Wondering If someone would be interested in paiting this small plane. Plane is ready just awaiting paint works to be released. Model by AngelP.

Wheels ok......gears nrly done....wingfold isnt 100% but too much work to make it 100% atm its about 80% lots done a bit to do.. stabs and elevators...cockpit frame and c`pit itself (exteriormodel btw not VC) clone wing etc and refit mapping...tail wheel etc...

Viking Spitfire

Fuselage , cowling ,tail,stabilizers all mapped on two textures (top on one bottom on other,or sides...) now one texture each side...(top and bottom left on same texture etc) fuselage was on two maps now on its own.and was rather bad,had to remove a lot of polys and redo some....and then realign mapping etc.... tail was blocky so added few polys to make better... cowling was same as fuselage,now its one mesh but mapped on same tax as fuse etc... engines detail was poor so added better detailed mesh...props are temp .. got worst part done just about...

I lack time to complete, I will owe an FM and impact point, I don't know much about flight model config.

LOL. If western pilots do such stunts then it is a sign of outstanding skill. If the russians do the same it is unprofessional behavior. I would like to see how american press is crying if russian bombers would fly close to Florida.

That got me thinking .. and I found the problem .. I can't believe I had the polygons flipped!!!! Works like a charm now .. phew!! A big thankyou to you all!!!!

in any case, some very nice footage of the Flankers

Come on, this was usual behavior during cold war. No need to worry about. I remember how it was to look in a barrel of an american M-1 tank. Mock attacks from west were standard in the bad old time. No worry about. Its the behavior of young man with balls in size of a melon. They do such things. They have done it during my military time. They have done it during my fathers military time and they will do it in the next decades too. Boys!!! Simply Boys!!!

Havent touched wheels etc yet... guns are all seperate meshes...Ive tried to make all meshes unique where poss... heres part of the descriptions in the a\c config for fs9 didnt include pic of the madagasgar 881sqd as its above...pics may not be in order 5 skins in total...not sure if theres a template...will contact the guy and ask... Martlet IV description=This aircraft is from 888 Squadron Fleet Air Arm in November 1942, when aircraft from this squadron were based on H.M.S. Formidable during the Operation Torch landings. It is believed that Lt. Denis Jeram was flying this aircraft when he claimed his 5th victory on 6th November 1942. Martlet II description=This repaint represents a Martlet Mk. II, AJ132, B-A. of 881 Squadron aboard the HMS Illustrious in the Indian Ocean March 1942. The Squadron supported the landings on Madagascar and the capture of Diego Suarez in May 1942. They stayed on the island for 2 months afterward. 881 Sqn returned to the UK in early 1943. Part of the squadron was attached to Furious 6-9 July 1943 for invasion simulation on Norway. Re-equipped with Wildcat Vs in Aug '43 and then embarked on Pursuer. Took part in the Tirpitz attack in April 1944 before re-equipment with Wildcat VIs. Went to Med aboard Pursuer and participated in Operation 'Dragoon' and then operations in the Aegean Sea. Returned to operations off Norway switching between Pursuer, Trumpeter and Premier. Rejoined Pursuer in Capetown during March 1945 and was working up on Hellcat IIs in preparation to joining BPF when the war ended description=F4F-4 Wildcat Aircraft "8", VMO-155, USMC, USS "Nassau" (CVE16) Battle of Attu, May 1943 description=Martlet Mk.IV, FN148, "9C.0" of No.893 Naval Air Squadron, Qrendi, Malta, 1943. description= F4F Wildcat USS Ranger OCT 43. a-Aircraft flying from USS Ranger during Operation Leader, Norway OCT 43

VMA-133 Dragons in action!

Beech Nuts....by the Mentor-ist...lolz.....nrly done this is the T-34A mentor B and C also but skins not ready...few tweaks and rdy to go in few days. A=2skins,B=4 and C =2.

Smokin' Hot

Semper Fi!!!!

https://www.foxnews.com/world/us-b-52-buzzing-by-two-russian-jets-was-unsafe-unprofessional-air-force-says Holy cow!

yeah just made one up and works fine...its always summat simple thats wrong

you just have to map it to the zero no other number

The waving is part of the standard nonverbal communication between planes during intercept missions in peacetime. Its a friendly gesture. Aggressive gesture would be flying direct in front of the intercepted plane while the wingman would fly direct behind the intercepted plane.

