The build is the member’s personal representation of a historical subject, and his build thread is not the place to pick away at it. It’s perfectly acceptable to point something out, but after that, it’s up to the builder whether he wants to make changes or not FYI, my birdcage has the same scheme as John’s and I used two tone as well. It sounds like you have a lot of knowledge of USN schemes. I’d recommend you prepare a feature on them and publish it in Modeling Discussion, where it’ll benefit everyone and not be buried in someone’s build thread. If it’s convincing enough and can be backed up with fact, we’ll even pin it to the top of the board for all to see. Thanks, an welcome to the forums. Ernie I only mentioned it once and was asked for proof so tried to clarify it with the photos that were posted. Didn't mean any harm by it or even played the "Know it All". Only tried to share what I know and clarify the color scheme. My Deepest and Sincerest Apologies to all! Alfonso 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn’t do anything wrong because you didn’t know. Personally, on my builds, I appreciate a deep dive into accuracy issues. I’m kinda anal that way, but other folks react differently. So no need to apologize everything‘s cool with me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Hey Alfonso, firstly welcome to the forum. Secondly, no need to apologize. Your input is appreciated , this is public forum and the sharing of your knowledge's important to all of us. We are here to help each other and have fun. Just to keep it relevant I am going to post some pictures of Virgils Corsair and we can perhaps discuss the camouflage evolution of VMF-214 in a separate topic, since it is a quite convoluted can of worms.

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 15, 2023 Administrators Share Posted May 15, 2023 John what paints are you using for your light blue? Are they AK? Because I need to buy some more, I use them all up on my buffalo and my birdcage and of course I threw the empty bottles away like an idiot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am as big fan of the long nose versions P Thank you Pete. No, there aren't any conversion sets that I know of unfortunately and it appears Tamiya has stopped issuing any more Corsair versions in 1/32. The only -4 I'm aware of is the Trumpeter kit which needs a good bit of work to make it anywhere near correct. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
