RFN F-8 Crusader is out!!

[menef]

You mean like black or a sooty look like the guns were fired?

Not exactly ... I mean that the hole containing each gun should be let's say closed inside with a black circle because the guns are not modelled in 3D and it seems ( at least to me) that the guns ports
are 4 through holes that on certain points of view ( look at the pic ) show the hollow inside of the fuselage ... anyway , it's a very small graphic matter -

I think I get your drift....I remember when I used to clean and load those guns many moons ago, I would see the the tips of the gun barrels. This looks like no guns are installed (Hollow)
Never noticed that before.

Vmfs 235

I found a color picture of the VMFA 235 that I posted above. Looks like it is a candidate for the wash rack.

That's what you get from firing Zuni 5 inchers, and 20mm's with no flash suppressors -

Just spent the last hour trying to get rid of a dark patch under the probe fairing (see above); now I see everybody's got it. What the Dickens (or similar!) is it??

Just looked in P3Dv4.5 - doesn't appear.

Omar the mascot

Just a bit of info on that mark on the tail:

In 1961 the Sundowners' traditional mascot, "Omar," was conceived by squadron enlisted men to mark the transition to the F-8D Crusader. The triangular stick figure appeared on VF-111 aircraft and squadron spaces. During the 1960s, VF-111 flew four different versions of the Crusader (F-8C/D/E/H).
