Where is that post you made about the XF4U? Had yellow wings. I need a pic!!

XF4U Ignor the insignia and color shades. It was just a test.

Grab them while you can. Not sure if my website wil be up next month.









While this may make for an interesting skin offline ... two possible issues of note:

1: The XF4U-1 is actually physically different from the F4U-1.

2: It's doubtful that HT would accept the skin since it's of a prototype and not of a combat production aircraft.

Either way, I'd like to see how it eventually turns out.

Thanks Arlo

Website comming down?

[Arlo]

Probably.

[Rafe35]

Well, I guess Arlo gave you all information you need Hawk and contract me if you need anymore like F4Us Color Plate images.

Arlo u see tyhe VF-17 F4U skin templet?

[Arlo]

Yeah, not bad. I posted in the thread about the possibility (or not) of skinners being able to create a bubble canopy. But it's a nice skin.

[CurtissP-6EHawk]

OK here it is. Its not finished but I wanted Rafe to see it.

Look great, Hawk and I like the way you skin that XF4U-1.

Rafe I just added another shot so you can see the insignia on the wings. I need to redo the wings but this is the final befor the final!! Click the link and scroll all the way down.Another Angle

That's a good job Hawk... maybe when Pacific fighters comes out you can use the void temp for panel lines and weathering...  wonder if you can use it in H2H even though it isn't a registered skin?  

good to see a flight of 4 of those...

Excellent job, Hawk

I have several pictures of XF4U-1 include the first one crash into Golf Course, but they are all black and white pictures.  Also, I agreed with what Stream said about Panel Lines and Weathering, but Pacific Fighters hasn't be out yet and should be by this fall nor winter.  

If you get finish on that XF4U-1 skin, I would like to have it

The template I am using is from "Geebo". I am just repainting it and removing some "weathering". I need to redo everything and then layer it. The leading edg of the wing is a bicth. I found an area of the leading edge of the wings on the fuselage template
Anyway, when I find a good prewar insignia I will get it finished.

Nice job Hawk!  I was thinking of doing the yellow wing F4F (but I won't)  Do that one next.  Make your planes available on the Skins download site.

Eskimo, They are there. The template is there as well. I will add the XF4U a little later. I wanted to make the early F4F "yellow" skin for HTH and paint the "formation" red strips on the wings for squad practices but I need the template.
