The FAA liked the Corsair IIs & IVs that they used in combat so much that they bought a bunch of F4U-4s from Uncle Sammy. To ease the pain of "not made here" they reinvented the wheel and put Sea Fury propellers on them, which gave slightly better performance.
I bought a Matchbox kit with no canopy, propeller, or decals. A fellow modeler gave me the glass from a Hobby Boss kit. The prop came from a FROG Sea Fury that I put a Shackelton propeller on, and the markings came from the odds-and-sods box.
The paint is hand-brushed Humbrol Dark Sea Gray and White Ensign Sky. It ain't the best model I ever built but it was saved from the bin with a little ingenuity.
Adios, Larry.
