Geeze Geo, don't know how you do it. It may have been in a different squadron at some point too. I will keep trying to find pictures of -7s and see if I come across it by accident.

This MIGHT be it, but I'm leaning towards it being 133716. I took it into photoshop and didn't get anything conclusive, but I think I see the top of the 6 on there.
Now that I look at it again, I think the side number is 10, NOT 11 like I originally thought, which would make it 716. 11 appears to be beside it, but what serial it is, I do not know.

The aircraft in your link is #11 and here's a fly in the ointment, #8 but with a dark hub. Caption say Indochina...

After pulling that into photoshop, I'd say that isn't it. While I can't read what the number is, the shapes of the last couple of numbers definitely look wrong. #19 is also out.

Yep, got your emails. This will be a pain. I may just buy that magazine, or hope someone on the forum has it. I've been looking at every squadron as it is and haven't come across anything.
Here you are a better shot of the Corsair. Undoubtedly it's the 133716 one. The pic source ... Tebessa Album souvenir

Thank god there were only 4 squadrons and 90+ aircraft. I'm outta here so you're on your own, with the help of others we hope. If you don't find it in seven days, I'll start looking at the other squadrons. In the mean time, I don't know if you've seen this site, it's where I got a few numbers...Home > AVIATION DE CHASSE ET ATTAQUE - French Navy Gallery

Nice one Cory. From the pictures it looks like a good candidate for some weathering.

I've just seen a decal set for Aeronavale Corsairs Cory, at MDC. They have them in 1/48th scale, and I can get the details if you're interested - I didn't not which units etc, but it looked to be a nice sheet.

No luck Geo, but to be honest other than that day I haven't had much time to look. I'll probably just buy that magazine and hope for the best.
That would be great Terry, thanks!

It's their decal sheet D48001, priced at £6, and for the F4 -U7 and AU1.
The photo on their web site shows a single sheet, with Aeronavale roundels, fin flashes and what appear to be stencils and unit badges. A large part of the sheet is printed in white, and doesn't show up very well on the screen, so I couldn't tell if these were serial and code numbers, or whatever, although I'm guessing they are.
Unfortunately, the web-site doesn't provide a description either, but you can see them if you go to Model Design Construction, then look at 1/48th scale decals.
I just happened to spot them when I was looking for details of their oxygen hoses.

Ahh, so it's the Adeco sheet! Through my searching I had heard of it but couldn't find anywhere to buy it, and I still can't find a description with a list of the aircraft included. I do know there are one or two AU-1s on it.
