VMF-211 "Wake Island Defenders" F4F-3 Wildcat

F4F-3 Wildcat Skin for SF/WoV/WoE Original Release: Nov. 10, 2005, Updated 12/18/08

VMF-211 "Wake Island Defenders"

(looks like this is yet ANOTHER one that never made it here to CA!!!)

==UPDATED 12/18/08!!!!!==

-From the Original Readme:

This skin represents the 12 Wildcats from Marine Fighter Squadron 211, during the Defense of Wake.

I must apologize for the doubts I have about historical accuracy, as the 3 artworks and 2 photos I have or have seen, the only numbers visible are "8" and "11". So I made the assumption that aircraft 1 - 12 were flown off one of the carriers to reinforce the Marine garrison. If this is incorrect, I extend my apologies to any of our Marine brothers and sisters out there playing this.

The placement of the numbers on the upper wing, nose and vert tail is as of my research on the other -3 skins I did, for the approximate same time period. As none of the art or pics showed the tail, I safely assume this is correct.

And as today is the 235 Birthday of the Corps, this is my way of saying "Thank You" for almost 2 and a half centuries of service to our Great Country

Semper Fi!

--Update Info:

This package will replace, in it's entirety, the VMF-211 skin released in 2005.

The update includes a completly REDONE skin, based off new templates I created for some other Wildcat mods, ALL new decals (of the correct font and size) including BuNums and the aircraft name tag on the rudder.

-= NOTE: You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =-

-== This aircraft has been tested in SF/WoV/WoE and post-patch WoI (8/08) as well as post 9/08 & 10/08 SF/WoV/WoE. There still are some 'issues' with prop-plane flight models, but there has been a MARKED improvement!! You use it in these Post Patch Environments at YOUR own risk ==-

As usual, there's a nice conscise ReadMe for you to NOT ignore...so please read it!!

Expect the full version of the -3 'cat to appear very shortly...
