sorry Bodhi, must of zipped and archived them to a DVD somewhere, I did however find the url link in my bookmarks.

here it is:

http://www.largescaleplanes.com/reviews/Decals/WW2/CuttingEdge/F4U-4_3/CED32058.html

shows both the black sheep squadron F4U-4 and the Olathe Naval Reserve F4U-4 planes ( real pics) along with the decal kit for modellers......

when I saw this naval reserve plane kit available, I dug up a good bit of other photos for reference but have not found them yet in my gazillion archived discs, will keep searching disc if ya decide to use this paint scheme.....

whatever you decide, am sure this will be an awesome HOG

No paint schemes, but I thought you might find interesting...if you haven't already seen it: http://history.navy.mil/branches/hist-ac/f4u-4.pdf

I know this isn't a WW2 scheme and doesn't fit the requirements, but it sure would be a different look to an F4U4 and add a bit of color. Can't lean on em a bit can ya Bodhi?

Saw these on the Hyperscale forums today

Now I know that this is not an F4u-4 but have a look at this link of a Vought F4U-1 Corsair painted to represent an RNZAF Corsair (No 5201) operating in the Solomans during 1944.

Looking for P38 Decals and took a chance on F4U-4 decals. Some interesting stuff from WW2.

Check the VF-89 F4U-4 from the Antietam and the F4U-4 from the Lake Champlain.

Now note on the second page the F4U-4 from the Intrepid from VF-10. Kinda like the stripes on that VF-89 bird myself.

Someone built a kit with those decals. Gives a good idea of the look.

If it's a decent amount of time, can I have a crack at designing a new non-historical skin?

Laser, give it a try....

Damn Bodhi ... if your going non-historical now ... the above paint jobs are the bomb !!!

Not going "non-historical" more than we are considering some of the Korean schemes now. Paint jobs last about 5-6 years, then they get repainted. The owner will have another -4 come online around that time, and it is a historical bird. This one will be painted to match the same squadron at that time.

Till then, we are going to try to put something on that is a little bit of an attention getter, as if an R-2800 and gull wings don't get enough attention already!
