	Sword 1/48 FM-2 Wildcat
		I wanted to model a plane that flew off of my father's ship, the USS Steamer Bay CVE-87, a World War II Escort Carrier on which he was Catapult Officer.
		They incorrectly note that VC-93 flew from the USS Petrof Bay in June of 1945.
		I found a picture on their website of FM-2 #9 flown by Oliver Dennett, so that's the one I used (turned the set's #6 upside down!) I found several photos of their planes on the website that do not show a cloverleaf on the wing (as shown in Aeromaster's drawing) so I left it off.
