Carriers

You know I did that little mod for the Swordfish - well I thought it ought to have something to fly off - like a MAC ship and I asked Uncle Tgt to paint it - and he asked if I could do HMS Audacity, the Royal Navy's first escort carrier and so....

HMS Gadila MAC ship equipped with four Swordfish IIs and then IIIs and HMS Audacity equipped with six ( or eight ) Martlet IIs ( FAA Wildcats ) - not quite ready - the F4Fs need a FAA skin

... but then they'd need some red duster merchantmen to escort ....

There's a skin for Eric Browns' F4F for the Donationware F4Fs, not sure if it's the one actually used on Audacity tho'.

At one time there was an atlantic skin for the F4F on the old defunct Aluminium Cloud website, somebody might still have it.

Scrub that. I just remembered it was for USN(white and green).

I have an ATO skinned F4F-4 ... star/bar insignia (44?) ... If someone needs that skin, send me your e-mail address in a PM and I'll get it off this evening.

That's some skin Uncle - just what I need 'cos I've just uploaded the two carriers - but don't tell Collin

Ps I can't get my head round why anyone would want to hack a site like ours - what's with these people ?

another screenie, this time overflying "mother" ...

Very nice Martlet, Uncletgt!

For more skins, I think Revev uploaded a whole bunch of FAA skins for overhauled Wildcat, Hellcat and Avenger.

Cheers!

revev did the Hellcat and Avenger, but not the Wildcat. bub did that. I was research bod on these endeavours

There are some RobH Wildcat skins for the Donationware bird. I believe one of those was Winkle's.

RAF_Drake did these for the stocker about 9 years back. I don't have the download links anymore, or his email addy for gaining upload permission. I think he may be a member of the RAF662 Squad and forum, so he may be accessible. But these skins should also be redone for B24 Guy's OH Wildcat before uploading.
