Does anyone have or know where I could find a picture of the Korean Corsair 21st Century came out with? Thanks

Brit Corsair
The pic may not look that much different but it is very distinguishable from the Bunker Hill version. The RAF scheme never really got me excited - but it is unique.
Korean Corsair
I love the 21C Corsair (I have 5 of 'em)...
but the model mold represents the F4U-1 and -1D versions. The 21C Korean paint scheme is on the same mold as all the rest of the 21C releases, but is incorrect in Korean markings, although it is very nice looking.
During the Korean conflict, the Navy and Marines fielded either F4U-4 or -5, which had a 4-blade prop, different cowling, and a redesigned canopy, plus other less obvious or hidden upgrades. Go to Ski's profiles to see a correct version:

In fact, my new avatar features Korean conflict Corsairs on the USS Boxer. I looked closely at the photo and these are -4's with the chin scoop on the cowl. Ski's profile shows a -5 with the 'cheek' scoops.
