+Laton 4 Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) . . . 'I went down to engage him and found that he was a Hannover, a machine which has a biplane tail, and although I fired a lot at him at close range, it had no other effect than to make him dive away, which made me think that perhaps they were armoured. These machines are very deceptive, and pilots are apt to mistake them for Albatros scouts until they get to close range, when up pops the Hun gunner from inside his office' . . . Major James McCudden VC The gunner is a place holder until I get the final version from Geezer but I should have both the Hannover CL.II and CL.III out very soon.

+Geezer 3,569 Posted May 10, 2009 The gunner is a place holder until I get the final version from Geezer but I should have both the Hannover CL.II and CL.III out very soon. Beautiful - as usual. Working the gunner now, but tomorrow is Mother's Day here in the 'states, so I'll be visiting instead of texturing - should be able to finish the gunner sometime next week. Keep up the good work!

+Laton 4 Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) A popular choice :) This is the CL.II It lacks the larger, counter-balanced ailerons of the CL.III and has the early vertical tail supports. One reason this is a quicker release is that I'm going to use the stock SPAD cockpit for this model. There will be a bit of clipping on the rear combing of the pit but it fits pretty well. I need to fix a mapping glitch created on the outer wing created after I reshaped the ailerons. Bucky, just me working You can get the main components built fairly quickly, the fuselage is probably the slowest to make initially. For a lot of the components (wings, struts et) you build one side then mirror it. Edited May 10, 2009 by Laton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
