Here we go with the second AAAF repaint giveaway.
I enjoy doing repaints, and I like seeing other gamers doing flights and one-offs to add variety to this game.
With a hat-tip to Weedsrock2, I am offering up this repainted AAAF mini for the membership. This is a totally free mini, shipped to you with a standard flight stand. I believe the existing Brewster stat card would be sufficient for this little beauty.
This draw is open to everyone on the Forum as of today's date (Saturday, June 24, 2023) and the time that this was posted. Bartok, the winner of the first AAAF giveaway is not eligible for entry, but it is open to everyone else.
The aircraft is based on various online sources for a Brewster F2A-2 of the US Navy based on the USS Lexington as of Spring 1941.
This paint scheme comes from the time when the US was watching the developments in Europe and Africa, and wasn't quite ready to switch over to battle-worthy camouflage. And as far as that goes, the US had an overly optimistic view of how well their aircraft would do in combat.
This aircraft is "purdy" but maybe not the best option to put up against the more modern fighter aircraft. I think the saying about lipstick and pigs comes to mind.
So, just post the following quote to this thread: "You can't put lipstick on a pig." Do so before Monday, July 31 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time.
I will compile the list in order of posting, and then roll for the winner on Wednesday, Aug. 2, around 9 p.m. Eastern Time.
If the prize is not claimed within two weeks of the drawing I will roll the die again from the same list of participants.
Here are some photos.
