After posting I found the same plane that was in the book

For the pix of the F6F in color go here:

I'd love to do a Vraciu F6F Rattfink, but the fuselage mirroring makes it a non-starter unfortunately. Definitely on my to do list if HTC redo the F6F and give us an F6F-3.

Who do I contact to get the F6F fuselage fixed?  This would be really nice :D

I would suggest you start here (http://www.northropgrumman.com/), they will probably be able to help.

We have to wait for HTC to bring the F6F up to the latest standards, like they have just done with the F4U. Unfortunately there are a lot of planes that need remodelling and it isn't a quick job. We are talking weeks or months work for each one.

Currently they are working on the B-25 and there's no telling what plane they will do after that. Logically it might be something that's popular in the MA as this would make the overall look of the game better for more players. Or it could be a plane that will see use in an upcoming scenario.

The trouble is, all that stuff would appear mirror imaged on the other side of the fuselage. You would get "91" with a back to front 9. If I change the number to 11 or whatever, then its not really Vraciu's plane any more.

I understand.  I'm just giving you some more pix for when they get around to remodeling the Hellkitty :)
