RN Corsair

I was looking at an Otaki/Arii/Airfix 48th Corsair last night. The kit includes an out of register set of decals for a RN bird. The camoflauge planform shows the wings are clipped 3 to 6 inches. I know RN carriers were smaller than USN with a lower hanger deck, but I have never read about or seen an operational Corsair with squared tips. Is this correct, and how much were they clipped? The kit is not marked so that you can remove the right amount.
I may get so drunk, I have to crawl home. But dammit, I'll crawl like a Marine.
