Nerdling's 1/48 Tamiya F4U Birdcage Done!

Nerdling's 1/48 Tamiya F4U Birdcage

Slapped some paint and clear on her. For some reason it looks like orange peel in the photo but I don't see it with the naked eye :hmmm Really need to get me a photo booth.

Calling her done. Not really happy with this build. The Vallejo clear was giving me fits no matter what I did. It kept trying to frost up on me. Eventually I just put another coat on and it helped a bit. Also just noticed the wheel hub came loose. Something else to fix lol :bang head

I found the Vallejo clear just didn't get a good cure on it, seemed really filmy. I like the outcome Ryan, what did you use for the panel line wash?

Be sure to get it posted on the CTAII completion thread!
