S! chaps,
In a few weeks we are going to be starting a late war US navy carrier campaign, during which we'll be flying among other types the F4U-1D and maybe 1C corsairs. I've done some schemes for these types for that period with some of the various carrier markings they used. I know there was some interest from some guys to get a skin so I might as well do em for anyone who wants em. I put together a pack of blanks so you can see some of the various markings to pick from. You can get that here : http://rapidshare.com/files/1426803304/CarrierCampaignF4UBlanks.zip (http://rapidshare.com/files/1426803304/CarrierCampaignF4UBlanks.zip)
I included versions with yellow bands for squadrons I've seen them applied too, some have colored prop hubs and some have the tape forward of the cockpit. Those are all things I could turn on or off or tweak. The yellow bands were applied during strikes around tokyo in early 45 I believe. The pea green spinner hub is something that was used on all Yorktown aircraft, not sure about the others.
All these squadrons used numbers to identify individual aircraft but there was no fleet wide standard so size, style and placement vary from unit to unit. If you give me your favorite number I can add that. If you have a name or noseart you want, get it too me and I'll see what I can't do.
There is only one option for the F4U-1C from the Shangri-La.
So if you want a corsair skin get with me here or by PM.

On what skin though? There are some carrier marking options in the blank pack above, or did you want none of those markings?
DW
USS Hancock no band
Ok, for the ones with the nose band I was gonna include one with, one without anyways.
DW
Though here's a question Jet, did you want just the artwork or the "Fly Navy For the Boys" text too?
DW
yes I would like to have the text there I guess you would have to change the color of the text if it is not to hard
if it starts to be come a pain in the rearend just leave the text off Thank you DW

I also need a number and what carrier markings you want, if any. The blank pack in the first post has a bunch of options.
Same goes for Gator, he gave me a noseart choice and number but no mention of what if any carrier markings.
DW
S! Darkwolf I have to ask my CO Olds about that carrier marking sir Gator
All requests so far are filled, with the exception of Duff4r. You mentioned Felix the Cat noseart but no number or what carrier markings you want, if any.
DW
I will take what ever is left over in the spare parts department. Only request is #11 on the tail but I am still #1 in your heart
~S~
I've already done a couple F4U-1Ds for you, I'll make you a 1C to go with it.
DW
Oooooooo can i get a 1C too please?? :happy-112:
There was a 1C in the zip I sent you. Did you not read the message? :thinking-008: The VF85_ShangriLa one is for the 1C.
DW
Ahhh yes i see it now

Still waiting for you to get the noseart to me.
DW
Just a reminder guys I only have 1 group marking for the F4U-1C, the lightning bolt of the Shangri La. Everyone got one of those. So the one that ends in _VF85_ShangriLa are for the F4U-1C.
Lippy did you ever get that file open? You've downloaded zips from me before I think, not sure why it's not working. I just checked it and it works for me. If not I can get it to you some other way.
