    Those are superb repaints on that shined Bearcat, L'iguane. Good stuff, mate!

    Beautiful skins!

    The Thai Bearcat liveries have a very appealing way of making the oriental fondness for bright color look good, and not overly garish, to the western eye. At least to these western eyes.

    Completely agree with you, they are original, colorful while being sober enough and appealing for my "warbirds" taste !

    Thanks from me also, giving attention to some interesting cold war warriors, your post-war mustangs still get a lot of airtime from me and so will this Bearcat.

    cheers ian

    When are these beautiful skins going to be posted... and where? Your polished bare metal finish is MOST convincing...
    (fertile ground for a good painter's weathering...) Fantastic work!

    Hello Gaucho,

    I still have some liveries to complete, the droppable tank mdl Milton shupe is working on will be an interesting addition, but from now, he needs the agrement of the original authors (see his previous posts)

    I might upload the Thai bearcat pack when finished, or keep waiting the MDL rework to be finished and include my liveries to Milton's update.

    I have a few additional idea of painting, racing bearcats (what if and real liveries) but it will take some time.

    Cheers

    It is possible to add a visor in VC... I'm working to adjust it... (size, and adjusted on sea level at very low altitude...)

    Would something like this work. Based on the few small drawings I could find and no real pictures, but the placement looks correct per the 3-view drawing; not sure of the bomb-shape though.

    @ Milton : The loading looks good (and pretty accurate) to me , here is a link for the full F8F series POH, at page 50 you get some illustrations of the weaponry and positioning.
    @ SOLOBO, at page 53 of the POH, there is also a description of the gunsight and its different modes

    This POH is really helpful and covers general operation of the F8F with variants differences as well as engine parameters and performances.

    Sergio (Dbolt) made some great US bombs for CFS2, widely accepted as accurate size and shape over there. dunno if they would help, might be able to load them into mdlx to have a close look.

    it all looks awesome, makes me really miss FS!!

    Well, thank you Sir. But, do not wish to buy it for one page.

    If you see any issues with what I have, shoot me a screen shot of that page, or I will map the munitions and be done with the changes.
    I have messaged Oldliner52 and will await a response.

    Thanks JDT; the bombs and torpedo look very nice. Mine were done from a 3-view to scale but for another aircraft. Not sure exactly what this aircraft carried but I sized per the small chart I had for it.

    Really? All I got when clicking on the download was "Reserved for members" or to that effect.

    EDIT: Ah, blocked scripts ... got it now. :-) Thanks

    I didn't click download, but was able to just view it in the browser, all 117 pages. If one was to accidentally hit print screen on a page of particular interest, that might just be utterly awful.

    The good thing is this publication is available for viewing without having to buy, as JDTinball mentionned it.
    Glad to see you accessed it now

    The loading, bombs and HVAR look great to me ! Feel free to go ahead. I can give a try at bombs and rockets textures !

    Cheers

    I will proceed with re-mapping the under-wing munitions and probably the wing guns.

    Not sure what is required to allow the rockets and bombs to be "droppable" but I do have them set up so the hard points and munitions are separate.
    I will use appropriate naming conventions so they can be individually addressable.
