This is my skin for the EXCELLENT quality F4U corsair made by GEO and originally skinned by Steve Day.
I must say, the wait was well worth it, this is one of the finest models and skins I have seen come out in HR for EAW!!

I have completely remade the top and sides for the skin, it would have just been too difficult to 'adjust' the original skin to suit.

Note: This skin has been converted by VonBeerhofen and then Col.Gibbon to be used in the SpitIX slot, specifically for PacTideII campaign use. 

Due to the slot change, this particular version has had it's palette changed to the standard EAW RAF palette, so you should have minimal problems with the rendering of it on screen.

Also note: This release INCLUDES the latest undercarriage fix made by Chompy and by Me with Chompy holding my hand! lol.
***************************************
about this skin:

Due to lack of support infrastructure in the outer Solomon islands where many of the RNZAF units were sent, they were not being supplied with anything but the most fundamental maintenance supplies,  that DIDN'T include things like flooring, mosquitop nets or repellant, and paint for their AC.
As a result the exterior of the AC suffered from weathering and paintscratches and chips.

 This is the F4U-1 of 25 Sqn RNZAF for the (original) P51D slot. Based on Los Negros Island, January 1945 - extremely weathered US Navy scheme of Non specular blue (fs35042) and semi gloss (fs25042) upper surfaces. Intermediate blue (fs35164) sides and lower outboard wing panels, and white (fs37880) lower surfaces. White tape covers the forward fuel tank seams and there was no tail hook on RNZAF Corsairs.

Special thanks must go to VonBeerhofen, Col.Gibbon and Chompy for the realtime help they gave with all of the different aspects of making these HR Corsairs available.
And, of course, to the original creators Steve and Geo!

Enjoy, any comments will reach me at the SimHQ BB.

Cheers
