VMF-225 F4U-1

Greebo the RAF F6F Id like to see is the one we have (Blue red roundel) but without the damn invation stripes.

I really dont like the invation stripes, they just clutter down nice paint schemes.

I'll have a look for info on an F6F like that, Tex.

Few nice options for another RAF F6F.

Found a suitable Hellcat, this is Lt Cmdr Stanley Orr's 804 Squadron aircraft, based on HMS Emperor during the Tirpitz strikes in 1944. I'll have to change the letter E into something reversable like a T, since the fuselage sides are mirrored.

THAT is extreamly sweet!!!!!! YES please!!!

I painted an RNZAF one Greebo. It was rejected at least once coz of the bleeding colour near wing roots.

Id love to send it to you for completion/rework if you want.

Its got the appellation Tutae Wera on the side which is Maori for "**** Hot!"

send an email to byoung@paradise.net.nz and Ill return what I have.

I know about the problem with the wing bleeding. Its a bug with all the F4Us (except the F4U-1, which has patches to hide the bug). It effictively limits the later F4Us to the '44 USN all dark blue scheme.

BTW the only skin I've ever had completely rejected was a tri colour VF-17 F4U-1A done on the F4U-1 skin, so that dodge won't work either. Sorry, there's no way around the problem until HTC redo the F4Us.

Perhaps you could do the all dark blue RNZAF Corsair shown earlier in this thread? I'm not going to have time for a while.
