blackbetty Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Never going to finish this one in time for the deadline, but i think its the right place to start, so here goes: waiting for some parts for my corsair, so i put it on hold. i have been reseraching the F3D for quite a while and got the tigger vac, so no turning back now. this is what you get: 001 by karl holubar, auf Flickr Edited March 11, 2019 by blackbetty Alain Gadbois, LSP_Kevin, sandokan and 3 others 5 1

blackbetty Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) i want to do WF-17, because it has mission marks and was used on a Mig 15 kill. i dont know the number of the aircraft, as its very hard to find these out. i made an excel sheet with all known planes, their names, mission marks and stars as well as numbers if they are availible. here is the pic: 6083_Night_Wings_USMC_Night_Fighters_1942-1953 by karl holubar, auf Flickr can anyone read the names? these are not the pilot names (these are known - no pilot names were painted on the aircraft), they seem the be the crewchiefs Edited July 10, 2018 by blackbetty Starfighter, sandokan, BradG and 1 other 4
