almac Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Thanks Dennis . For the last GB I intended to build a F4u from the El Salvador air force display team so I'll go for that one this time.  Cheers Allan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almac Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) The camouflage Salvadorian Corsair looks way to complex for me. My choice is much simpler. Â Â I've also found some decals for an Argentinian F4u-5n which I forgot I had. Don't know the manufacturer as I don't have an instruction sheet. It looks like a good option as well.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I've just freaked myself out.    Having bought the recent CtA decals sheets covering the Jolly Rogers, I've found there are three F4Us on the sheets: a -1, a -1A and a -4.  So it looks like they are my choices...  3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wont your body go through withdrawals, ... these aren't Hellcats you know? Ive seen you do at least 1/2 dozen Grumman's this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Laidlaw Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Right, I've decided I'm in if that's OK, @Corsairfoxfouruncle? Not sure what scale (either 1/72nd or 1/48th), but I do know it'll be an FAA Corsair II with clipped wing-tips, and Extra Dark Sea Grey/Dark Slate Grey/Sky camouflage (or the ANA equivalents, depending on the markings I choose). I need to do some research on which kits would suit the project best. Fortunately, I enjoy that phase almost as much as painting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
