                        OK, Joe. I'm in. Got four 1/72 Corsairs to choose from. Hasegawa birdcage and F4U-1D; Jo-Han F4U-1D and R-G F4U1D. Don't know which one will make the cut, but I'll start in April with the rest. Big Smile [:D]

                        The seller I just bought my Corsair from just started getting some bad feedbacks! I hope I get the kit but I may need to get an alternate.

                        Because I just found my “F4U Corsair At War” book I think I’ll list myself as a maybe for this one fightnjoe. So many GB’s going, will see how I’m doing on them as we get closer to May.

                        Joe, go ahead & put me down for Academy's 1/48 F4U-1 "Bird Cage" in Lt. Kenneth Walsh's markings. The kit's been staring at me for some time but had not a clue what markings were with it until I opened the Instruction Sheet!! I got a Detail & Scale Vol. 1 and was planning on picking up Kagero's Corsair Vol. 1 with a Squadron book thrown in for good measure. Thanks - Calvin

                        A kit and decals? I need to decide on what scale, but not 1/72 this time. I want to go with at least 1/48 but if I can find a 1/32 scale bird and decals I'll go with that. And then there is always all those aftermarket goodies!

                        I still have not decided on what scale 1/48 or 1/32. Currently I have a Trumpeter 1/32 F4U-1D. I have not found any decals for this scale. I have also a 1/48th F4U-4B . I just go and buy another kit. There are plenty of decals for the 1/48th. Any suggestions?

                        this seems to be the only 1/32 sheet i can find. it has pappy boyington's bird (at least one of them). hope this helps some.

                        This will help a great deal as to settle in with the 1/32 trumpeter kit. Again thank you .

                        Just ordered the Eduard Color Zoom PE for the Tamiya F4U-1D. Already have the kit & decals, so I,m in pretty good shape.

                        In doing some research I came across some of the finer points of VMA-214
                        They first flew F4U-1A's, then in '45 they flew F4U-1D's off a carrier - does this
                        matter to the GB intent?

                        you bring up a very good point. we seem to have an issue here. as the kits of both have decals for the squadron let us keep both as options.

                        If you decide the D's don't qualify, let us know ASAP. I would have to withdraw as that's the kit, decals & PE I have in my stash.

                        in my mind they both qualify. i believe mine is a "d" also.
