There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The Blue angels are on the List Just ned somebody to paint fifth member number '0' 'Beetle Bomb', The yellow SNJ6 painted with very large Hinamarus (Japanese roundals).
Great job on Grumman's proto F6F!
Not sure about the color of the rudder...I don't seem to have any color photos of this particular bird. I suspect it might have been red?
Thanks.
Here's are some Grumman pics of the real bird.

the rudder in these shots look like it is been left as doped linen.

Super! Thank you Sir!
yep, I didn't see it there either.
I like your North Atlantic "what if" theme. The only thing I would change is to remove any hint of sheen or gloss to the paint as most of the paint schemes used matt or flat paint finishes.
