Corsair

Hey, Stephan!
Content de te revoir ici!

For those of you who have never tried the alternate flight dynamics for this done by myself for MILVIZ before it was sent over to A2A, they are posted here at the Raushaus. Somewhat more challenging and as realistic for carrier ops as I could make it.

Nice paints!

Regards: Tom

*rofl* at "Raushaus*

I have your alternative FM, Fliger, and love it. Makes the F4U indeed a bit more challenging to fly. Highly recommended!


Best,
Mark

 

[jankees]

since you seem to like the corsair, how about another paint for it?
Still wip, but getting there as you can see

Beautiful paint work Jan. The F4U has always been one of my favorite aircraft. I did have the opportunity to run my hand down the side of Pappy's plane at NAS Pensacola where it is displayed. "Fear the Bones".

Got to say USMC F4U paint are my favorites....hmm, I wonder why? lol

 

[jankees]

yes, I wonder too...

but here is a navy paint:

if you want more USMC paints, you know where to find me..

Another masterpiece, Jan Kees. I admire the detail of your repaints. The image below shows Davenport riding the "Lonesome Polecat" down the taxiway of Ondonga, the homebase of VF-17 in the Solomons.

Thanks!

Jan Kees, that is some very nice work! Outstanding weathering and attention to detail. I see you chipped away a lot more paint from the right wing than the left wing, not everyone gets that correct. There are reasons for the asymmetrical paint wear on the F4U. Entry into the cockpit was only from the right side. Servicing the engine oil filler could only be done from the right side. The Coffman starter cartridge breech was accessible only from the right side. Servicing the water/methanol injection filler was only from the right side. Very nicely done, sir.

Went and grabed A2A's Accu-Feel and while I was there I got the F4U just so I could have this paint.

Thanks
Jan

 

[jankees]

in that case, I might as well throw in another paint, to say 'thank you' for the Duck:

Aaaah, Tommy Blackburns ride! Great!!

Big Hog (and others) is in my collection of original Ondonga images which I use for references:

Thank you for another VF-17 paint, Jan.

What a mix , Brilliant Paint , Brilliant Scenery , Brilliant Screen

I will take issue with the repaint for Captain Blackburn's F4U-1A. As far as I know, all of the side numbers on VF-17's Corsairs were insignia white, this one looks to be a shade of blue.

 

[fliger747]

I think they are just dirty, engine oil and exhaughst.

cheers. T
