Hi copilot,
If you can't find the sheets you're looking for try "Sky Models" they have a sheet that has markings for at least 2 RNZAF Corsairs the sheet is 48-043 and 'Sky" is out of Italy. I think I got my sheet from Flightdecs

Wow, looking very good, very nicely done 3 colour camo. What paints did you use?
Did you have any luck with you decals? I thought I had some, from an old ARII kit, but couldn't find them. They probably wouldn't have been up to scratch anyway

Hi Copilot
I love that camo scheme! It's not often you see a Corsair as unusual as this one with the markings you've chosen. It really is a beautiful job.
Congradulations!

Very nice job.Well done
Was the soft edge camo masked or did you spray it freehand?
I agree with Mal,,you should enter it MOM.

Your corsair looks great! You did a very nice job on the camo. I also encourage you to enter it in the MOM.
