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 all the *.TPC and *.3DZ files into your EAW folder. To un-install, remove the files from your folder.

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

Have fun,

Captain Kurt D.M.M.
