Another shot of the sight installation.

From the album Boeing 281

Found a really cheesy Chinese video about aerial combat over China circa 1937-1941. It makes a John Wayne movie seem tastefully restrained, but - for the most part - has first rate aircraft mockups and computer animations. Lots of fun over a couple of beers.

I don't take credit for the Bf109B - guess I should have made that clearer. It is an outstanding model by Monty CZ, found in the SF downloads.

Took a break from mapping, and resumed work on a series of 1930s pilots. Shots below show test drive of Luftwaffe pilot with oxy mask - there will also be one without oxy mask.

Making good progress on the Boeing 281, the export version of the P-26 used by the Chinese Air Force.

While talking to an old buddy in California, he brought up the "Battle Of Palmdale" and mentioned exploring the desert crash site of the drone Hellcat in question - he found red-painted skin fragments of the aircraft. A little entertaining reading about 1950s aircraft technology and tactics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Palmdale

No, at that time I was working on the B-2 project.

Yeah, I could probably work in a WW1 version of the "evil" pilot. I have a Japanese version of the Hucks starter on a Japanese army Isuzu chassis that was released several years ago: http://combatace.com/files/file/14771-1930s-ground-and-terrain-objects/ My current focus on 1937 Shanghai-Nanjing is driving my model activity right now, and - aircraft-wise - it was a Japanese navy show. Japanese army aviation operated further north. Not saying "no," just saying "maybe later." Mapping progress shot below. Still have to map two more Japanese fighters: Nakajima A2N and Mitsubishi A5M.

LOL! As I said before, I'm trying to get many of my old models mapped before the snow falls. I'll spend the winter making skins, and start asking for help with the files come Spring. Volunteers are welcome.

More progress shots as I tinker with the skins and position objects.
