CAF FM-2 in FAA markings

Posted by Rob Rohr on Tue Sep 30, 2003 08:21:32 PM

Hi All,

I just had a chance to look at Bob Reiss new paint job and it is the right scheme for early F4F that were flown out of New England they had the same paint as the F4U-1. I have a rare color photo taken at Naval Air Station Brunswick Maine showing both a Corsair and Wildcat in this type of paint. the only thing that is wrong is they used a gloss instead of a dull. If I was the CAF I would apply a some dull shine to the airframe. Oh by the way I know Bob Reiss and I know that he did alot of research on this paint job.

Cheers Rob

PS: The time period of this photo is mid-43
