Title: FJ3M_Fury Skin Request
Post by: Wad_Cutter on June 11, 2011, 03:34:19 PM

Hello Gents, not sure if you take skin request but I make one. I'm on the hunt for a skin of a FJ-Fury for a plane I saw on the USS Hornet CV-12 in SF Bay area. Build# 13205, Marine Sq.# 312 "Checkerboards". This aircraft carrier has a lot of aircraft on it but when I went down to the hanger deck it took my eye. Ss very clean like it was going 500mhp just sitting there. The 4 20mm canons could really do a job on a MiG. I took a few photos but because I didn't the right flash attachment, they didn't come out so good. I will be going back again this year just to take better pictures. Can any one help me on this request or tell me where I might find it? Thank for any help. waddy
