Our projects (Sophocles-Alfa2)

Hello all, I wanted to start this thread to keep you all abreast of what @Alfa2 and I are working on .. 

Since we're currently working on Royal Hellenic Air Force Spitfires .. here's some preview shots of the MkV both B and C, elliptical and Clipped wing variants ..

There are still more to come in the guise of the NoAF F-5a and the all new Viper models ..

Hi sophocles

Do you have any drop tanks for your Spitfires or thoughts on adding them as part of the model?

Cheers

Dear friend, we're trying to be historicaly accurate as much as possible. The RHAF Spifires never carried external fuel tanks and this is the reason of their omission.

If I may be so bold to suggest, adding the drop tank capability, for WW2 perverts like me, that might want to backdate their usage for operations in the various WW2 theatres. For RHAF usage, it's easily left out of the loadout ini, thereby removing it from view. If built in, that is. Otherwise, I'd like to suggest just having the pylon available to use the existing Spit drop tanks.

For the Trops, Volks only or both Volks and Abukir filters? Can't quite tell from the pictures

thanks!

Thanks for the feedback Kevin, we'll certainly consider it.

Vokes so far .. I really hate the Aboukir filter it is superlatively ugly!!!

 

We do have the standard non-tropical carb inlet versions though ..
