I love that Potez 75  Someone (can't remember who) does a kit of it

Funny that, I was thinking EXACTLY the same! It turns out it's Akatombo in 1/72 at a bargain price of $57 in the US! (GULP!

Akatombo, that's it

Which is why the French first looked at using that weird aircraft, the name of which escapes me, which was a two-seater twin boomer, for SS11 missiles.   

The Potez 75, an aircraft after Tophe's heart if ever there was one! 

That's the beastie!  Fixed, spatted undercariage as well.

Can't tell with this Russian site, but  this seems to be a real proposal for a straight wing Corsair.

Seems to carry British missiles, no HVAR?

Was reading an article on Corsairs, came across a mention of the "Piñas" bomb... Seems to be a clusterbomb, any pictures of it around?


Also, Corsair makes an appearance at Khe Sanh, until the guy noices he has mistaken it for a A-1. We have seen that before, haven't we?

Reengining Corsair with turbocharged Allison V-1710-111/113 ...

What if installing a Chrysler IV-2220 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_IV-2220 in a Corsair?

Do I need to stretch more the nose?

All your comments will be wellcome.

Thanks.

....

The Crysler weighs about the same as an R-2800 - but the R-2800's weight is mainly out there in front. Just eyeballing this, and a regular Corsair profile, I suspect you should stretch the Chrysler nose a little to balance the aircraft, especially with the radiator in the rear fuselage.

You might want space for a fuel tank in front of the cockpit, too.

Use a Corsair FG2 as a base instead

According to Wikipedia F2G is only 4 cm longer than F4U.

According to Wikipedia F2G is only 4 cm longer than F4U.

It's all in the packaging, the firewall was moved aft in the F2G, compare the location of
the exhausts between the F4U and the F2G.


F4U-1M (Wasp Major testbed) nose to nose with R2800 powered Corsair.

The scrap view of the F4U-1M in the centre of the drawing also shows the
difference when compared to the profiles at the right.
BTW the XF4U-3B was turbosupercharged.

[ysi_maniac]

Here you can see F4U, F2G and my design.

According to wikipedia F2G was only 4 cm longer than F4U

Anyway in my definitive version, the plane will be 72 cm longer than standard F4U (measured in the base of propeller), so 1 cm more in my 1/72 model.

I have moved radiator a little forward,
