Thank you gentlemen. This project has been a labor of love for me. First thing I am going to do when I finish it, is find some suitable desert scenery somewhere (if anyone knows of one) and see how well it blends in - :)

Hi Wellis.
I just remembered If you have Lionhearts Operation Valkerie pack there are a number of Axis bases both air and Army Panzer units for you too strafe in North Afrika.
Also some Uboat bases too bomb. I'm going too dig out my copy and install it in anticipation of your cammo scheme.

For a couple of U.S. Pacific bases there is the old Donationware corsair pack, they may be fighter bases but I have flown C47's from them in the past.

I got my eyes crossed when writing general operational stuff in the installation and read me docs.


Here's what it should have read:


Takeoff: 50% flaps are required for heavily loaded takeoff. Set elevator trim to 5 degrees up; otherwise no flaps required for normal loads with appropriate take off distance.
Takeoff power: 52"/2600 RPMs
Climbout: 47" Map, 2400 RPMs
Normal Cruise: 34.5" Map, 2100 RPMs (varies with altitude)
Econo-Cruise: 30" Map, 1700 RPMs

Thank you sir for the information--I will check them out..! I'll also check the Damascus flight out. The screen shots were taken in the higher elevations of Algeria, so they are greener than I anticipated. :)
 
When you don't have the Valkerie scenery there is a "light" alternative. In our library you can can find Robert Sanderson's Hurricane IID. The model is already worth the download, as its great model, is designed to be flown "by the book" and has quite some very neat features.

However the model comes with a (very) small RAF forward base and a some German tanks for target practice (below some images)

Cheers,
Huub

Great recommendation, Huub. I had forgotten about that one. Also, thanks for your outstanding work on the paints. This A-20 is on its way to becoming a classic because of all the great work you guys have done.
 
I have been playing with this one today, early WIP.

'ridin' high'

Thank you for another great skin for this great model. Now that I am looking up facts and background on this a/c, it comes clear what a key part it played world-wide in the last war. Certainly an in-sung hero.

Lovely effects on this skin Huub.

Thanks for the nice comments guys! I have started the next one.... as with skins all so far, first check whether we can draw the nose art.......

Any ideas?

No doubt another "beauty" to add to the collection. I don't know which one this is, though it is familiar.
