Chappie Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hello again everyone, I've been out of modeling for almost a decade now, but I still have my 27 kit stash in the attic that I will get to.....someday. I am looking for two old Cutting Edge decal sheets in 1/48th scale. 48-226, which includes several of Boynton's Corsairs 48-267, which includes a Korean War-era VMF-214 F4U-4B. Anyone have one or both of these for sale? Cheers and Happy New Year, Chappie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReccePhreak Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Cutting Edge 48-267 can still be had from the source here: http://www.fineartofdecals.com/goodies/148-treasures-allied/ About a third of the way down. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chappie Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Thanks Larry. I did find that site after I posted this message. Quite a few gems from the past on that site. Chappie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is an amazing sheet though. Extremely detailed. It even includes and aircraft from little-known VMF-441. It was recently discovered that the F4U-1A BuNo 17799 at the Planes of Fame Museum saw combat with that squadron in 1943. Chappie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was a random aircraft chosen for publicity pictures between tours. Boyington truly didn't have an assigned aircraft, just a few he flew more often than others. Bruce Gambles book details the serial numbers for his second tour. The Fundekal sheet features a few of those. I have both the Cutting Edge and Fundekal sheet. At one time I had two of the Cutting Edge sheets. I do know about the Planes of Fame Corsair's history. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yeah, I know #86 wasn't Pappy's aircraft and that is was only used as a publicity prop, but it does hold a place in Black Sheep history. I bought Bruce Gamle's "Swashbucklers and Black Sheep" last year and it is what sparked a renewed interest in 214. Chappie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
