I dont have a scanner or a digital camera and I need someone with a scanner and a SQUADRON/SIGNALS book D&SVOL.#56 PART2 F4U-4 through F4U-7, F4U CORSAIR in detail&scale,by BERT KINZEY.I`M REQUESTING A SCANNED IMAGE OF page 44,TOP picture.It`s, BuNo122007(SHE`S A F4U-5) to help get some exposure, so it might RING a BELL or TWO in regards to finding more photos and info on this plane while it was in active duty durring the KOREAN WAR.This plane is marked"410"on cowl,and "T"on tail., it belonged to VF-14 . this photo indicates she flew off CVB-42 USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT,but was that ,the only deck it flew from,where did it go after that(soccer war FRANCE)etc. etc.etc??I want to build a "history"document to go with my Top Flite F4U CORSAIR 60.Building into F4U-5 so`s to be scale correct with supplied decals and yellow hi-lites as pictured on the "GOLD EDITION" BOX TOP(SLOWLY CORRECTING,THE, INCORRECT FEATURES OF KIT). I`ve got a few requests in regards to this topic but would appreciate help getting an image on to this thread first so as to have a visual to help in disscussion.I know there are some real good FACTS and FIGURES men(ladies too) out there so lets`LOCK and LOAD'and see if we can`t help folks make a few more scale correct top flites out there.. ..pre thanks: FLY for NOW!!!!!!!!! DAVE B. ps. hope I`m not too repetative with this topic sorry if I am

maybe not what you are looking for, but this site http://users.skynet.be/bk317032/Part_Corsair_Plane/Menu/openmenu_JDS2_F4U.htm has a LOT of information - might have something along the lines you're looking for.....

randy

p.s. just did some "browsing" and the plane in question is at this link, 2d bird down.....http://users.skynet.be/bk317032/Part_Corsair_Plane/htm/Markings/F4U-5/Corsair_Markings_F4U-5.htm

D Bronk,

I'm sure your intentions are noble, but my copy of said publication very clearly indicates that all material within is copyright, and no part of the book should be reproduced by any means. One may make a personal copy, but it'd be illegal to post it here for general public use.

Sorry, Gary

Hello GAP-RCU, and BOSSMAN;THANK YOU BOTH!!!!The last thing I want,is to be sued for,is,the quest for increased knowledge of my scale plane,and,my humble hobby.I`ll go the requested permission route next.I do apreciate the heads-up,really!The writer of that book is probably interested in anything I might uncover in regards to said plane too,so maybe they will play ball,or at least set me straight as who the actual photographer was.I know they got it from NMNA.I suppose this will become a very large task yet, but,truly hope not.In the mean time I`ll check out BOSSMANS suggested web sites and see what I can find there and will let you guys know.FLY for NOW!!!!DAVE B.

Thanks BOSSMAN -- ,thats definitely the BIRD i`m a hunt`en`fer,EH.I had been at that site and seen that image before,but it never occurred to me,to post the address as you have done there for me. Thank you again.Now at least I`m in the boundaries of the law!!,and there is a quick click to the image I`m after,ON this thread now.I hope guy`s will take the time to look she`s a Mean Look`n,FIGHT`n Machine.I know it`s only a computer generated image(artists`perception) but it`s a start .I`ve now requested permission for use of said image and hope to get a positive reply soon,so that I can plaster it around,maybe "JARRING"some memories loose of the guys`who had contact with good OL`"410",or copies from fellows here of photos I can use. I`ll try to list the details of what I`m actually after as soon as I have a chance. Plus I `ll get in contact with SQUADRON/SIGNAL for their permission of photograph use as well.I`ll also peck their brains on this subject too and see if they can`t me out as well. Can`t be too PROUD just finished begging ya`ll,ya know.Might as well keep at it. Seems to work!! Feel this thread will get quite interesting and usefull to those "scale" building the Top Flite Corsair 60 and using supplied decals in GOLD kit,even if only 25% of my questions get answers. FLYforNOW !!!!!DAVE B.

