85sqn Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Funny, in the box for the MkII they gave you the decal option for the box art of the MkIII.... They've pre-empted themselves! JS636 is a MkIII. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair III is a F3A-1D with the large 3 blade propeler the 4 blade apers with the F4U-4 How can they get it so wrong when they’ve already boxed a MkII with a three blader? Perhaps it will just be an error in the instructions as it should be an identical kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85sqn Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Then again, on the side of the box it shows it with four blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philp Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Guys, looks like they reboxed their F4U-4 as the Mk.III. Not exactly sure why but even Scalemates shows it inline from their -4 kit with new parts (clipped wingtips). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
