Big Hog is a great paint scheme to pick for your airplane. :-ok I really like the three-color camouflage a lot. I might just have to build another Corsair so I can do a Marine Corps example.

Your three-color scheme is looking nice, No.1 :-love

I started the decaling on my FAA machine tonight. This is quite an experiment as I am using the original kit decals that came with the Otaki model in the 1970s. These three roundels worked perfectly with a long time spent soaking in water. They even snuggled down nicely to the detail on the surfaces. I was actually rather amazed at how nice they are going on. I did run into a problem with the first fin flash that I tried as it started to break up around the edges a bit. I have several sheets so it isn't going to be a problem. I'll just clearcoat the rest of the decals before trying to apply them.
