Hi,

First of all, sorry for the late reply. We were in the middle of certain organisational changes lately, which took whole my attention.

Due to the above our priorities slightly changed and Meteor have been moved down in our "to do" list. So we now have more time to assemble even more reference for it, which is, actually, good.

Huge thanks to everybody, who already supplied us with refernce, particulary to Freycinet. Hope, the floor in the museum wasn't too dirty.

As for the Australian F.8, I think and hope, we already have a contact with them.

However, that doesn't mean, we don't need any more refs on that plane. Taking in account, what we already have, the main priority now is the cockpit.

Appart from the Meteor, we are also interested in walkarounds and detailed shots of the following planes:

Avro Anson Mk.I

Gloster Gladiator Mk.II

Bristol Beaufighter Mk.IF

Bf.108

Hello!

That's funny I would not have associated those planes with 'project Galba" ...So I gather you are subcontracting! But didn't we see a long time ago (2 years) 3D renderings of these planes? Does that mean their development was stopped all this time?

Copies of many Bf 108 Manuals you can get here:

http://www.luftfahrt-archiv-hafner.de/

But you will know this address I guess. All manuals in digital form on a CD are 50 Euros, look for "Messerschmitt Bf 108 B und D Kompendium".

G'day SaQSoN

There are some F.8 Cockpit walk-arounds here:

.....and some more BAF F.8 shots here:

There is also a T.7 about 2km from where I work that could be useful for landing gear and wing detail shots, if you still need that sort of info I can visit the museum which is something I have been meaning to do for a while anyway, they also have a DAP Beaufighter Mk.21 (A8-328) which could also be useful for some comon detail references. Just let me know.

Thanks for the links.

I guess, some photos of the Mk21 won't hurt. So, yes, we'd be glad, if you'll make and post or upload them somewhere.

As for what parts we may need - just a usual "suspects", as described in Meteor request: landing gear and wells, flaps, fillets, cockpits, some particulary curved surfaces, various small details, etc.
Some general views from different angles would be usefull too.

saqson why wont you post at 1C or UBI forum instead? I'm curious..

G'day SaQSoN

So my next question is how soon do you need the Mk.21 stuff?

ASAP

As many years experience tells me, SimHQ produces much better quality and faster responce, then any other similar place, I know.

That is why.

OK honest answer but with many years of experiences as well you are again satisfied with not much.

Best regards,

No problem Saqson, I am happy to help and pay a bit back for all my enjoyment with Il-2 etc. You can also see it as a down payment for my hopefully future enjoyment with BoB and other sims in the SoW series!

At the Brussels museum the have a French post-war produced version of the Bf.108: the Nord 1002 Pingouin. Would it be any help to have photos of that one you think? Maybe it is too different from the German original, I don't know...

Picture here:

As far, as I know, it has different engine and cockpit layout. So, I guess, we may wait for now, hoping that someone would be able to help with the original 108.

G'day SaQSoN

I doubt that I will be able to get access to the inside but I will ask and see what they say, in regards to ASAP..... well I will be unable to get there this weekend as my brother is having his anual pre-Christmas fly-in/bbq, but I will try and get to the museum the following weekend, I hope you can wait until then.

Spud

If you haven't done it already, I think you should cross-post this latest request regarding the other planes in the Il-2 forum.

Info on Meteor should be obtainable from here I would think as they have
a flying F.8

Well Spud, I don't you (or any one else) to get me wrong. When I write "ASAP", I don't expect you to run over there immidiately. To my knowlege, ASAP means As Soon, As Possible. So, please, take your time and do it when and if it will be possible.

A couple of old Anson pictures showing some detail:
