Looks great

Nice...might get one of these Vertigo Studio aircraft...might wait for the Bearcat though ..or a Seafury if they make one of those

Looking good Bruce , This aircraft was handed back to the US Marines in May 1944 , until Vertigo released the Dauntless i was at the belief the aircraft had the washed out coral blue and pale blue (blue grey) , receiving three batch,s 18-23-27 . I do have a template of this very aircraft .

The Wigram Museum down the road has the remains of one that went missing on a training flight in the Islands , i do recall the upper blue surface , their really wasnt much left of it . Im sure i do have the batch registration numbers , from here we should be able to track down any variation .

This repaint and several others can be found over at Sim-Outhouse only (for the moment until I up them elsewhere).

The colours have changed slightly.

yea still waiting for a FSX seafury !!

Vertigo seem to be covering the bases for the period's Naval aircraft , moving onto the Bearcat put them into the Fury,s domain .

You'll have to speak to Dan Dunn nicely, he made the SBD and Hawk for Vertigo.

[Ian Warren]

Maybe Dan Might want to move back to New Zealand , set up a studio here to work from

Word on the street is there is a Sea fury being made designer /builder unknown, also an F4F by the same people designing the spit/ hurricane for just flight .......so but not by Dan or Vertigo Studios.

I'm very sure its 'Areoplane Heaven' doing the Wildcat along with another Hurricane , I wonder maybe its 'Flying Stations' working on the Sea Fry ?
