[@JJ-cf7nb]

Beautiful kit! Magic Factory have taken the Corsair to a new level. Definitely the best on the market now!

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

That is some great work, seems like an overall great kit. Beautiful paintwork and weathering, still learning stuff from your videos. All the best!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks for the feedback 👍

[@gwingdor]

What a masterpiece...I only hope I can make a model half as good as your creations...

[@mrmagoo-ip6ee]

Was on the fence for this kit, but think ill grab it after watching this. Great job

[@mazinman3]

Your attention to detail is unmatched & one of a few online modelers I watch online. I have learned so much from your KZbin videos so keep up the great work & thank you!

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks for following along 👍

[@Octopootie1]

Looking good, I can't wait to see the rest in part 2. I've got this kit in my stash and was thinking of starting it soon, so this is a timely video. I'll be watching again when I start it. If it's not too late, one thing I'll point out that most people get wrong on Corsair builds is the camouflage. It wasn't a 3 color scheme it was 4 colors. Insignia white, intermediate blue, non specular sea blue, and glossy sea blue. The 2 sea blues were not simply a gloss, and flat (matte) version. The glossy sea blue is actually a different color that has different hues than the flat version. As far as I'm aware, only one model paint brand makes all these colors accurately, and that's Colourcoats, a small British company. They're kinda hard to get, (especially in North America) and they're also enamel. I'm going to be using them on the Magic Factory build, as well as on the Tamiya 1/32 F4U-1a I've got in the stash.

Dude you make one of the best moddeling content on youtube, This needs to blow up like your previous vids, you helped me so much with metal paints in the past with your vids❤

[@_capsLOCK]

One of my favourite planes of the era! Amazing job!

[@WildBillJr]

You are a true artist. All your models are amazing.

[@HammerheadModelMaking]

Great build so far, really makes me want to get mine out of the stash and get a start on it!

[@Boogie3D]

Wow, simply Wow, learnt a lot. I have not seen such good use of the silver pencil before, usually it is overdone.

[@MMScaleModels]

It takes some practice... we are naturally drawn to exaggarate the wethering IMO

[@sybar]

Your work is outstanding and description of what and why you do what you do so helpful. Many thanks for sharing

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks for the feedback mate 👍

[@Phickic]

Amazing build as always. Making the interiors is my favorite bit when making a model, so this was a great episode imo

[@MMScaleModels]

For me the interior is also the favourite part

[@guillaumeheinrich9668]

Superb looking cockpit out of box. Cool looking and unusual salmon color on early corsair is striking. Can't wait to see the next video. 👍 Great job

[@MMScaleModels]

Yeah, the salmon primer is a rare sight

[@danielrobinson7124]

Not only a beautiful build of a great new kit, but your videos are always filled with fantastic tips/ tricks and information. Can't wait for the rest!

[@mikelesmodelingcorner8479]

Hi Metodi, Great build, as usual. I especially liked the idea with rather old fashioned drybrushing for cockpit detailing - results are great. Looking forward for further episodes, as this Magic Factory company seems to be very strong new player in the business. Cheers!

[@MMScaleModels]

Often times simple solutions are the best solutions IMO

[@Xxxxxxxxxx3582]

I’ll have to get one of Magic Factory’s airplanes. I love all the information you give with your videos. You explain all that you are doing plus additional information such as the real colors.

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks, I am trying to make the videos purposeful

[@garymcbride2637]

Crazy paint detailing. If I did that I would never know when to stop. Thankfully I have videos like yours's for reference. Thanks for Sharing the model looks amazing.

[@thewellreadgearhead544]

I have this kit in the stash and I can't wait to start it. I'll have to bump it up the list! Great work! I've learned a ton from your videos. Good job MM, and great kit Magic Factory!

[@richardjordan5036]

Boy the details on the cockpit is outstanding. This takes modeling to the beyond making it so real. Wish I could afford one of these kits,but anyhow nice build on the cockpit and can't wait to see the results of the whole model. Great job my friend....😊

[@MMScaleModels]

Thanks, good kits are somewhat expensive nowadays I agree

[@hopik512]

So much time spent to just close it after... Nice job!!!

[@MMScaleModels]

The essence of scale modelling :)

[@williamsimon782]

Awesome detail for the cockpit. I will be looking for this kit to add a coursair to my collection. Happy modeling

[@scout_235]

Stunning cockpit build! Simply amazing!

[@keithralston1133]

Your work is always top quality and I learn quite a bit from watching your videos. Thanks

[@pablocartagena2426]

As usual: awesome start. Looking forward to the completion and will direct me to buy one too! Kudos to MAGIC FACTORY!

[@IanMattinson]

Glad to finally see some one building this kit. I've been looking for build videos to see if there are any issues with the kit.

[@MMScaleModels]

Hope you'll enjoy the new episode too :)

[@Luis-ss5iz]

I find it very interesting how the oil paints are used, never thought about using them for things like dry brushing. Though you show the kit off very well! Definitely on my wishlist now

[@smiffysmodellinghangar8003]

Ooh mines moving to the top of the build pile. Thanks for the info on the different versions too, very helpful

Love watching your videos! You're extremely talented!

[@skimmer8774]

I like the result on ammo belts and instruments . It just seems so much to do that it makes me think there's an easier way. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@MMScaleModels]

Maybe brush painting would be easier but I don't have the colors for that.

[@tesarus8461]

Thank you for sharing! Now I have new techniques to try in my own models :)

[@MMScaleModels]

Great, have fun!

Brilliant video so we’ll edited to give modellers a fantastic explanation of building this kit👍👍

[@danwilliams1686]

Wow, just wow, the cockpit looks so damn real, excellent workmanship. Using your guide, I can now get the best out of my corsair. Thanks . I wish you would at some point do the fine molds F-4 phantom an excellent kit except for the stencils which silver real bad and no matter which decal solution I use won't bed them down. But, I bet you would have a solution, cheers.

Great work as always!!

[@tonydrake462]

Built it late last year when it came out - it's excellent - can't wait to get the 2nd one done... seems we agree, complex but great (I actually used the 1/32 Tamiya instructions as the break down is very similar! not a bad thing)

[@MMScaleModels]

Yeah, complex but I guess there is no way around that in the injection moulding world.

[@lycian2000]

Amazing work as always.
