Vought OS2U Kingfisher skinpack

[fde_bressy]

Here is a set of five new textures for Piglet's Vought OS2U Kingfisher.
Three textures are made through modifications of original textures or repaints made by SteveB aka Stalin, who did most of the job, mine being only an adaptation to produce these new textures:
RAAF-Vought Kingfisher T.Mk.I: Originally intended for use by the Netherlands East Indies.
Arrived in Australia 04/42 and Received at Rathmines 22/04/42.
Put into Service 11/05/42.
Served with the Seaplane Training Flight, later 3 OTU and had a large 4 marked on it.
Made from a picture I found on the Net

USN-Vought OS2U-3-Training version: This is a remake for a texture made by Mike Morissey Paul Clawson's Vought OS2U Kingfisher.
I modified original textures from Piglet's aircraft to make this texture, because I like the yellow wings together with blue fuselage..

USN-Vought XOS2U-1: this is the prototype as it appears on two pictures I found on the web.

This is the original picture of the Kingfisher prototype

The two next textures are 100 % mine, made thanks to the repaint kit, and based on a decal sheet from Yellowhammer Models.
I noticed that we had no texture in the classical 3 colours scheme (Non spec. sea blue, intermediate blue and non spec. white).
This gap is now filled....

USN-Vought OS2U-3: aircraft of the USS New-York in December 1944

USN-Vought OS2U-3 USCG: US Coast Guard aircraft with a submarine kill marking on the nose, and an unusual demarcation of the three colours.

I also attached to each model my version of the DP file, with Mk.53 depth charges.
I just hope these texture will fit with the new version of the Kingfisher that was annouced some time ago..
Good flights to all of you.
Comments and questions are welcome
The file will be uploaded within some minutes.
