I'll have to look at the V156. Would be interesting to have a French plane fly off the carrier.

The Amiot is in the mix, also the Vengeance. Heck about the only odd ball you asked me to make for Dunkirk that DIDN'T get in the mix is the Koolhoven 58.

For the record, all of the bi-planes have R/S problems. Some minor, some pretty bad. I'm including them as is just to get the package out.

I don't care what anyone says, bi-planes do not lend themselves to 3dz modeling. Those, along with the high wing flying boats, are the most challenging projects. Most of the problems have to do with the wing that crosses over the fuselage. It seems to me that the builders gave up after a while and just issued the imperfect models.

However, I was able to defeat the R/S monster using my "empty F" technique and I've converted the Cr32 and Cr 42. As I find time I'll do the same for the other models because they are some of the nicest, accurately detailed models I've seen.

If memory seves the V156 I used in Dunkirk was a slightly amended version of Captain Kirk's Devastator.

Agree absoloutely about biplanes. Took a month of Sundays with the techniques we had then to get the Swordfish looking useable. Col G would probabaly faint at all the bodges smile

Glad those other planes are getting a use.

To get myself back into salts I'm messing about with Jelly's new 128C-2016, and seeing if I make AITW and Dunkirk work there. Will try retrofitting with those new planes you did for me.

Moggy,

If you do decide to use the French planes make sure you take the ones out of these new planesets as there are numerous upgrades and fixes to the ones I made for you a few years ago.

For the 1.28 series I guess you'd have to convert them back to slot specific file names. Would MogProg recognize the 1.4 PPlane***.3dz file naming standard?
