Corsairs, more Corsairs and even more Corsairs

A good idea, but you'll need to use later Corsair marks for Korea. Sources say that the versions of the Corsair used in Korea from 1950 to 1953 were the AU-1, F4U-4B, -4C, -4P and -5N and 5-NL. Even if you exclude the obviously dissimilar -4P and -5N and 5-NL marks, there are still notable physical and performance differences between the featured -1A here and the AU-1, F4U-4B, -4C marks.

Of course, we could always shuck all this the historical detail and just pretend with what we have, right? :untroubled:
 
Capt,
Nice job on the Corsairs. They look great. Also, the Hellcats aren't too bad either.

There's always theFS9 Donationware F4U-4, if permission was given to convert it to CFS2- It would need LODs added of course. That's above my pay grade though.:adoration:

Hi Captain Kurt,

just off the top of my head, wasn't an F4U-4 model included in FDG2's ex-donationware "Corsairs Anthology for CFS2"?

You are right early "birdcage" Corsairs had no provisions for droptanks and/or payloads, Ltnt. Cdr. Blackburn explains it well in his "The Jolly Rogers" book. I hope you have it, if not it's a must.
I had no idea how much VF-17 influenced the development and improvements of the early Corsairs, until I read "The Jolly Rogers"! They had the first idea to hang a ventral bomb under the Corsair and they flew the very first Corsair bombing raid ever, which became standard practice during the last phases of WWII in the Pacific.

By the way, those new Corsair repaints are indeed:


A great work-of-art!
Thank you!
