Title: Sea Gladiator as Grumman F3F
Post by: Chrival on February 04, 2017, 03:22:14 AM

Strange idea…

The Sea Gladiator doesn't really look like an F3F, to say the least but has very similar specifications, power and speed and, above all, an arrested hook.

At first, I’ve made this little thing just for my own but eventually decided to share it, just in case … So, this pack is just for fun.

That’s some skins for SeaGladiator mkII, dressed up as an F3F-1 from VF-3 "Felix the cat", USS Saratoga, circa 1938.
Set of skins for a full 18 planes squadron, according to Prewar USN colors and markings rules.
I tried to be as accurate as possible.

 A combat version for a 1939 war with Japan would be nice.

Did you consider the Grumman FF1 as a stand in  ?

I just about to mention that too.
That is a very cool model too.

The original skin-template Grumman FF1 needs a few more details and
updating stuff for my game.
I was already working on one and testing it when I got called on to do another airplane.
I will get back to it in 8 weeks from now. Too much to do at this moment.

But these are also very cool skins!
 Nice paint job Chrival  !  ;) Thank you!

Thanks for your kind replies. :)
And sorry for my late answer due to a long sickness and hospitalization.
