F8F wip shots

I had the pleasure (I was completely thrilled the whole day actually) of seeing one doing amazing fly by's at this year Duxford Flying Legends airshow on Saturday. What an amazing sight and sound. And superbly flown by the pilot, who's name I cannot recall now. "Joker" was his call sign?

Anyway, fantastic airplane, huge prop, can't wait for flying it around myself in FSX!
 
:O!!!!<-----Shocked Look,Bruce!! Are you Beta testing for Vertigo Studio's? Is it close to release?
Looks fantastic BTW! Thanks very much for sharing w/t us!
Cheers!!
 
beautiful airplane.....those paint look real nice...i had the plaesue of being at the last mardera cal warbird airshow several years ago..maybbe they started ago..but it was billed at the time as the last one..they had a casa He111..and a F8F we sat on some grass betwwen the ramp and the taxiway...GREAT place to sit.i was shocked they let us sit so close..but the bearcat was right behind us,and it was sorta nosed in at a wierd angle...they fired it up and it blew a flame out of the "tailpipe" ( cant spell exasghst) so long and big it burned the grass and the ensueing grass fire burned up my moms lawnchair...lol...
 
Hi, Bruce is working is hands with the paintkit to see if it measures up :)

He'll more than likely be joining the beta too.

Expected F8F release date is unknown yet as we are working on a few goodies.

Im sure Bruce will keep you updated.

Cool!!!!!! Looks Great Dean,This aircraft is high on my radar!!
 
To me, the paint appears to lack gloss. Come on, the F8F was painted in high gloss paint, not the non-specular paint of early WW II.
 
Can we have one of these too please Bruce...

Nice and weathered too please!
 
I am soo wanting this, but I have never seen those giant cans on the end of the cannon, Are this for real? I hope not. Otherwise it's a great plane.

the paints are still work in progress at the moment, still trying to get my head around all the layers, yes the bearcat was painted in Gloss paint but due to the fact of the relatively short fuselage the entire back end from the exhausts back got covered in dirt and oil very quickly.

Beetle Bomb! Woooot! SOLD!

Love the planes these guys are doing! Drooling over the upcoming Navy jets!

(Though I'm not sure why there's a DC-3 in the works with a decent one in the box and an Aeroplane Heaven version coming from Just Flight...)
