SBD Dauntless, VB-3 USS Yorktown, Battle of Midway Skin - For SF/WoV/WoE WW2 PTO Installs-

This is a skin set representing VB-3 aboard USS Yorktown, June 4, 1942 during the Battle of Midway.

Yorktown and Hornet used a slightly different numbering style than Enterprise; having the numbers aft of the fuselage star. This may be because a lot of these aircraft were possibly Lexingtion survivors (unlikely), or transfered over from Saratoga as she had returned to Bremerton for repairs.

 

It's a standard non-specular blue over gray, with the "modex" or plane-in-group numbers in black. Aircraft type name and BuNum decals are also included.

It's pretty much standard for the time; it was transitional period just after the ordered removal of the VERY disliked enlarged star w/meatball and the 13 red and white rudder stripes. Due to the extingincies of war, I'd think getting the numbers placed and painted properly was NOT a high-priority item <wink>

 

-= 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 ==-

 

A pretty easy to follow install sequence is in the enclosed read me. It dosen't even need decoding, as it's in plain language, NOT JN-25

 

Good Hunting!
