VMF-211 skin

[Masherbrum]

What about a skin honoring a CMoH who flew while outnumbered, dropped 2 100lb bombs and strafed a Japanese Destroyer until it was sunk off of Wake Island?

then Captain Henry T. Elrod's F4F-3 (211-F-11) in the foreground upon landing on Wake after sinking the Destroyer Kisaragi and being strafed and knocked out of action.




Elrod on December 12th, he shot down 2 aircraft while engaging a flight of 22 IJN planes and for both actions (including the Destroyer sinking) was awarded the CMoH.   He died on December 23rd covering Navy personnel, moving ammunition to shore guns, two days before Wake Island was surrendered on the 25th.   

Just a request for a most forgotten, but most deserving Hero.

Seconded. I wish we'd get an update to the Wildcats soon to fix the wing mirroring.

I'll skin this for you Masherbrum. I guess HTC will probably forgive the mirrored wing insignia as its a fault of the skin.

Greebs, thanks mate!   It's just a weird request with a good story behind it.   Again mate, Thanks!

Here's the skin Masherbrum. Generally accurate apart from the wing insignia appearing on both sides top and bottom. Mirroring is something you just have to put up with on these old skin shapes.
