You know I did that little mod for the Swordfish - well I thought it ought to have something to fly off - like a MAC ship and I asked Uncle Tgt to paint it - and he asked if I could do HMS Audacity, the Royal Navy's first escort carrier and so....

HMS Gadila MAC ship equipped with four Swordfish IIs and then IIIs and HMS Audacity equipped with six ( or eight ) Martlet IIs ( FAA Wildcats ) - not quite ready - the F4Fs need a FAA skin

There's a skin for Eric Browns' F4F for the Donationware F4Fs, not sure if it's the one actually used on Audacity tho'.
 
At one time there was an atlantic skin for the F4F on the old defunct Aluminium Cloud website, somebody might still have it.

Scrub that. I just remembered it was for USN(white and green).
 
I have an ATO skinned F4F-4 ... star/bar insignia (44?) ... If someone needs that skin, send me your e-mail address in a PM and I'll get it off this evening.
 
Martlet

That's some skin Uncle - just what I need 'cos I've just uploaded the two carriers - but don't tell Collin

baldy

Ps I can't get my head round why anyone would want to hack a site like ours - what's with these people ?
 
Very nice Martlet, Uncletgt!

For more skins, I think Revev uploaded a whole bunch of FAA skins for overhauled Wildcat, Hellcat and Avenger.

Cheers!
KH :ernae:
 
revev did the Hellcat and Avenger, but not the Wildcat. bub did that. I was research bod on these endeavours

There are some RobH Wildcat skins for the Donationware bird. I believe one of those was Winkle's.
 
RAF_Drake did these for the stocker about 9 years back. I don't have the download links anymore, or his email addy for gaining upload permission. I think he may be a member of the RAF662 Squad and forum, so he may be accessible. But these skins should also be redone for B24 Guy's OH Wildcat before uploading.
 
Martlet skin

Thanks Bearcat and others for all your suggestions - I think Uncle Tgt's are my first choice

baldy
 
He is certainly up there in the 'skinning stakes' isn't he?
 
He's certainly made my stuff look good - that bub did some good stuff with Wildcats too

Hi All,

Thanks for the kind words for my "meager offerings". RobH, did a repaint of Sub. Lt. Eric Brown's Martlet when he was on the HMS Audacity. Its in his files and the download does work. (Thanks SOH Crew) BTW, great looking Martlet, Uncle.

Take care,
Bub

Having trouble Uncle ?

Try this
