Same here, fat chance of seeing one. You have to wander in at just the right moment when the planets are in allignment or some crap to score something like this.

I was unpacking my DJ Corsair and noticed these pieces.

I believe they are to convert the 3 .50cals over to 4 20mm cannons carried by the F4U-1C.

BBI forgot to put mine in the box then because my lemon VMF115 checkerboard Corsair only came with rockets and drop tanks.

And no I didn't overlook them in the box.

Of course I can't even mount those drop tanks because they don't have the correct piece to fit into the wing slot. Oh well I have some M-80s left over from New Years and I think that Corsair is going to have an "accident".

VMF115,
Thanks for pointing that out. I've got the Checkerboard Corsair, I just never opened it up.

I've been hearing some glowing reports about this F4U and I'm soooo tempted to buy one but the only thing thats holding me back is that I already have Marines Dream and do I really need another 1/18th F4U? The guy at Military Toy shop said its an awsome looking paint scheme and its historically accurate on top of that. So I guess I will have to think about it over the weekend and make up my mind. But its tough.

YES, YOU NEED ANOTHER BBI CORSAIR. THE "DAISY JUNE" IS VERY NICE!

Spotted the "Daisy June" Corsair at the Boca Raton, FL Toys "R" Us.

Rang up $39.99

I got the last one.

MightyMustang · Post by **MightyMustang** » Fri Feb 02, 2007 8:06 am

Well I thought about it and I guess the only way I will buy Daisy June is if I see one up close and personal and hopefully I will able to do that this weekend. I will look it over and make up my mind then.

Checked out my TRU today and there wasn't even a Little Bird in sight let alone the Corsair.

No big suprise though.

TRU in Lafayette has a couple Daisy's on the shelf. Maybe one less after I get mine.....

The Tru in my area still has two of the daisy June corsairs - funny thing - they just restocked and now have 18 old Crow planes. I think they added about 8 to the shelf...

Skipping right over the F105 or F100 for the Phantom is not right, 2 companies making the same birds-jeezus. And what we would do without China, well I guess supporting the Red Army is the small price we pay to have our jollies.....

Well then you better get ready to puke because Old Crow and Big Beautiful Doll will be hitting the shelves soon from 21st.

I just purchased "Daisy June" today. I must say the nose art is quite detailed and it is a great paint scheme. I heard in a Bad cat news letter that this scheme is a fairly limited run... It is the first Corsair I have bought from BBI and it is no exception to their reputation for detail. My only contention is that I had quite a difficult time attaching the wing segments at the joints. However, I think it is a testament to the model's duribility that nothing broke during my battle to get them on.

Hey Guys, Any way of getting the sku number.

Because every time I go down there no BBI

so I will call from now on.

sicqnus · Post by **sicqnus** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 7:07 am

The upgraded guns are fine but why no four-bladed prop ? And for god's sake why BBI and 21st seemed unable to make landing gears that are not total crap ?!?
They are wrong in every way, wheels (not the good design), tires (not the good design and they are too thin), and legs (a disaster).

So much work in a plane and finally a few "details" that ruins the whole thing...

I don't think this bird should have a 4 bladed prop.

You're right Digger. I thought the late 1945 Corsairs (six units) carried by the USS Block Island - VMF-115 were F4U-4. They were is fact F4U-1D - Fitted with six 12.7 machine guns (.50cal) instead of the four 20.0 canons fitted on the F4U-5N. The engine was a P&W R-2800 Double Wasp, 18 cylinders - Power: 2200 hp. The 1945 F4U-4A still got the six 10.7 m.g. but a new P&W R-2800-18W (2100 hp or 2450 hp with water injection - 32W), the F4U-4B got the 20.0 canons.
