Now, if I may please. The next 2 pics show the difference in the wings between the -3 and the -4. I put a lot of work into making these as close to the real thing as possible. They are far from perfect, but neither am I. Not trying to be a jerk, but if we can complain about the shape of canopies, which lights are in the wrong spot, etc, etc, it's obvious most people really pay attention to detail here. I would appreciate the same, with the work I did. Unless you think it's horrible, then nevermind. Ha ha! Just kidding! Just compare the work I did to these compared to the original textures. Ok, I am done ranting, lol. I hope to start uploading these this weekend. My son has several basketball games this week:wavey:

After these, I am moving to Just Flights Hurricane. I owe some one here some fabric wing Hurricanes!:salute:

The new textures are great just what the Wildcat needed!

These are looking VERY historically accurate Rob. Just for people joining this, is this a result soley of the new painted textures or is it also necessary to de-shine the model using MW's app (e.g. did you settle on 60,60,60)?

Very nice. Always loved the early war red meatball and striped fins.

Thank you everyone!:ernae:

Expat, the -3 is at 60,60,60 and the -4 is at 40,40,40. I am still debating which one to stay with.