HI. folks please keep in mind i know I`m going off my own topic here,but would still like you to keep an EYE out for photos that I need for my project PLEASE!!Ihave a lot of links and literrature on all the BENT WINGERS`so please ask me for what you`re looking for and I can probably help a person out.I know you can kill alot of time on "HUNTING" DOWN INFO on this "BIRD" so don`t hesitate to ask!! I`ll be glad to help if I can do so.I`m going to start to put a few things on this thread that will please ALL CORSAIR builders and fans. http://www.jpsmodell.de/dc/querusa_e.ht GREAT site for figuring out your finish.either if you are mixing up your own paint or looking to find pre-made.You`ll find computer generated chips with codes so you can buy a small jar of paint to make your own color chip to match to.Beats purchasing a chip set that will only get used 1 or 2 times.This way you still have a jar of color,on hand, that can be used for small touch ups!! D.B.

This is for BOSSMAN,SHANE, and,HAMMER too,( CHANCE-VOUGHT)these ARE factory assembly-line,blue prints of a F4U-1 invaluable if you want to make that version from your TOP-FLITE kits.You`ll rarely see that one at your flying field,definately won`t be a cookie cutter airplane.SURE to draw a crowd at show-time!!! IF nothing else would make nice poster for the wall.GOT more of that if you want it???FLY for NOW!!!!DAVE B. http:www.f4ucorsair.com/tdata/merged/fuse.jpg . http://www. f4ucorsair.com/data/leftwing.jpg http//www.f4ucorsair.com/data/cockpit.htm

D Bronk, I would suggest posting your question at the site below. There are several regulars to the site who are Corsair experts and will be able to help you out with the history of this bird from start to finish. They also may be able to post pics or at least point you in the right direction. Give it a try, these are some very nice and knowledgeable warbird buffs. Post your question in the first forum, titled "The WIX Hangar". Good luck, Chad Veich.

Thanks CHAD .I~LL chase down that lead as soon as i can probably won`t be today tough I don`t now what happened with my email.Didn`t get any yesterday(odd) and now today I check it again and there`s "326" MESSAGES so I really have some "WEEDING"to do just to get through it all!!! I definatly hope your LEAD pans out for me because i`have probably over 1500 hours envolved already just looking for records,and, such,and all I`ve got at this point is one photo in a book and a few known facts.I don`t get dissapointed anymore,when I get skunked in my search.JUST seem to Learn a little more, on all the other CORSAIRs,that,I AM not looking for but any way I do enjoy the topic alot and have spoken to some great people and historians all of them do, try ,to help a person No doubt!! I`m thinking of asking a SCALE judge that I have talked to a few months back to visit this forum from time to time to answer some of the SCALE builders questions that also pop up in regards to competiton.I`LL definatly ask;He also is a great guy to talk to, too. Anyways Iappreciate you taking the time to write me. I will ,let you KNOW how the hunt goes..THANK YOU very much!!!!! DAVE B.

HI, "FROG"? thats an interesting handle.Do they call you that because you were"jumping" on and off the CARRIERS,or hopping from island to island? Thanks for dropping me a line! I have several little issues in regards to F4U-5 BuNO.122007;in particular.ARE you familiar with her?IF not you ,possibly one of your VETERAN friends may, be?This plane was in volved in KOREA.How about your self?My computer is giving me the gears,it`s 3:30 ish A.M. So i`ll get my "ducks" in a row tommorrow and shoot out a bunch of questions for YOU!! Hopefully you can help me resolve some issues I have.MINOR really,But it`s a RESPECTFUL issue, in that I want to model my 1:8, scale,historicaly correct and accurate.I do appreciate,any time that you spend with me on this.I feel very fortunate to be able to speak with an actual "PILOT".I am officially in "SHELL-SHOCK"at the moment!!WOW Thank you,Very much.YOU have my mind, "racing"now,about the LARGE scale that,I will be doing next.I was uncertain as to which,or who`s
