The box has markings for the Confederate/Commemorative Air Force '530' and another one marked FF59, supposedly from WW2 but not identified in the instructions. I did mention that I know b*gger all about these aircraft didn't I ?\ said:Which scheme is in the box Steve? Ventura Publications do a nice NZ set in 1/32.
I have pictures of a bunch of F4U-1Ds of VF-84 lined up on the deck of the USS Bunker Hill and am planning to do one of them. Apparently in February 1945 they had a temporary marking of a yellow nose, just a ring around the front 2'-3' (described as orange/yellow, whatever that is) which will break up all that Sea Blue a bit. I might even do Roger Hedrick's '167' which would hold its own with some of the other aircraft of famous pilots on the shelves
I notice that these aircraft are only carrying one drop tank in what looks to be the port side position. Also the drop tank looks to be a light colour. Are they aluminium, grey, even white? Anyone have any idea?
Cheers
Steve
