Staying with overall sea blue and 1945, here are three Corsairs. While the markings are scaled for the Tamiya kit, you can use the Otaki one and several others if you wish.

First up is an F4U-1C from VF-85 aboard the USS Shangri-La. this one has a white lighting bolt on the fin and right wing. My understanding is that the -1C was cannon armed so you may want to look into any mods needed.

Next is an FG-1D (same as F4U-1D) from VF-83 aboard the USS Essex. It carries the white 'bow tie' marking on the fin and right wing.

Finally, to make the Marines happy, here is a VMF-122 F4U-1D from the USS Bennington. It carries a white  arrow on the fin and top and bottom of both wings.

The sheet provides insignia and data markings for one. You'll notice that the Corsair carries the white and blue insignia, while the Hellcat uses the one that is just white.
