No parts that aren't in the standard styrene? That's quite a shame.

It's a Corsair not a F6UPirate.

Interesting. Another Corsair, yet with the FAA wings - didn't know about that. Photo 5 indicates a very good cockpit; might the lattice parts be stringers and longerons? And look at those manifold pipes. I'd like to see this kit firsthand.

Nice one! Need to have it, as I already have built a Mk. I Birdcage out of the Tamiya kit with correct non-clipped wings. Torsten

Another 1/48 scale Corsair variant that I need for my ever growing collection. I keep on buying them, but just never seem to get around to building the vast majority of them. Joel

Nice but the decals look a bit funky, and suspect re accuracy I would especially like to see photographic evidence for the first scheme. There are some nice alternatives here LINK
