I'm a sucker for weathered and worn paint schemes.
Looks great!

Mal Yellow 11 has been done along with Blue and Pink, the yellow one in the final picture (X-2, the drone controller) so far I can't find a decent shot of the Nose art. For those that don't know these aircraft were used in Op Crossroads to gather radiation, they were radio controlled, hence the different coloured tails (the RF frequency), the onlt other way of recognising these drones was the extended or raised tail wheel.

Something I've never seen before in that first image - note how the wingtips are `ballooned`... anyone know the reason for this? Data recorders? Extra fuel?

Bruce, The Hellcats look great! I started to do those a long time ago, but could never get the correct color of red. Looks like you nailed it perfectly!

Just a constructive opinion, but raise up the fuselage roundels on 14, 11, and 2, they are getting cut off at the bottom:salute:

Edit: Also, just my opinion, I would turn off the lighter and darker panels in the weathering section in the template. I have looked at a lot of photos of painted Hellcats and have not yet seen one with the lighter and darker panels like the template. This is just my opinion of course ;-)
