Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat - VF42 USS Yorktown -  Battle of Coral Sea May 8, 1942. 

This aircraft was flown by Ens. E. Scott McCusky during the Coral Sea battle, downing one Zero. He recovered low on fuel aboard the USS Lexington, just in time for that ship to be sunk by the Japanese. This plane was still aboard when it sank. McCusky survived and went on to fly with VF-3 at Midway, scoring another 3 kills during that battle and finishing the war with a total score of 15.5.


V.4

Updated Aug. 1, 2004 New 3DZ with interior cockpit frames and shaded skin.

The 3DZ model is a completely redone version of a wireframe of the Wildcat from Microprose's "1942: Pacific Air War". This update version corrects the much of the shape and improves the skins.  
 

For use with Charles Gunst's ECA (Enemy Coast Ahead) Panel. It uses the P-47C slot and the markings are designed to use in the Pacific Tide Campaign and Guadalcanal Campaign.


To install, just unzip the common *.TPC and *.3DZ files into your EAW directory which provide the basic shapes and cockpit. Then choose which of the markings you want to load, open that folder and install the *.TPC files inside into the EAW directory too. Only one version can be loaded at a time.

The .PCX files for these aircraft are included if you'd like to try your hand at adding your own markings. 

Have fun,

Captain Kurt
