Also, also- that sketch is beautiful.

Re: 1:48 Tamiya Corsair
And here’s an idea:
I spray the Tamiya Yellow-Green Zinc Chromate stand-in over the silver, right? For maximum yellowing. Then, seal it under Mr. Color Flat Clear. That’s lacquer. That’ll protect it through the rest of the chipping process and keep it Yellow. After that, my wife’s hairspray- she uses the one in the pink bottle with the kangaroo on it, then my Custom Insignia White. Then VERY CAREFUL, DISCIPLINED, CONSERVATIVE chipping.

Re: 1:48 Tamiya Corsair
Why not take some old phone charger wire and try using it to replicate what you need to add? I also like pulling apart twist ties too, but phone charging wire or small gauge computer cabling de-stranded would work well. You could strip sections bare then leave sections insulated to create the joining sections, for example!

Sort of like I did with that coaxial cable, yes! I’ll get there. It’ll just take some time.

Re: 1:48 Tamiya Corsair
Okay yeah, tonight I’m gonna delve into enhancing those wheel wells a little bit.

Re: 1:48 Tamiya Corsair
Okay, yeah, I don’t have the materials to deck-out those wheel wells like that. Good news is I can research and source what I need for my forthcoming Hellcat. So it’s all good. And this is a 98% OOB build anyway.
So here we are.
First, the aluminum;
And next, the Zinc Chromate sprayed over the aluminum:
Much more yellow. Tomorrow afternoon I’ll hit it with my Mr. Hobby Flat Clear, then let that set up overnight, and then proceed to coat it with hairspray and then my Custom Insignia White, and chip it better.

Re: 1:48 Tamiya Corsair
I was out for dinner. What about stretching sprue for the hydraulic cabling? That is also a wonderful way to create cables too and Taniya sprues are considered aces for stretching. All you need is your sprue and a candle. First stretch the sprue over a candle then use a Bic to heat and form the curves!! Super easy!!

Re: 1:48 Tamiya Corsair
Wire is far easier to use for hydraulic lines than stretched spruce. One for constant size, and two for flexibility/malleability.
For a multi layer chipping effect, I suggest you have a look at jkim’s FW-190D build thread. He did some similar work there on that build.
