    Looks lovely Cees!

    Do you have any mid ‘50s gull grey schemes in mind?

    Yes I do, started on this one today. The Wings are from another texture. I've done only the fuselage.

    Request for F9F cougar textures

    Cees, Thank you for all your efforts, I would like to request a Blue Angels Demo Team repaint. I know there is a FT9F one but I have not found a single seat version. Thanks, Harley Dude

    How about a red one?

    QF-9G from PMTC China Lake, BuNo 130800:

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/skyhawkpc/40419999512

    Note, this one, and others including BuNo130893 were red, not the high-vis orange. You can see the difference on those airframes that were both orange and red:

    http://www.chinalakealumni.org/1961/1961mo.htm#thumb

    Scroll down 1/3 of the page to the photo that is captioned "NAF China Lake F9F-6K2 Cougar drone BuNo 127341, China Lake, 20 May 1961. Photo by Larry Ruybal."

    Same colour used on some of the Grumman Hellcat F6F-5K drones.

    Thanks for considering. Your VF-144 paint will be a real treat too.

    cheers,

    Martial Feron already did the gull-grey VF-61: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...d=183&id=23406

    It's a stunning repaint.

    The second image is an F9F-5 Panther. VF-154 never flew Cougars - they transitioned from Panthers directly to the FJ-3 Fury in about 1956.

    My pleasure. Your period with them spans when they wore arguably the smartest scheme.

    Goes with the job: I'll have to repair/ mend the rivets on top of the nose. Unexpected this is...

    It's one of the two textures included in the Cougar Two-Seater base package.

    I didn't think of that! I probably deleted it to save space.

    Think I'm ready with this one. (That is you never are really ready,but you abandon a repaint for another one.)







    P.S. I tried to make a different bumpmap for this one, but that wasn't a succes....

    I'm pleased with the way this bare metal looks.

    I've always wondered why some Panthers and Cougars had bare metal next to the fuselage while others didn't. Surely they didn't do it just to make modeler's lives tougher?

  23. #223
    The Blues did it most likely to make them more visually appealing as they made banked passes, etc. I can't say as I have seen every picture of a Panther or Cougar, but all the real ones I was around, and pictures I have seen, had non-skid there.

    The non - skid was necessary, because pilots and ground crews had to climb up on each wing and push in the four plenum chamber aux air doors to look for FOD, etc on pre-flights.

    As a student, I dropped a bunch of coins that were in an unzipped chest pocket into an open aux door as I leaned over - the instructor made me "dive the ducts" as punishment to retrieve them. Luckily the J-48 compressor section was surrounded by a screen mesh, so finding them lying in the bottom of the duct was relatively easy.

    The coins might never have hurt anything, but would have made a hell of a racket once the engine started --

    Learning a lot with this one! The Blue Angels letters are somewhat different from the ones on the real Cougars. Can someone help me with that?
