Corrected Hellcat textures

I was able to get my hands on an old F6F Hellcat Aircam book that is actually a good reference for markings, unlike most of the series. It alerted me to the fact that several of the Hellcats I posted earlier had partially incorrect markings. Typhoon Willie also contacted me to let me know some had incorrect damage textures. These newly posted Hellcats correct the errors.

Rami, would you please delete the original download files with these corrected files? Thank you.

Description: 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.

VF-20 aboard USS Enterprise August - November 1944 then transferred to the USS Lexington (CV16) December 1944 to January 1945. I believe this marking is from the Lex period.
