Lucky for me I found a few elements which I can bodge safely, so I managed to add the pilot to the cockpit.


All that's left to do is a bit of mapping and the landing gear, to finish, then it will be off to the paint shop.

First test flight in game.


I have a few issues to fix, but it's looking good.

Lovely work Col,

thanks for all the time and effort


cheers,

I'm still busy getting the mapping finished. All the little bits take up the most time, like the pilots head.



I've also been detailing the base skin, on which the camo will be painted over, so it's important to get all the joins seamless.

I like your "progress posts", Col.

keep on with your excellent work

Model is finished, now it's a bit of mapping and then off to the paint shed.



Now, do we have any Squadrons for it?

Very nice peice of work Col.



In Iraq I have 94 Sqn (camo), the Habbaniya Fighter Flight (white) and the Iraqi AF version (also white). Profiles available.

Moggy DCM

Not much to finish off now.

Looking really nice.

Looking most impressive, Col -
a new standard for EAW biplanes, I´d dare to say

The Beta version is now at the paint shop.

Can't wait to see it in new colours.

Great work!!

Now you just need to convert the also nice, but glide-faulty, Bi-planes from Jan to the same level.

While the Gladiator is probably the most important WWII Biplane next to the Swordfish.

Hi Mike.

I hope you have the Beta I sent you?

I've just about finished the Sea Gladiator [B.3dz] tail with working arrester hook. The one you have will be for the standard Mk II.

I've got to make a 3 prop version [P.3dz], add the exhaust pipes to the [C.3dz}, and add the steps to the F.3dz, and the external gun-sight. Tail wheel is done {A.3dz].

Apart from those bits, is there any thing else that needs doing?

Hi Ralf.

Thanks for that. A bit of back patting never does any harm.

Guys.

I'd like to convert a few others, but then I'd like Ray, FlyRight, or anyone else for that matter, to take the models and convert them into the different sub models.

If I did one other major WWI designs, perhaps they could easily be tweaked into the other versions of the same type?

It's taken me a month to unpick the Gladiator, and turn it into a good model. The good thing about these updates is I don't need to build all the other support files, just rebuild the main model, which is much easier.

So, now the question is, which is the next worst model that needs fixing?

Any suggestions? No lists please, just one at a time!

Swordfish??

Right now I'm trying to finish the landing gear on the Hampton after adding the three position flaps to the P-40, to say nothing of all the upgrades and fixes I needed to do to get the new DAW plane set ready.

I have to switch hats shortly to start editing the target set for DAW and I'm not much of a bi-plane fan so I think I'll bow out of this particular project.

Just an update,
