Martlet Mk. III 805 NAS

Hi All,
Found a picture of this one the other day and felt it would make a nice addition to finish off the Martlet's. What I found interesting was the black undersurface instead of the Non Secular Light Gray. These aircraft were part of a shipment of 30 Mk. III's for Greece. But, were retained after the German takeover. They would have come from the factory in an all gray scheme. The Middlestone and Dark Earth were added later. It appears to have been done a little at a time as some photographs show. Its for The B24 Guys F4F-3.
I have some more work to do so, it should be done in a couple of days.
Thanks,
Bub

Hi All,
Sorry for the delay on this. Being sick for a week and working the night shift caused this to be a little behind. I found that I had made some mistakes and fixed them. I could find nothing that indicated the black undersurfaces and went back to the Non-Secular Light Gray, also the numbers and letters were black. I'll include some extra stuff with the download. It needs a little touching up and damage textures. After that, I'll get it uploaded.
Thanks,
Bub

Hi All,
Finally finished this and got it uploaded. It has some extras so be sure to resd the ReadMe. I used Blood Hawk's engine, British bombs, Kelti props and F4F droptanks. Sorry for the delay, with being sick, working nights and catching up on, my favorite, yard work it took a little longer than expected.
Have fun,
Bub


Rami; Could you do me a favor and delete the following, F4F-4_Wildcat_Atlantic, Martlet_Mk.II_No881_Madagascar, Martlet_Mk.III_No805_Western_Desert and Martlet_Mk.IV_N0893_NAS. These have all been replaced with newer versions. When I finish the re-do of the FM-1 Wildcat, I'll need the same.
Thanks
