F4U Corsairs by AcWai and UncleTgt! 1.0

[AcWai]

UncleTgt is busy painting new paint schemes and tweaking the airfiles.

Here are my two fictitious paint schemes. I love D-Day stripes.

 

[Captain Kurt]

Stunning!! (as usual with Andrew's planes)

 

[stoney]

Good grief, that cockpit is outrageously beautiful!

 

[AcWai]

Thanks for these nice comments! We are now tweaking the air files.

 

[Ludo]

Good lord, this Corsair looks awesome (or these Corsairs? The cockpits make me think of -1 and -4 variants).

 

[Browncoat]

You are correct Ludo. It looks like a F4U-1A and a F4U-4.

I’m looking forward to these AW!

 

[UncleTgt]

Some of the historical repaints already completed.

[Ludo]

Those textures are looking really nice, thanks UncleTgt

 

[Captain Kurt]

Did y'all note there's a dash 1 and a dash 4 there? Nice work!!

 

[Ludo]

It's really the cockpits screenshots that gave me the hints, especially the armaments panels. I also remembered a video about human factors in WW2 fighters from Greg's automobiles and airplanes on Youtube talking about the Corsair cockpit.

 

[Browncoat]

I see a -1A, -1D, and the -4.

@Ludo, you don’t happen to know the title of the video or have a link to it would you?

 

[Ludo]

Greg's channel is really interesting, with a lot of technical stuff, highly recommend this one.

 

[AcWai]

Thanks for all the nice comments. Here is another repaint that I have finished using the paint template from UncleTgt. I like aircarft with stripes.

 

[UncleTgt]

Couple more ...

 

[AcWai]

We have just finished building the F4U-1D model. We are hoping to get this aircraft ready soon. We are still tuning the air files. I just need to paint one more paint scheme.

 

[UncleTgt]

Another Korean War F4U4... on the lookout for Capt Kurt's Yak-9 perhaps

 

[Captain Kurt]

Beautiful work Andrew and John. Looking forward to getting my hands on them.

Thanks for the Yak-9 plug John, LOL. I'll have it ready in the next couple of weeks. But it's a Yak-9D version which was used by the VVS in the 1943 to 1945 WW2 time frame.

The North Korean Yaks were the later Yak-9U and Yak-9P marks, they're quite different.

For anyone interested, Thicko has a North Korean Yak-9P here:
