Looks pretty good to me. . . but i only have one eye.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

- Sorry to hear that Lyle....Looks good to me - I've never tried airbrushing.

Looks like you nailed it. Well done. The airbrush is a fun tool, especially after you learn new techniques with it. You're well on your way to mastering this.

Re: Italeri Corsair in 72nd scale
Thank you guys for the positive comments, I really appreciate it.
I have added some photos of the completed build, but had a bit of a problem with the clear coat before decals. I used Tamiya Acrylic clear but ended up with a grainy, rough finish, anyhow here it is:

I can't see where it is grainy and rough,m but the model looks fantastic. Way to go!

I can see it on the leading edges of the wings. Wonder why it did that.Very nice work though! It looks great.

Re: Italeri Corsair in 72nd scale
This is your first airbrushed model? Come on! Show us the others!
Really? Well, than you have a good feeling for using an airbrush! The paint looks very subtle where my first try lots of years ago left the model flooded in paint...
Sorry for the grainy result with Tamiya clear. Did you thin it? How was humidity when you airbrushed it on?
