Corsairs, more Corsairs and even more Corsairs

I've been thinking more about going back to the Pacific Theater lately and thought some updated Corsair skins would be a good thing. I just uploaded these:

The F4U-1 Corsairs are Allen's Birdcage CFS2 modification model and the F4U-1A and 1D are the B24Guy's overhauled CFS2 model with Dbolt's prop and using Dbolt's Corsair weapons package.

They all look good! Also strange to see the red outline starts...

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - American

Description: Vought F4U-1 Corsair of VMF 121, based on Banika Island, June/July 1943

This is Allen's F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair model. See his original Read Me document for details.

I don't think the early Corsairs could carry drop tanks or bombs. They were used in a pure fighter role. The dp file has been modified to have just a guns only loadout option.

Credit belongs to Allen for his work to modify the stock Corsair back to the early canopy version. I just gave it a new coat of paint.

Hi Capt'n,

Great rendition of "Big Hog". My personal preference is for the wear and tear look.
IMHO, you captured that on the Big Hog, and the other skins also. :encouragement:

I luv the patch work!

BTW, put in the aircraft texture folder these additional bmps by Jaxon for a yellow Mae West vest.
Just a heads up for those that prefer it.

Thank You Captain Kurt!
 
Korea?!?!

You've done an outstanding job on these. :applause:

They look great!:encouragement: I agree with DV, the worn look is a fav of mine as well. Not on every plane, mind you.

I'm wondering if it might be possible to get a couple for the Korean War?:jump: Before you put the kit into storage. If you're burnt out on them I'll understand fully. Just thought I'd throw it out there.
