I think that is what Bush Sr flew in the Pacific.

I believe he flew the Avenger if I remember right.

Fantastic paint—you made it look like it was battle-hardened, and war weary. You can smell the oil and grease

Always like your work, esp of the lesser known aircraft and vehicles (eg Italian tanks)
This line from Wikipedia shows how the Brits viewed the "wind indicator"

Darth how much is free hand and how much do you air brush? Like 50/50?

Did they use those on carriers? Can't imagine trying to see well enough to grab the cable.

The only things I brush paint are little things like gauges on the instrument panel of aircraft, or the rubber on tank road wheels. Everything else I airbrush.

I believe they were used on carriers before the war. But by the start of the war all carrier based dive bomber squadrons had the Dauntless and the Vindicators had been relegated to land-based, mostly Marine, squadrons. Some were flown from Midway Island during the Battle of Midway. But after that, it was pulled from frontline duty.
