That’s no my model Joe. While I have the kit, I don’t build fast or well enough for that to be build, I do wish it was. Hats off to Jose for this fine build. Only thing I would have changed was to use the VMF-321 markings or some other Marine markings, personally preference that doesn’t take away from his build.
I too also like the Corsair. I have not looked up Dana research, while I have a number of his books. I recall William discussing salmon color decades ago when I first met him at a club meeting, he is my goto on Naval aviation. While researching the details I came across multi post of his comments which I posted above. I have not spoken the William about colors only the kit in general. I freely admit there maybe newer research that the old posts do not account for.
So I think what you and I can agree on is the Jose did a build a nice model and review for us and others to discuss.
