Not that it wouldn't be cool to the F6F-3 or the F6F-5N night fighter. :rock

Absolutely gorgeous.   Congrats Greebo and Waffle on another beautiful baby!

It appears the height of the windscreen glass has been fixed, too.   Thank you for remembering, HTC!

FANTASTIC !!! ... nice job Waffle and Greebo.

I only hope Alf is still around to redo the VF-27 skin, and if not, I hope someone else will do it ... I love that skin.

Somewhere out there, Mathman is shedding a tear over the new details of the Hellcat.

<<S>> Mathman, some of us miss ya! 


Doesn't he teach math at an private all-girls school with loose morals?  If so, I don't think he's going to be posting here anytime soon.

The F6F-5 skin is from VBF-12 flying from the USS Randolph in 1945. I picked it because partly because AH's CV skin is based on the Randolph (CV 15) and partly because I like the scheme. I found a deck shot of No 32 for reference, no idea who the pilot was though.

Greebo, can we now skin the plane number on one side of the plane w/o the mirror image coming out backwards?

BTW, pick up a H.A.C.K. sig. pic. :D  See below for details.
