After reading the excellent book : "The First Team - Pacific Naval Air Combat from Pearl Harbor to Midway." by John B. Lundstrom I couldn't resist making an adaptation of the beautiful F4F-3 Wildcat by Charles Lumpkin.
The result is : Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat, Bureau Number 5093, F-23 of VF-3 (Fighting Three) as flown on the morning of 4 June 1942 by Lt. Cdr. John S. Thach, USN at the Battle of Midway, when VF-3's six escorts tangled with the Zeros of the Japanese carrier force.
Jimmy Thach flew this aircraft in the action which saw him shoot down three Zeros and first use his "Thach Weave" in combat.
The Pp47cv.3dz file for a cockpit without central bar comes with this skin.
You can download it here or later at Airbuddha's and maybe Cord's site.
The next book I will be reading is : "The First Team and the Guadalcanal Campaign - Naval Fighter Combat from August to Oktober 1942." of the same author.
