F4F-3 Wildcats Wake Island

[bub]

Hi All,
I found this the other day and did some "retouching". This is one of the remaining four Wildcats on Wake Island. There are three others. If anyone is interested I'll get them uploaded. Its another part of my rebuilding process. These are for The B24 Guys F4F-3 Wildcat.
Thanks,
Bub

Thanks Bub.

Right now the only jet fighter I'm using is the F-80 ( your skin ).All the others are prop planes.This campaign is only done to late July so far and the F-86 didn't see action until after November.So I have long way to go before it gets used.

As for the Panther I released a USN Korea campaign with it Corsairs and Skyraiders a few months ago.Eventually I may need some USMC skins for it but that's down the road.

...for your beautiful work.

Hi All,
Here's the #10 all done. I just have to finish the other three and I'll get them uploaded. There will be some extra textures and a new dp and cfg file. Hope to get them in the mix soon. Again, thanks for all your support.

Thanks Bub....they look great. Can't wait to try them out on my F4F-3.

Hi All,
Sorry for the delay on these Wildcats. I found some "errors" and had to fix them. If you look at the last screenshots and this current one, you'll see the difference. I'll get these packaged up and uploaded in the next day or so.
Thanks again,
Bub

don't you hate when the details don't line up.

B_H,
Drives me crazy. I would fix one thing and another would pop up. Well, all the fixes are done, and it should be "correct" within the limitations of the model. Hope to have it in the mix today or tomorrow.

my PSP has a bad habit of cutting the bottom off of cut images. so i know the feeling when you have to go back and fix things like that.

[bub]

B_H,
It's not the one's I can't always control that drive me crazy, it's the one's where I just plain out and out screw up and have to go back and fix them. Somehow I deleted all the "r" textures and had to recreate all of them. Sometimes I just need a good swift kick. Or, pay attention more.

....I was just in my local library and they had the book "Left to die.." The story of the men at Wake Island. In it were some close-up pictures taken by the Japanese, after the fall of Wake, of the wrecked F4F Wildcats piled on a beach.

Fibber,
I have this photo and one of a shot up Wildcat on the beach. I found some other info which I used, along with this pic, to paint up these aircraft. I think I got it right. If not, it is what it is.
Thanks for your input,
Bub

[Fibber]

..........that is the same photo I saw. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!

[bub]

Fibber,
And to you and yours, Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks Kelti, and a Happy Turkey Day to you and yours. I hope you don't mind me putting your props in with these repaints. Its just that the aircraft isn't complete without one of your prop textures.

I downloaded this one... but there are no model config. files... used the ones from the 24guy... and the model does not show at all...
do you have an appropriate model config.?

its not a complete aircraft. only the repaint and some extras. I think it will need the OH wildcat. then add the aircaft CFG and textures to that.

The -3 was done as a complete stand alone a/c by the B24 Guy (for ease of install)

I had the B24 Guy's in my CFS2... so I put the Wake textures (redone by me) on it as an extra texture and it works fine...
Thanks all for the advise...
Cheers...
(I redid the 2D panel... posted it in my 2004 thread... if anyone wants the bmp... just PM me).
