HR F4F-3 Wildcat, VF-42, Scott McCuskey's F4f-3 operating from the USS Yorktown in 1942.

Skin by DeanH, and elements and retouching by Col. Gibbon. Distance skin adapted from a skin by Edward.

New HR 3dz by Col. Gibbon based on the updated LR model by Capt Kurt. 
Many thanks to Moggy, who fixed the RS issues with this model.

Info from Capt Kurt's original model:

The 3DZ model is a completely redone version of a wireframe of the Wildcat from Microprose's "1942: Pacific Air War" which was developed by myself. This update version corrects the wing hardpoints locations. The 3DZ programming work to relocate the hardpoints was originally solved by Claudio on an earlier iteration of a PAW F4F wireframe, I believe. If anyone knows differently please let me know. I adapted the solution to this model. The under wing PCX textures were originally done by J. Salty Salter. The original canopy transparency was developed by Woolfman. 

There is a new file mra.tpc, which will be needed with the next patch, as this will give the distance model full tra effect, something which currently does not work with this model at the moment. I will at that time add a working prop to the distance models, something which is missing at the moment.

Over and out.

Col. Gibbon
