I just finished a Tamiya Corsair that had been sitting in my stash forever. Enjoy.

Hello Mike

The model looks pretty nice, but I only could see it after a gimp session. Could you please take some pictures outside in daylight (indirect lighting is preferable)?

best wishes

It's not lighting that's your problem, it's your white balance. Mess around with the different white balance options on you camera and see if that helps.

Great model, though!

Hi Samuel ... that is right, but the picture is also much too dark. Most cameras have a good presetting for "vacancy snap shots", so shooting outside is an easy way to get some nice pix.

all the best

I'll confess that I am still learning how to use the camera. Several of the photos I took with the flash were hideous. It seemed to show every mistake in high detail. I will take a few more and see if that can improve the view.
