F6F-5 Hellcat VF-17 aboard the USS Hornet CV-12, March - August 1945. The white nose was a temporary recognition marking for USN fighters during strikes on the Japanese mainland.
V.2 corrected markings
Note: VF-17 is usually associated with the Corsair. However this was the first VF-17. It was de-established on April 10, 1944. A new VF-17 squadron was re-established at Alameda Naval Air Station the same month, flying the Hellcat. It was assigned to the Hornet and participated in the Iwo Jima and Okinawa invasions, destroying 146.5 Japanese aircraft from March 18, 1945 to April 17, 1945.
This is Allen's F6F-5 Late model fixing the tail texture distortions.
The model is shined and includes new air files, dp file, Wolfi's US_Pilot figure and new panel. You must delete the US_Pilot folder from your AIRCRAFT folder or it will override the pilot figure included here.
YOU NEED Dbolt's US Weapons PACKAGE FOR THE WEAPONS LOADOUTS.
