    Hi guys, I am new and hope I am in the right topic section for this one. 🙂 I Got back to modelling a few months ago after 20y break.

    This is my Tamiya 1/72 F4U-1, number 13 flown by Ken Walsh from VMF 124.

    I know I overdid chipping on the right side of the fuselage but didn't want to make it worse by attempting to fix it, so there it is. 🙂

    Also, I accidentally damaged the pitot tube and the antenna tail attachment point during the photo shoot. 🙁

    It is my second model using an airbrush and I am looking for some honest feedback from you bigger fish out there, hoping to learn, so don't go easy on me. 🙂

    Thanks in advance,

    Seems we all gravitate back to the hobby eventually. Beautiful build and welcome back. I'd say you are off to a running start. Once you get really comfortable with the airbrush any "oops" moments are a cinch to fix with a minimum of masking. Great start!
