Mo' Betta! The larger pilot puts this baby into proper perspective.
Nice work. Hope your wife gets freed from the clutches of the Polish Gestapo. At the moment I'm trying to get her free from the Bloody French Starzy! If she was in Poland it would be easies to fix things, but if she goes to Poland we don't have the cash to get here home. Still you've not spotted the new addition to the model.

Thanks for the tester Gibbo... Have run the SE5 and notice it is smaller in scale than Tuma's models.. Here's a pic comparison taken in the same game, and at the same camera distance - FULL with the captures all at 66.7%. Some modifications if possible m8.. 1) The prop size needs to be bigger... 2) The undercarriage struts need thickening up with the main side ones flared ...and can the wheels be more rounded? 3) Can you provide a 3D pilot, your pilot disappears in front and rear views. ade

Hi,
the pilot seat of the SEA5 should get moved forward. The cowling is by far to long.
Otherwise its an impressive work.
Greetings,
Knegel
If you think `thats close enough´, go closer, until the plane fill up the windscreen, then a short burst is enough!

Hi FT,
By increasing the size of the model you will get more nodes to model the 3DZ. With more nodes the model can become more realistic as a single node movement sometimes can have a devastating impact on it. A trick I use is to create a model as small as possible and tweak it after it's been resized. Since there's more space between nodes after resizing the model will usually look better. Obviously this may also have an impact on the model's R/S and normals. I think the wings can use some additional work, possibly by deviding several elements and make better use of the added spaces between nodes. Now don't take this as negative input, just take your time to work on it and it'll get there. Things just don't work out immediately with the way models have to be created. Just be glad you weren't here when we didn't have Paolo's, Gurney's, Mr. J's and Will Baldwin's tools yet, eeeeeeeeeek

Hi Flyning Tiger! Col. Gibbon s SE5a Model are in correct sizes. My model are on purpose bigger - then they may have more details, and better look. In a given gauge that isn't no big problem (In my opinion) - must be but all models made in same gauge. I will let it up to you, if make smaller my models, or enlarge Col. Gibbon s Models. Jan

Yep, I still look in at times. ...... Otherwise its an impressive work.....
I don't think people actually realise what a massive job that SEA5 actually is. If one looks at the top wing, the battle to get it RS compliant with the rest of the aircraft would have been a huge task, no matter what tools were used. All I can say is Congratulations John, the RS engineering behind that Model is something you should be proud of. To do what you have, I suspect would have used up virtually every free node or very close to it.

Gibbo, Understand now re the scale variation m8, does the prop size, undercarriage and pilot adjustments present many probs? Not sure about Ralf's comment re nose length and cockpit. It looks OK when scaled up against a side profile, but that's not too accurate... Yep fully agree Sydo this long awaited model's a work of art and has had the hard yards put into it by Gibbo and Deano. Thanks Jan for clearing up the scale difference for me.. ade

Ah well, there you go, if Jan's models are bigger to get more detail in, and I knew that before I started I could have followed his scale.
To resize the model, would at this point mean going back, and redoing the RS and Normals, which I don't really want to do at this late stage.
Hi Ade.
The thicker landing strut and bigger prop are easy, and I've already made the pilot a bit bigger.
Hi Sydbod.
Glad to see your hanging around. Yes, the RS was a pig to get right, but I've learned a lot from this model. Jointing 3dz's is an art in it's self, which you will see if the model is damaged! Big elements will appear!! These are the jointing hard point elements, which I will delete just before final release, just as the original models have all those missing elements.
