Mix
& Match collections. The two Corgi F4U models have totally
different color combinations, and I suspect the Legends version is
in error. I have seen drawings using the brighter colors, but drawings
are notoriously inaccurate.
The colors used on the Hellcat are also different from either of the
Corgi models, though they seem to be using the same scheme. The Hobby
Master colors seem more accurate because the lighter blues are more
muted.
The P-47 was added for contrast, being a big, short-span fighter that
contrasts nicely with the bigger-winged Navy aircraft. The harsher
Army green and grey stands out against the basic blues of the other
three models. |
