Sweet!!!

Have you done any other FAA aircraft with invasion stripes? Wish they'd update skin size for the F4U, F6F, TBM etc.

Sadly, with the current art the only other FAA D Day plane I could do is the Seafire, the others have too many limitations.

I'm going to be tied up with F4Fs and FM-2s for a while, I've got plans for 6 or 7 in total. However I'll be doing an F4U-1 and an F4U-1D template soon.

I don't think the NZ F4U is going to work however. IIRC the NZ Hawgs were actually F4U-1As, not F4U-1s like the one shown here. HTC won't accept this sort of substitution, they rejected my VF-17 F4U-1 for this reason. It won't work as an F4U-1D either, since there are numerous bugs which mean you can only do the D in an all dark blue scheme.

Greebo, going to Duxford tomorrow and they have a couple of airworthy F4Us, F4F and F6F if you want pictures of anything in particular on them (text/writing etc.). Think one of the F4Us is a FG-1, is that equivalent to a F4U-1D?

Think the FG-1 is just a Goodyear built F4U-1D. Thanks, I'd like a closeup shot of the fabric areas of the F4F, or any of those planes. Stitching, that sort of thing.

Okay, will do, just have they don't have the F4F's wings folded back!
