Default Nose art and decals

KenR,

I would appreciate any information you get about a graphics set for Marine Dream. I am planning on building a modified Meister Corsair this winter as a F-4U-1 Birdcage corsair and wanted to model it as Marine Dream. I don't know what size you were needing, but maybe two custom graphic sets would be cheaper than one. The biggest thing I would be interested in is a good representation of the nose art. With the size of the cowling on the meister, I am looking for a nose art probably in the range of 6-8 inches, so I would prefer not to have a grainy blob but a good quality print worthy of a Corsair. I can paint the insignias myself if needed.

Also, is the Banka photo set of Ray Dieckman's FG-1D #19 currently flying as Marine Dream, or is it of the original F-4U-1 birdcage #576 Marine Dream flown by (I believe) Ed Olander out of Bouganville?

Thanks for any information,
-Scott Gizzie-
