Great work and totally believable!

Thank you - more to come soon. I tried to stay as close to the F3D-3 design as possible, hence the A-3 wing donations. It's truly "family style", and the result looks VERY good. Just has some trouble with the final decals (which arrived yesterday, so I can make finishing touches), but it's close to completion.  ;D

Thanks a lot. Just doing finishing touches, like some Sparrows and final parts. Post about the F3D-3 should come soon.  :cheers:

Very pretty indeed!
And a clear Douglas family look, as you say.

I watched the video, too, and asked why they do not give proper source credit (to anything, BTW) and simply steal other people's material for commercial purposes. That's what actually p!sses me of.
As expected, I not only received no answer, my (public) question with URL link to the original picture was silently deleted within hours... Now an official copyright infringement inquiry is running at YouTube, probably ending in the deletion of the video. We'll see.

Thank you. But I agree that this one turned out nicely, even looking very much like the planned aircraft.  :lol:

However, I still wonder about the ignorance of the video makers: after all, the picture shows a fictional F3D-3, which is not referred to in the video, and on the carrier in the backgorudn there are F-4s, an RA-5C and even an A-6, so that I can just scratch my head about the "experts'" historical standards, which are (self-)claimed to be high...  :rolleyes:
