to pick one it just has to be the F4U-1, -1A Corsair for me. 4 tone camouflage and dirty girls for me! LOL Alfonso

Ummmm, How do you spell, YES!!!!!!! Alfonso

NICE, John, F-ing NICE!! Alfonso

Gorgeous work going on here! Phantabulous Phantom! Alfonso

My apologies Kevin, but not sure what you were "thinking" at all! Lol The post is about Flight deck colors on the USS Lexington,CV-16. during The Battle of the Philippine Sea, aka The Marianas, Turkey Shoot. Yes he made a reference to the original USS Lexington, CV-2's deck colors, but still mentioning June of '44 , and Alex Vraciu would already mean the Essex class carrier, Lexington. Also USS Yorktown, CV-5 was also replaced by an Essex class carrier, CV-10 USS Yorktown by this time as well, LoL Alfonso

And yes to the Deck being stained in Norfolk N-250 Blue stain. Alfonso

CV-2 USSLexington was lost at the Battle of the Coral Sea. But, ummmm, yeah, He is referring to CV-16 USS Lexington, an Essex class carrier renamed in her honor. So "Yes" Lexington was at the Marianas "Turkey Shoot"! Alfonso

WOW, Just WOW!!! I go to play with sand and rock now, that better for me!!! Gorgeous build, glad it's back, but I'm left dumbfounded! Ok, back to rock and sand, LoL Alfonso

I also am, have been, in the 56th FG NMF undersides on their P-47D(Razorback/Bubbletop) and P-47M's. In my observations/opinion it is clear in all photos of their aircraft, with Gabreskis' mount also included. Alfonso

Beautiful! Alfonso

Go, Jay, Go! Nothing to add to your request on filling as you've got some good input already. I'm in with the "skin" it if possible recommendation. Fill/sand or skinning will still be a chore either way as your build has it's gear installed. In the end, I'm sure you'll win either way! Best of Luck, whichever route you take. Gorgeous Corsair work, just Gorgeous! Alfonso

Damn, NICE!!! Alfonso
