Excellent recolour AND build Kacper. And you're so right- Don has the knack of bringing our models to life and I know I speak for everyone in expressing our eternal gratitude of the good fortune of having a forum member like him.

Christmas 1941 with VF-6

Readers of this thread with an interest in early Pacific War U.S. Navy air operations may be interested to know that after painting the rudder stripes on their F4F-3 and F4F-3A aircraft in line with the 21 December 1941 Commander Aircraft Battle Force guidance, Fighting Squadron Six aboard USS Enterprise published a Christmas card with the inscription, "pepermint candy sticks may be viewed on the tails of planes." [Yes. They misspelled "peppermint."]

Quoted in John B. Lundstrom, The First Team: Pacific Naval Air Combat from Pearl Harbor to Midway, Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 1984, p. 46.
