=Katze= Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Here are some early WIP images from a project I'm doing to expand on 1950s Korean war era aircraft we currently have. This will try to accurately replicate the F9F-2 early era Panther from the start of the Korean war. The aircraft will be capable of taking off and landing on capable carriers in the game. I'm hoping for a full fidelity module using the EFM with interactive cockpit physics and damage model. And able to use the common air to ground weapons found on the F9F-2 20mm cannons and up to two 1.000 pound bombs and unguided rockets for ground attack missions. See rest of this topic for regular updates! Edited March 27, 2024 by =Katze= 9
flyingscotsman Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 That'll be great for the Mig 15....which I'd have to dust off. But great for a Korean based missions and of course something else to mess up a carrier deck with. Best Wishes 1

AG-51_Razor Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 My Dad was skipper of VF-52. Do you suppose you'd be able to manage a skin for them as well? Not too complicated for both VF-51, -52. Just put a big "S" on the tail and Wings and their 3 digit side numbers begin with a "1" and "2" respectively. Thanks. Beautiful model by the way. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
WTFCSon Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 Been itching for a navy fighter from this era! 1
_Hoss Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) Dang, Razor you're mellowing with age.... LOL I think I was #119 Razor, I remember seeing a screen shot of it somewhere. I'm delusional to think the new IL2, is IL10. Start in Manchuria and work your way into North Korea. We get the Yellow Sea, Essex Carriers, Panthers, Skyraiders, Corsairs, fair winds and following seas. Damn, I can smell mid-rats ......... Edited October 13, 2023 by _Hoss Sempre Fortis
AG-51_Razor Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 "Damn, I can smell mid-rats ........." LMAO!! That just triggered a memory of mine....multi-colored meat on 2 pieces of stale, dried out white bread with a small packet of Frenches mustard!! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

AG-51_Razor Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 It's beautiful =Katze=! I don't believe that they put that a/c number on the tip tank though. In all of the Panther photos in my Dad's cruise book, the tip tanks did not have any numbers on them. Having said that, the thing to remember is, squadron CO's and CAG's had a great deal of local control over a/c markings and even BuAir was constantly coming out with new directives as to how an a/c was to be painted, so don't get too wrapped up in the "small stores". I have no doubt that someone could show you a picture of a Panther in Air Group 5, VF-52 markings with a/c numbers on the tip tank just as I could site pictures of same without them. It's silly to get wrapped up in that type of minutia. The bottom line is that she's a beautiful model and I can't wait to fly her!! 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Are you the actual author of the model shown here or do you just want to present a mod from a model that you purchased or freely acquired and then edited by yourself? I'm the author its not been purchased lol 1
=Katze= Posted November 1, 2023 Author Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) Here's a quick update: WIP for the cockpit model (Subject to change and using preliminary textures for blocking) Edited November 1, 2023 by =Katze= 6
Saguanay Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) That's cool. Is that for the VSN F9F? Sorry, saw the pit and didn't read back. Peejot could use that pit. Edited November 11, 2023 by Saguanay

No my mod isn't related to anything VSN is doing, their mod is the F9F-5 mine is F9F-2b Edited November 14, 2023 by =Katze= 1
Saguanay Posted November 14, 2023 Posted November 14, 2023 I would say that theirs is a F9F-2 as well. Not long enough and different vert tail. No fences on the wings. Wrong intake shape.
