Weathering a Pacific Fleet and Guadalcanal Corsair: Tamiya 1/48 Vought F4U-1 FULL BUILD Part 5

The final episode of my double Tamiya 1/48 Corsair build where I really up the weathering, using post-shading, panel line washes and paint fading to get that grimy, stained, bleached and streaked finish.

The mixes I developed for the colors for the two Corsairs are included again below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm2P1...
