Lt. Stanley "Swede" Vejtasa's F4F-4 Wildcat

[Tobarghe]

This is my second profile. I use Adobe CS, Wacom Graphire tablet and done on a Mac with OSX. I'm basing this profile a partial photo and another artists rendering(The latter always being a dangerous practice!) I did not weather this one as I had said I would. Will get to weathering some other time.
Thank you,

Great stuff Ed, the best profile of his crate Ive ever seen..... Im thinking the 9 is slightly altered from its original state tho...

I am still trying to get a hold of Stan, he's still outta town.... Im sure he would love this profile....

Beautiful! I hope to build Stan's F-4 and Dauntless soon and didn't he fly a F4U Corsair too at some point, or do I remember wrong?

F4U as a test pilot I guess. Dan could confirm that...

 

[Lucky13]

Ok, thanks seesul. I thought that he flew them in combat. Did he fly the F6 Hellcat?
