Grumman XF5F-1 Skyrocket Pre War Paint Scheme

Auto Credit Based on Mrwhiskers85's Grumman XF5F Skyrocket

The original model was done by Mrwhiskers85. I embellished and revamped the design by giving it more proportionally correct dimensions as compared to the real thing, (shortened the wingspan, shortened the vertical stabilizers, set the engines closer together, etc.) gave it drop tanks, (drop outer tanks with 1, drop center tank with 2) and placed four guns in the nose. I also gave it faux-split flaps (they will create drag but no lift) and different landing gear. Painted in the pre war "Yellow Wings" scheme once used by the US Navy.
