A North American FJ-1 Fury as it may have looked when designated S/144 of the VF-51 US Navy squadron.

#WorldOfWarplanes

Prototype VB895 of the Supermarine Seafang Type 32, intended for the Royal Navy and developed from the Spiteful, the Spitfire's intended replacement. Both were cancelled in favour of new jet-powered aircraft. This completes my "Fleet Air Arm" aircraft in the game.

#WorldOfWarplanes

The Supermarine Attacker, depicted as a machine of the Fleet Air Arm's 1831 Naval Air Squadron. This has a surprisingly awkward model in the game.

My fourth Sea Hawk is a representation of a plane belonging to No. 300 Indian Naval Air Squadron. India operated this first generation jet until 1984, remarkably.

The Hawker Sea Hawk was a successful export plane. Here's a Marinefliegerkommando (German Naval Air Arm) machine of the 2nd squadron, circa 1959.

As I won't be posting Wordle any longer, I shall find a new topic.

This is a Hawker Sea Hawk of the 802nd Naval Air Squadron, Fleet Air Arm, Royal Navy during the Suez crisis. The serials under the wings may have been painted over.

World of Warplanes crashes every time. That's one buggy game.

I really enjoy playing #WorldOfWarships, so thought I'd try my hand at #WorldOfWarplanes. Got all excited, but... Crashes every time I press 'Battle'. Tried all the fixes, the only one that worked was the Uninstall button. Knock a few more bugs out of it #Wargaming.net, and maybe I'll try again.

A family of paint schemes for the Lockheed F-94D Starfire (by definition, fantasy schemes, as the plane was never built, though the USAF ones are historically based).

This is a not quite generic paint scheme of the Republic Of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) for a Sabre during a huge airborne exercise, 'Focus Retina', in 1969.

Nominally complete, I intend to replace the tail emblem with a new SVG file I'm going to learn how to create.

In the mid-50s, HM government would rather you didn't notice the RAF was forced to procure and fly Canadair Sabre F.4s whilst waiting for the delayed Hunter, Swift and Javelin.

This could be one from no. 3 Squadron in Germany, 1954.

Bespoke paint scheme for the Spitfire IX in World Of Warplanes.

An RAF Procurement Executive 'high conspicuity' paint scheme for the Hawker Hunter in World Of Warplanes.

A paint scheme for a Hawker Hunter of the 140th Squadron, Singapore Air Defence Command, circa 1973, in World Of Warplanes.

#WorldOfWarplanes

High gloss, low weather versions of the two Hawker Hunter paint schemes.

I've used masking on the detail file to reduce the weathering without affecting items like the landing gear. Quite a trick!

Now that the Lancaster is on the press account, I've been able to tweak and (I think) finish its Dambusters-themed paint scheme.

The bespoke P-80A camouflage is complete in broad form. Two areas will need major tweaking owing to the limitations of the plane's model. Nonetheless, I think it looks good.

A P-80B/F-80 of the 94th fighter squadron circa late 1948, perhaps.

#WorldOfWarplanes has an Avro Lancaster B MK.III coming into the game later this year. I've found a way to marry a modified camouflage file for it with a Wavefront object model available from a third party.

Something approaching a 'Dambusters' paint scheme...
