Some WIP shots of some Curtiss O2C-1 Helldivers as flown by the USMC in the thirties. VJ-6M, VO-7M and VO-8M. VO-8M is the oldest squadron in the Corps. They are now VMA-231 and fly the AV-8B.
 
what model is that? I have been looking for that kind of fuselage combination of smooth metal and then the sectioned panels moving towards the tail..... the Vindicators are the same way. Need to look into that.

This is the Curtiss F-8C model by [SIZE=-1]K. Furuya[/SIZE]. The F-8C was renamed to O2C-1 whenit was given to the Marines. The model ports over quite well to FSX. This is the original aircraft used in the filming of King Kong.
