Spitfire

[+bobrock 15]

Well, I guess you all know the plane I'm talking about, so I'll just show the wip so far. Still a few things to polish in the ini, but it's almost ready to be textured

Very nice looking... looks like a Vb without the cannon barrels.

 

One thing you can always say about the Spitfire apart from the desert version with Volkes filter... she always looks pretty...

great work bobrock thanks a lot for this plane

[+Kulbit80 1,399]

That is the flaps indicator... too far out for the undercarriage...

[+bobrock 15]

Yes there's an undercarriage indicator just in front of the wheel bulges, from my sources it was discontinued from 1944 on Mk Vs and above. And above the flaps the push rod opens that little panel.

 

@kevin: SF2? I haven't decided yet, I'm testing it in my WOE Frankenstein install, right now. Probably yes

 

@XRAY: I really don't know, this project will take some time to complete. After that... all is possible ;)

[Wrench 9,477]

...I"m just thinking of a new home for all those decals we've done for the other Spits... uuuummmmmm!

Damn Beppe....

Your work is getting better and better!

Looking fantastic!

[Derk 265]

Fantastic... We've got a MK IX flying over here as part of the Dutch Historic Flight and it's a beauty , with a great and well documented history too and usually flown by a retired general at airshows. My brother supplied an oil pressure meter for it.

Looking forward to this one !!

 

Hou doe,

An update with the project so far: MkI model is almost finished, but I have to rework a few things I don't quite like; the template is slowly coming along, I "only" have to add a gazillion rivets and the weathering.

 

[Heck 496]

A beautiful model. Will it be released in both an A and a B scheme? Or are you doing specific skins? If you are, could you release the template so we could make some blank, no marking skins? The reason I ask is I have an old decal scheme that I use for squadron codes, individual aircraft numbers and serial numbers on the old Spit 1 from the A Team, and I'd like to transfer that to your model. If you feel you can't, I understand. It is a fantastic model. Thank you for bringing it to the community.

[Spinners 15,968]

Looking good bobrock! Good luck with this project.

[+bobrock 15]

Yes Heck, both A and B schemes will be included within the template.

Since there are already a lot of decals ready, I'm probably going to release it only with a single squadron skinset

[Heck 496]

It is gorgeous. A beautiful model of one of the most beautiful aircraft of all time. Thank you for all the hard work you've put into it. Waiting patiently for release.

[+Soulfreak 6,351]

Hmmm.... looking pretty nice Beppe!!!!

[+bobrock 15]

So, the template for MkI and II is done. Now I'm on the FM, then the first batch can be shipped to the beta testers for their... well, testing lol

I think I'm going to use TW Mk IX FM as a base to implement the data.ini, let me know if you have any other ideas

 

[dsawan 613]

Looks nice. is this gonna be wokable with SF2 series?

[+Major Lee 18]

How's this coming along? Any plans for other versions? Mk XII and XIV would also be very useful...

[the test pilot 5]

well, i think also a Seafire could be worth the effort. Let's give bobrock his 2 weeks, then we'll see...

[+bobrock 15]

Two weeks, be sure™

The Merlins line-up is growing, and a couple of Griffons are already planned. The project has been pushed behind by some other stuff going on, but it's alive and I hope to put a beta in the hands of some tester any time soon.

VIII, XII, XIV?
