Hi All,
This aircraft represents a FM-1 Wildcat, Black 4, BuNo 46776, off the USS Guadalcanal, CVE-60, of Composite Squadron VC-58 in 1944.
On June 4, 1944 the U-505 was captured on the high seas by the Guadalcanal and its Task Force, 22.3. It was the first enemy ship captured by the Navy intact since the War of 1812.
This repaint is for the B24 Guys OH F4F-4. The FM-1 was the same aircraft only made by the Eastern Aircraft Corp., General Motors.
Make sure to read the ReadMe. This is a complete aircraft with some extras thrown in.
Thanks and have fun,
Bub
