Released: The Milviz Corsair

[JensOle]

None of those links hold any particular historical credibility (i know, often that is all we got). We have many pictures of camouflaged faa corsairs in the same serial range showing the overpainted older roundels. 136 was not delivered with the bpf bar roundel, to my knowledge so were all camouflaged faa corsairs delivered first with standard eto c1 roundel, then overpainted with several generations of eas indies /pacific fleet roundels. Actually many of the FAA Corsairs in the pacific had first served in the ETO and then followed the carriers to the PTO. Many had also seen considerable more use and flight hours than their USN brothers (the British did not have the service "tail" to swap out the aircraft for service as the USN had). It was first very late that the bpf got new corsairs directly from usn stocks.

Its your paint, just some friendly inputs

None of those ....

Jens, can You send me by PM few examples, I'll do it. I very like weathering and dirties so it could be interesying effect in the final ;>. TY.

 

[YoYo]

Tri-Color Scheme is ready also.
F4U-1A "Hells Angels", VMF-321, Lt.J.J. O'Connell, USS Kwajalein carrier, 1943.

I know, most of this was A and C version, D only with old kind of frame of canopy but why not? :- ). Preview.

 

[YoYo]

This is final version (just few improvements with new mdl):

Many asked about this. Unfortunately no according arrangement (for FSX is an old version of Corsair from Aircraft Factory). For P3D version Corsair was improvement very much (outside, inside, FM, TacPack, loadout, manual ect.).
BUT P3D (especially v4) is a lot of better sim than FSX. I said "bye, bye" FSX/P3Dv3 3 monts ago and Im very happy with v4. Its the best version of FS series on market now.

It is if you don't mind the compatibility issues. But not everybody is ready to let go the great addons that won't ever be made 64-bit.

alpha charlie, just a note, the Milviz FG-1D is not just for 64-bit Prepar3D v4, it is also works perfectly in any version of Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D.

Jens, can You send me by PM ....

Didnt recive yet but I did more research. Now is ok.

Sub Lieutenant Donald J. Sheppard skin (RCNVR) is updated:
- size of main number 136,
- size the registration of RN
- traces/weathering effects of paint after the old kind of markings RN (both sides, wings, rudder).

Regards!

It really looks great, YoYo! Is there any chance in repainting the prop hub too - the entire prop hub should be painted flat black (like the prop blades) on this and most FAA Corsairs. I personally think it would really put the finishing touch on it.

(Note in this photo of another Corsair from the same Squadron, from the same time period, there appears to possibly be some remnants of red-doped fabric patches around the gun ports. Also note the style of the numeral '1'.)

I love those US tri-color schemes too!

Is there a new mdl out if so how do I get the update? Is the paint kit out also?

Next skin from the package:

FG-1D Corsair BuNo.76663 No.663 flown by 2/Lt. Malcolm M. Birney of VMF-312, Okinawa, 25 May 1945.

 

[YoYo]

And the next. Do You like dirties, scratches and many weathering effects? This will be for You ;- ).

F4U-1A "Irate Donald Duck", NZ5277 of No 15 Squadron, Royal New Zealand Air Force, Solomon Islands, 1945.

 

[Bomber_12th]

Although an artist's depiction of BuNo.76663 may depict the prop hub painted blue, it should be/was originally actually painted flat black too (and it will look even better).

Hehe, but here it was blue http://www.markstyling.com/F4U_18.htm but I trust You, , I noticed also mistakes on painting on this website also. Will do.

Preview: Improved shocks in model (in incoming SP).

Are we going to be able to hang all three drop tanks like in the photo above? As of right now it wont let me load all three at the same time like in the photo above.

 

[stovall]

No there at present no plans to be able to use three drop tanks.
