Martlet Mk. III by Captain Kurt
This is a new model of the GM Martlet Mk. III for CFS 2.
These Mark IIIs were 30 ex-Greek Martlets that the FAA acquired when Greece fell. They originally kept their BuAer Nos. 3875 to 3904. These were the first 30 F4F-3A Wildcats/Martlets built. They were powered with a Pratt and Whitney R-1830-90 Twin Wasp, which had a single stage two-speed supercharger. The wings were fixed, with 4 wing guns and 430 rounds per gun.
The textures supplied follow the history of the Fleet Air Arm's Martlet III unit, 805 squadron:
"K" 3875 flown by Kiwi Sub Lt Don Nairn, 805 sqn FAA, in North Africa, circa August 1941.
"K" AX733 Now carrying a UK Air Ministry serial number, this Martlet was flown by flown by Sub Lt W M Walsh to shoot down a Fiat G.50, 28th September 1941
"D" AX744 By late 1941, 805 sqn was operating from landing grounds further inland. B/W photo's suggest it's possible some aircraft were repainted with Middle Stone upper surfaces.
"N" AX841 In March 1942 805's hard-worked Martlets were overhauled & the role changed to mainly coastal convoy escort & air cover. During overhaul they were repainted in Temperate Sea Scheme, more suited to this maritime mission.
