Beautiful model! Great panels 2D and VC. Flies like a hotrod. Nice work! Great download.
I knew another ace that shot down 16 planes, for about 25 yrs. before he died he was 94. His name was Phil Kirkwood he also flew the Corsair he told me that they would drop one wing when you landed on the ship. Thank you, Dale.
