Great list Ed. Looking forward to whatever you bring us.

 

btw Never heard of the Q1W1 Lorna and had to look it up. Looks a lot like a Ju-88 at first glance.

Excelent a Sunderland

I4s-79B... it means will be a Romanian JRS-79B?

Ask Wrench, I'm sure he's done something with floatplanes, so this would be similar I guess. Maybe invisible wheels is the solution?

[Wrench 9,835]

on Pasko's Rex, he put retracting wheels in the center float (looks kinda cool!)

 

for the Rufe, capun used a 'fake' tire (ie: a vitrual wheel hidden at the bottom of the float)

 

you can always try the FE style labeling

 

IsLandingSkid=TRUE

 

or something like that. can't remember the exact statement

Wow looking very good

[+Major Lee 18]

Very nice Sunderland! You do very well with large aircraft. I would really love to see your B17G for WWII Europe...

"CEM"??? Crusty Egghead Modders?

"CEM"??? Crusty Egghead Modders?

what plane is this ,

 

Short Sunderland flying boat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Sunderland

 

Looks great Veltro.

[+LloydNB 212]

Some nice photos of the inside and outside of New Zealand's only surviving Sunderland here - http://www.kiwiaircraftimages.com/sundland.html.

 

I'd prefer it without the wheels.

[+LloydNB 212]

Invisible gear would be fine.

 

How are you going to model the bomb-racks? It would be nice if it was animated so that opening the bomb-bay doors saw the side hatches open and the racks extended.

 

[Wrench 9,835]

The beaching gear???

Hm....On Pasko's Rex, they retract into the center float. On the Rufe, iirc, it's LandingSkid=TRUE or something like that

 

I'm torn between which .... have the beaching gears 'retract' would cool, but having invisible gear would be better, methinks.

 

(had a shop customer some years back when I was running the Smog station, a Kiwi, who's father worked on Sunderlands. There also used to be on in Oakland, CA, at the museam there. Was used in Raiders fo the Lost Ark for the PanAm clipper scene)

 

So THAT's how the bomb racks to work! Never researched the Sunderland's much ... more of a PBY guy. I know PBM Mariners had the bays at the aft end of the nacelles.
