Wouldn't be my cup of tea as it is not a WW II livery.....but....very nice camo! Thanks for sharing it.

Pretty camo but not my cup of tea as well.

As a side note, one of the "legends" of this war that I've heard is that DC-3's were converted into bombers. Anyone know if there is any truth to this? Any idea what the load out was? Thanks

That's a cool and different livery for a Corsair, but I'd rather have Fernando Soto's F4U-5NL (minus the radar) that he used to shoot one of those down. Of course the Honduran AF kept their Corsairs glossy sea blue (and even repainted a B-26 they acquired in the same color). Most of the Honduran F4U's ended up back on the warbird circuit after being purchased by an American enthusiast in the late 1970s.
