Eric B. Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) Hello everybody.. My project was to build one model of each main variant of the Corsair (bar the -4) during the Pacific War in 1/72nd scale. I of course choose the tamiya little gems. My main purpose actually was to duplicate the evolution of US NAVY camoflage (pity I could not build an Atlantic version.. ) Part 1 and 2 were posted here some months ago. Part 3 completes my project as I just finished the F4U-1D a few days ago Here we go with part 1 and 2 (original is here (link) http://www.arcairawa1.com/forums/air/index...=127789&hl= and the latest addition and a photo of the Corsaire line up Cheers Eric B.

Eric B. Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) Thank you all.. Bennett : N-44 is an aircraft of VMF-441. They flew over Okinawa in 1945. I found a Profile of this aircraft in Eagles Illstrated : Allies in the Pacific by Tom Tullis page 37. I had planned a yellow nosed aircraft of VF-84 using Techmod sheet 72037 which comes very complete with technical markings and individual markings for a/c #110, 167 and 155. Just by chance I found several several kits being build with these markings on my favourite internet sites. I wanted something less common. VMF-441 blue nosed Corsair was to be the one. I never found no aftermarket decal sheet for these aircraft, but it turned out easy. All markings are from the Techmod sheet bar the "N-44" code that I took from a generic white letters and numbers sheet. At a time I thought about painting them on the aircraft with properly cut masks from Tamiya tape.. Cheers.. Eric B. Edited February 19, 2008 by Eric B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
