F8F wip shots

How long did the Bearcat serve on the front line carriers? Did not make it to the SCB-27 mods I am betting....

All I have in drydock is the SCB-27 Essex since Michael Davies has a straight deck version. Lets see where it goes and if not... guess I have to go back to original straight deck.
 
Those last shots really show her off nicely Bruce,I downloaded and now they're my desktop ,Beautiful!!!
 
Glad your liking the shine, as I said earlier they're work in progress and can only get better, as for the pilot I'm sure Dean and the Guys with have the Airfix pilot in order by the time of release, as for shots of the VC "not yet".

Bruce
 
Yeah, pilot seems a bit to small.
I would love this livery to recreate the fantastic fly by's as performed @ Duxford airshow.

 
Hi Bruce,
This screenshots are beautyful!! I like this model very much.

Just one question : could the shine effect be managed through a texture map?
Times ago I had asked the same question to Dean regarding Hellcat, but Bearcat (as Hellcat) had been very used and weathered during its operational life (I'm thinking in particular about the French ones that I know better than others)... I'm not used to see such brand new F8F with French roundels...
Thanks and regards,
Sylvain

Very basically yes both with the alpha on both the main texture sheets and the 2 respective spec layers aswell.

Cheers for the comments,

Sylvain, just to let you know on the French vresion I have removed most of the shine, and have started to remove some of the paint.
