Thanks! Now that's what I call a response! Everything I need, all in one concise list. Thanks so much, Milton, and thank you so very much for your talents. NC
 
Next out of the paint shop, VAW-12, Det 42, USS Forrestal, 1961

Finishing this up. Found one picture and one drawing in an old Scale Aircraft Modelling magazine from 1989!

Wow Dave! That looks magnificent. Quite a special livery! Even an individual anti-glare panel. Makes this Willie Fudd a unique species.

I'm very much looking forward to this one. Thank so so much for all the great work. Very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Maarten

Hopefully, I'll have it up in the next few days. Gotta few tweaks to do!!! Many Thanks to Duckie, who found a larger, better copy of the one picture I had! Still no evidence of a Bureau number. It is captioned as a WF-2. Thanks for all the reponses. Still have a few more to do.

WF-2, USS Forrestal uploaded

Guys,

I just uploaded the WF-2, USS Forrestal a few minutes ago. Couldn't find a bureau number in any references, so it doesn't have one. Thanks Duckie, for the picture!

Dave, I just found this on the internet (forgot to write down the source:redface:):

"US Navy types: Anchored off Italy, USS Forrestal has sent five aircraft to Le Bourget to fly the flag of the Sixth Fleet in Paris. They are: Chance Vought F8U-2 Crusader (aircraft 146906 from squadron VF-103); Douglas F4D-1 Skyray (9065 from squadron VF-102), carrying a probe buddy pack; Douglas A4D-2N Skyhawk (147806 from squadron VA-83); Grumman S2F-3 Tracker (147533) and Grumman WF-2 Tracer (aircraft 404 from squadron VAW-12). But for technical reasons these ships are outshone by the two that have come from the Naval Air Test Center at Patuxent River, Maryland: a North American A3J-1 Vigilante (147852) and a McDonnell F4H-1 Phantom 2 (146819). Both these aircraft are powered by twin GE J79 turbojets with reheat, both are capable of exceeding M2, and neither has been seen in Europe before."

This must have been the 1961 Le Bourget Salon. (http://www.museeairespace.fr/fileadmin/user_upload/Pdf/presse/Communiques/avions-100-ans.pdf) Perhaps this info will be of help in finding the bureau number of the WF-2 Tracer 404 for your repaint.

Cheers,

Thanks Maarten! That is interesting. I looked over the photo pretty good and don't see it painted on the aft fuselage as it normally was.I suspect it may not have been painted on the aft fuselage due to the unusual rendition of the Navy lettering (i.e.U.S. NAVY vice NAVY only.) Still, it's a neat repaint and a worthy addition to the hanger!

prop dome mapping

Milton,

Where are the prop domes (front part of the hub) mapped to? I tried changing the color of the texture "chromespinner_t" and it didn't change it. Thanks!

Yeah, I love the repaint. She'll surely rumble through the flat quite often. :applause:
And Wow! What a beautiful S-2D is coming up. Love the shamrocks! :guinness:
