills. David, you have the hands of a surgeon; I kid you not, I used to work with surgeons. I would love to do the scratch accessories you do but as I'm in my 67th year, I pretty much know that isn't going to happen; although I'll give it at least one go. As I used to work around military aircraft, I'm a stickler for accuracy and weathering. Your interpretation of this USMC Corsair is spot on. The Corsair was one of the most effective, lethal aircraft in WW2, yet as you demonstrated with research pics, it had one of the dirtiest power plants of the entire war. Naval and Marine people have a long tradition of keeping all their equipment clean in 'ship shape' condition; but with the Corsair they reached a point where it was useless to even try to clean up after this filthy engine. It was truly enjoyable to see you do the, accurate, lighter blue of the USMC as 99% of modellers choose to do the Dark Navy Blue of the USN. Blue, no matter how dense it may be applied is one of the colours in the spectrum that fades the quickest when exposed to sunlight, especially around the equator. I've seen pics of USN Corsairs faded so much they look like the USMC aircraft when they rolled out of the factory. I really enjoyed this video but I think you had the most fun of all, and so you should. You're an excellent modeller and when you started you had the bare minimum of specialist tools but still managed to turn out fantastic models. Thank you, David. I'll bookmark this video and look at it when I need the inspiration to go just a bit further with my detailing. Cheers, Bill
