Hi Mike,Was just wondering, like the Me110 you and Ray worked on, could you possibly make the modding files (3dz) available, separately from your usual 1.28e full squadron downloads. I can't get 1.28e exe to work on my PC but I could still use the new moddings for my 1.28 exe game. Cheers mate David

Nice bird Congrats, Ray and Mike! Do I see right - the air intakes at the engine are 3-D?

Yeah, the #%&*$# wouldn't leave me alone until I added 3d intakes. Also, I just realized after viewing these pics that I need to add the antenna wires too. BTW, we're finally getting to the point where we have all 30 original planes in hi-res. Only took, what, 13 years? I think the 410 and the B26 are all that's left of the original lo-res models. The 410 is in the workshop in a partially finished state and the B26 has been broken up into individual files but no mapping has been done. Once I get a load of finished projects uploaded to Talley-ho I'll take a look at them.
Heck, even paranoids have enemies.

Re: "Yeah, the #%&*$# wouldn't leave me alone until I added 3d intakes." Damn Yankee.... Ray, the 410 and nacelle problems, I've still got it as a work in progress in my paint files. Fran, the intakes are coming nicely and the exhaust cover is painted. On yes, Ray did a nice job didn't he?

Hi Ray and Mike,
Worth the wait - looks good! As ever one minor point - the drop tank are completely the wrong shape.
Pete the pain.

Hi Guys,
No problem but the Mossie is the first plane I have come across with tailor made "conformal" tanks if you exclude the wierd belly tanks on the Me110 and Spitfire. Bit like the slipper tanks that were on the Buccaneer and the "FAST" packs on the Strike Eagle. Probably gave a lot less drag I guess.
Cheers,
Pete

Hi Guys,
Sounds good to me. As I recall the stock Mossie is a B Mk IV which would normally have operated in daylight without fighter cover early on due to its speed advantage, but then switched to night bombing together with the later bomber versions once the Fw 190 appeared making it rather more vulnerable, so replacing that with the FB Mk VI opens up a lot of options. Of course with the much improved ground targets now available on EAW including realistic ships, the the Coastal Command variants are perhaps tempting with their different overwing roundels with the thin white ring and red codes, not to mention the small number of so called "Tse Tse" FB Mk XVIII with the 6 pounder 57mm Molins gun, which might appeal to Ray, as might the dedicated night fighter versions.

Nice work Ray and Mike on the model and skins. Sorry to say guys, but the Mossie has always disappointed me in EAW, not from the model point of view, but the way is behaves in the game. It never uses it's speed advantage, and tend to be sitting ducks, which they never where.

good job with this long awaited hr version blokes... i'm not normally a riveter, however a couple of things are noticeable.... underside paint job usually extended up to the wing roots level, nose tip to tail bulge... in pic 3 the prop spinners appear undersized and not flushing with the engine cowls...as in pic 1.. can this be fixed? i'm sure if this were a german plane you'd have heard from fran by now....
