Victory Productions has released their first set of decals. This set
covers the a variety of late-model (post WWII) F4U-5, F4U-5N and AU-1
Corsairs. A full-color profile sheet provides the color schemes and
decal placement for each of the seven subjects provided.
Designed for the Hasegawa kit, you're going to want to do several of these interesting
color schemes:
- AU-1, 129378, AES-12, Quantico MCAS, USMC
- F4U-5N, 123176, VMF(N)-513, WF-19, USMC
- F4U-5NL, 124559, 3-A-209, Argentine Navy
- AU-1, 129359, VMA-212, LD-10, USMC
- F4U-5N, 122186, VC-3, NP-6, USN
- F4U-5N, 124453, VC-3, NP-21, USN
- F4U-5N, unk, Honduran Air Force
This set is very impressive first effort and my sample is in perfect register. Victory
Productions Decals are available from Stevens International, Sentai Distributors,
Skygrid, Hannants, Beaver Corporation (Japan), Airdoc (Germany), Snowy Mountain Models
(Australia), and of course directly from Victory
Productions (www.victorymodels.com).
My sincere thanks to Victory Productions
