Bruce,
Great job on Grumman's proto F6F!

Not sure about the color of the rudder...I don't seem to have any color photos of this particular bird. I suspect it might have been red?

Thanks.

Here's are some Grumman pics of the real bird.

Mal the first three are the XF6F-1 prototype the exhausts are larger and the pitot probe on top of the wing, these are the pics I went by

the rudder in these shots look like it is been left as doped linen.

Rob, I did check on your site before I replied.

yep, I didn't see it there either.

I like your North Atlantic "what if" theme. The only thing I would change is to remove any hint of sheen or gloss to the paint as most of the paint schemes used matt or flat paint finishes.
