Title: adoption VF-5 F4U-1D USS Franklin
Post by: whiteman on June 06, 2021, 01:05:25 PM
This was adopted from fencer. I kept it to what he had done except for the large diamond that was on the wing, it seems there hasn't been great photos to get the right position or shape. Newer videos released show the position on the upper right wing clearly. I bought the book he did so I'm holding on just in case it shows a large G symbol on the wing. This aircraft would survive a bomb attack from a D4Y Judy on the Franklin March 19 and was and was transferred to the USS Yorktown.

I also added the diamond to the bottom left wing but might remove it as i can't find photos it was there.

Well done.

(I just cross-posted an update of one of mine.   Apologies as I did not intend to step on either of yours.)

Another amazing contribution in this adoption. There's definitely some love for the F4U in my squad, I'm sure they're excited.  :aok
