A "hell" of a good job!

AGAS5,

Thank you for an OUTSTANDING skin set for Wolfi's Helldiver! I love the choice of a "clean" or "dirty" skin.

Helldiver lexington March 1942 ?

Can we have some more info or links on this skin and date since i never thought that aircraft was developed or operational soon after the outbreak of war,

The Lexington after the CV2 was CV16. Should it be VB-16? It is nice!

Has to be a "typ-o", ...VB-9 was aboard the LadyII w/ SB2c-4's as of 03FEB45...

...just in time for a quick trip to the Nakajima A/C factory NW of Tokyo, ...then on to Iwo Jima...

Sweet skin.

Thanks A.

[AGAS 5]

hmmm or a case of dyslexia on my part :woot:

My reference has it as " SB2C-3 white of VB-9, USS Lexington, 2 March 1945 "

Sorry about that guys....

Thanks for the kind comments and sorry for the delay - it was on my hard drive for far too long :faint:

Pete

p.s. I can't give a time line due to work stuff, but the others aren't to far away.... and I scrapped the ASW version because it's already been done.

[Blue Devil]

...My reference has it as " SB2C-3 white of VB-9, USS Lexington, 2 March 1945 "...

You are correct Pete, ...VB 9 got their -4's when they transferred to the Yorktown ~ 06Mar45...

...that would make it a -3.

Thanks again for the sweet skin, ...and am lookin' forward to the next batch.

The only operational dive bombers in march 1942 where the dauntless and vindicator,the helldiver only appeared after the massive buildup took place, essex carriers hellcats etc etc. Surprised the librarian uploads without questioning an error so flagrant,

:spider:We don't have a librarian. We have a volunteer who checks the files for correct submission format. He does not check the descriptions for historical date references. Judas Priests! What fracking planet are you from? :costumes::costumes:

[erufle]

Last time I fracked somebody she died!:focus: . I will get mine updated as well.

The Helldiver first saw combat November 1943 from the Bunker Hill while attacking Rabual.During the Marianas ( June 1944 ) Enterprise and Lexington still had the Dauntless which were replaced by the Helldiver after the battle.

Tango,

If you have any opinions about anything, I want to encourage you to express them. Don't be shy! :costumes:

Just make sure you don't go to far, buddy!

Very nice skin and authentic dark sea blue gloss which applied in CFS2 is very dificult.only FDG 2 with their hellcat got it right in the past.

[Ghostrider]

Go on, AGAS 5!

[AGAS 5]

For those that haven't noticed, the pic above (17-B-1) has the wrong insignia on the wings... I'll post up a fix later tonight.

Sorry about that guys.... might have to leave the uploads until weekends I think..... I keep missing things when I'm tired

[Ravenna]

Great work Pete! Many thanks!:applause::applause::applause:

[Jaxon]

Thanks to Pete, I was able to fill some last gaps and uploaded a bunch of sites about Air Groups on US carriers.
All data should be pretty accurate, as I used a book of a famous USN historian as souce:

USS Lexington (http://www.michael-reimer.com/CFS2/CFS2_Profiles/PTO_Allies_USN_CV-16_Lexington.html)

others (http://www.michael-reimer.com/CFS2/CFS2_Aircraft_Profiles.html)

Many thanks for the nice skins to Pete, for the model to Wolfi and lets not forget the top notch Essex-class Carriers you can see there thanks to Collin!!

Don't feel too bad there, Agas. I spelled an uploaded file 'commom' instead of 'common' for the P-61.:icon_lol:

Nice paints by the way, Thank You!

P.S. I wonder if Douglas could rename the file for you perhaps.
