Hi All,
Here's my rendition of Gramps FM-2 Wildcat. It's in the colors of "Mah Baby" flown by Lt. J.D. McGraw of VC-10 off the USS Gambier Bay, CVE-73. He ended the war with five confirmed air to air victories. This a straightforward repaint, no bells and whistles. If there is interest I'll upload it as a complete package.
Thanks,
Bub

Word is this is not just another Wildcat. She's undergoing final testing now...so we'll soon see. Wink

Yes, indeed, a sweet little Wildcat! AND she comes configured for catapult launch**. These shots show her doing her catapult thing from the CAT version of Collin's USS Sicily....available at CG's Shipyard on the Fox Four site:

You don't necessarily need to use the catapult, but it adds to the realism and insures getting airborne with the heaviest of loads with no hassle.

She's getting some rough edges smoothed out, but Bub promises her soon. Cool

** Requires the Greenghost gauge installation per my catapult package available here at SimV.

Hi All,
Here's one more texture which I'll include in the package. It's "White 16" from the VC-79 off the USS Sargent Bay, CVE-83. It was flown by Lt. Francis P. McElroy. All I have to do is put together a ReadMe and make sure its all there and I'll get it uploaded.

Hi All,
Just waiting to hear back from Kelticheart about using one of his prop textures. Also, if we're lucky there may be "new" prop for the FM-2 in our future. Many thanks to all who helped with this project and to those who allowed me to use their "stuff".
