The fourth Korean War era Corsair sheet also included three overall gloss sea blue aircraft. Once again, Academy and Hasegawa are recommended  for kits of this plane.

Initial aircraft is from VMF-323 in 1952. This F4U-4B doesn't have the rather gaudy markings used later on and is really devoid of any additional color.

Second is another F4U-4B from VF-53 aboard the USS Valley Forge in 1950. This is one of the more colorful Corsairs with light blue rudder markings, tail tip, wing tips and prop hub. The rudder markings are part of the decal sheet. (very late note: Apparently the unit is VF-43 aboard the USS Coral Sea)

The final set of markings is another Marine F4U-4 from VMF-214 'Blacksheep' aboard the USS Sicily in 1951. In addition to the mission markings it has red for the tail tip and prop hub.

There are sufficient insignia and data markings for two options. An additional instruction sheet is included for data marking placement.
