I didn't have any Sullivan books on hand, so bought a couple of Corsair books off Amazon. I do love the bent-wing bird, so I'll find something in there to whet my appetite. I do have a bunch of decal sets already for projects I had lined up, so I'm hoping I find some entries in one of the books I bought that match what I already have. I'll let you know when I determine which way I'm going.

Looking forward to your decision, Greg @gkittinger

Hello again Greg. Sorry for the late comment. I have been busy with a lot of full scale "life" stuff lately. I sincerely appreciate the entry. Jim would be proud of what ever you decide to pick, I'm sure.

Around 10 years ago, (or possibly a few more), I sold off all of my 1/72 scale stuff. My old tired eyes don't let me build them that small anymore. Too bad, because they are a whole lot easier to store.

Now I have shifted towards 1/48 and larger aircraft, and 1/35 armor stuff.

I'm looking forward to seeing your choice(s) when the time comes. Since you have a lot of decal choices, go for it, and build more than one if you can.

Take care my friend.

Here's the decal sheet for the bird I'm doing - going to start with the kiwi bird built from 2 airframes, and may possibly get to another in brit colors. Using the Academy 1/72 kit.

Excellent scheme choice, my friend @gkittinger! Looking forward to it, as well as to a possible Brit bird!

Looking forward to your build, Greg (@gkittinger), especially with some NZ colors.