Agreed. It even waved goodbye before leaving.

Not usually a fan of WWII in Thirdwire but I'll definitely be grabbing that Marltet when its done - one of my dad's uncles flew them

A lot of the time they are friendly and chat off official channels and say hello to fellow pilots...ignoring Ivan the Terrible...back at base...doubt the Russian Pilots want War either...unlike the commisars back in ole Russkie land.

not unless someone else makes one....or adapts the ones stary made....pack of ww2 style pits he made. I`ll check them out for one thats suitable...as I used one for the T34 Mentor...

I know you're gonna fix the wheels!! . Russ, you REALLY are a machine!!! Are there other skins for this model, and will they be usable (I'm noting the FAA Martlet we're seeing now) Also, if possible, can I request the outboard gun barrels be seperate meshes, so the 'remove mesh trick' can be used to create the -3 Wildcat (4 guns)

First try to make a german fighter airfield.

Good news...

I agree,is why chose the skin to make and test..... got SBD in works m8 will check if F4F is any good,IIRC there is one in the freeware packs. ignore missaligned stuff....I set all parts with the editor to right position before importing to max...

still to come: EC-121D (USAF) WV-2/EC-121K (USN) Soon!!

Assemble!

Dem damn Doritos!

Found a free file on the internet for the Spitfire Mk. XVIe buble top if anyone wants a crack at it.

in the past days i was searching for pictures or drawings of a Double Ejector Rack also named Twin Store Carriage that was used on the Harrier GR1 and AV-8A and on the Alpha Jet , a similar model was used on the F-104G ( some small differences ) , on my search i found a Belgium Air Force Alpha Jet displayed with the Double Ejector Rack and German made LAU-51A rocket launchers , so i finaly can finish my LAU-51A launchers and i have some good pictures of that Double Ejector Rack , by the way does anybody know the exact name of that rack ??? or maybe the manufacturer i have now 2 versions of the LAU-51A a white one for the USAF and NATO and the green / silver one for the German Air Force , i may make a 3rd one in olive green for the USAF and Nato

My holiday time is over. Now i will make new airfields for Battle of Britain 2 terrain. RAF Fowlmere, a satellite airfield of RAF Duxford.

Plenty of hustle and bustle at RAF Canopic...

Arriving today at Air Force Station Ambala, India - No. 17 Sqdn "Golden Arrows".

Airfield of the Bristol Aircraft Company, home of the Beaufighter and the Blenheim bomber, also known as RAF Filton.

You will need 10km airstrip for this load ;-)))

In 1983 the USMC barracks in Beirut were suicide bombed causing 241 american deads, 58 french and 6 civilians, the USN reacted bombing Syrian and Hezbollah targets, we join a USN A-7E Corsair squadron on one of those raids in September 1983... Recent talks about Akrotiri AB and the Escort jammed prompted me to design and fly this one, It will be a semi historical mission, created on the fly in the editor, I know the Hornet was not on the carriers back in 1983, but I really like the Saratoga, also I don't used the proper squadrons or skins, but it was historical enough for me, as I tried to use proper planes and weapons, and was damn fun, so wanted to share with you guys, enjoy! Launching The American fleet Our escort Jammers Lebanon coast on my radar Our escort turning to engage FOX 3! The enemies Their happy end Spamming Phoenixes And R-23, unfortunately for him, he had to dodge the Tomcat wingman Sparrow coming his way so the R23 lost guidance. Getting ready to bomb Bombing from several directions at same time, confused the AAA Target destroyed Syrian reacted too late and missile never was a real threat (apart from the Sa-3, got a launch from a nearby Sa-6 too that properly tracked my wingman, as the jammer already departed, but we got out of range) Back to the boat for some late breakfast or early lunch! Was a fun mission, SF2 can still provide fun in a historical way!

I reworked RAF Colerne, because i got better air footage from WW2. I removed some barrack buildings which were built in the 1950th and added two hangars, some shelters and made the airfield bigger.
