I've just uploaded my new Hellcat skin to AH skins. This is of a Royal Navy Hellcat Mk II of 1844 Squadron FAA serving in the Pacific in 1945.

Thank you guys. Could also do a USN Hellcat pretty quickly if anyone's interested.

Slave driver! OK, USN Hellcat now up at AH Skins. This is an aircraft I spotted in a photo of USS Randolph's deck, in the book "Hellcat" by Barrett Tillman. It is probably from either VF-12 or VBF-12, but could be VF-16. Anyone know for sure?

It's a VF/VBF-12 squadron for F6F-5 Hellcat and it was the most colourful Hellcats in the Pacific in 1945. I believe they shot down 125 Japanese aircraft in 1945 before War ended.

Hey Greebo we need you to do a FAA 1945 skin on the F4U-1D (Corsair IV) next

Would you consider this one?

Btw the serial # is KD658 but its not visible in that photo, as well, the wheel covers have "15" on them. Im sure better sources can be found for it somewhere. Its Lt. Hampton Grays Corsair IV (F4U-1D), British Pacific Fleet, 1945. Thought it was one of the better looking schemes.

Nice job on the Corsair kit, Squire. I've been mulling over what skin to do next and Lt Gray's aircraft is certainly a candidate. The only thing that puts me off is it such a similar scheme to the last one. OTOH at least it is a welded aircraft (suffering from rivet fatigue after the F6F)

I'll think about it for a few days and let you know.

Greebo · « **Reply #13 on:** April 06, 2004, 06:59:21 PM »

Thanks for the confirmation Rafe, thought it was probably V(B)F-12, but just wanted to make sure.
