It is the good plane! Simply a little bit of constructive criticism.)) It is a pity, that our desires not always coincide with our opportunities.
-
Not bad, Stephen1918! Only nacelle should be, it seems, hardly to more convex in a forward part. The pilot with gunner is a little bit larger, than it would be desirable. By him is "close" in a cockpit. And in rest - it is good. The qualitative skins and are necessary, then it will be absolutely good.

Industrial Objects
Crawford commented on Geezer's file in First Eagles - WWI and Early Years - Object Mods
Huge thanks, Geezer! Really magnificent work! -
Is sad, but... not a trouble! Ultimately, the skis was used seldom enough. Let's close a theme. Yes, here you are completely right also I agree with you that the development of new models is more important and more necessary!

... and some more photos of russian "swans". The arrangement insignia on a wing is well visible. It is standard russian roundels with the large white field in middle. Besides the small emblems on rudders of height are visible. http://wio.ru/ww1a/lebed.htm P.S. It is a lot of photos of planes of manufacture of a Lebedev's factory with decals at the insignias centre, and it meets not only on a tail emblem and on fuselage. Such practice of drawing of a firm emblem of a factory on marks of a national belonging is not unique, for an example I can result Elsass firm "Aviatik", it had practice of accommodation of the logo at the centre of a tail cross.

By the way, time we have started talking about a skis... Not only the Russian aeroplans equipped with winter by a skis! For example - austrian Hansa-Brandenburg C.I. http://shot.qip.ru/00EFT6-6soytzqZP/
-
Already had time to try a new birdy in flight. I do not know, how it flied actually, but that has turned out at you - very well. Excellent addition to FE! -
I am sorry. Certainly Lebedev factory. A typing error repeated twice!
-
There is no gratitude! As the information is reconnoitered not by me, I only have informed that has learned from others.A thank to you for excellent models. As to Voisins, such emblems were only by early machines, and on late were already same roundel insignia, as well as on Lebeds. http://www.aviahobby.ru/publ/lebedev/lebedev7.html(top photo) Voisins made at the Lebelev factory armed with a machine gun Colt. The installation under a machine gun Colt, developed on a factory Lebelev's, has passed tests in the spring of 1915 and was recommended in serial manufacture. It was first in Russian army the armed serial plane. http://www.aviahobby.ru/publ/lebedev/lebedev2.html

The reconstruction of an emblem was published in the book Краски русской авиации 1909-1922 гг. (Paints of Russian aircraft 1909-1922). Bad quality image it is possible to look here: http://www.retroplan.ru/encyclopaedia.html?sobi2Task=sobi2Details&sobi2Id=1093 Not hypothetical! ))
-
It hardly. Because the size of figure too small. Simply enough to remove dark blue points at the centre of marks on wings. I am not able to insert the images in this forum. Mark is possible to see here (top photo). http://wio.ru/ww1a/voisin.htm On early Voisins large badge represented on a rudder instead of an identification mark. Colour reconstruction hypothetical enough. The subject was discussed on a thematic Russian forum. http://aviaww1.forum24.ru/?1-19-20-00000012-000-120-0-1324064836 It is possible to specify at one of the fathers - founders of a forum, aviator_bob ( http://aviator-bob.livejournal.com/?skip=10). He knows more, than I...
-
A little bit we shall distract from skis. Only small specification concerning roundel insignia. More historical is wood and linenskin the version of colouring. Stephen1918 writes: Lebed factory used a slightly different version of the Russian roundel insignia Yes it so, but... Actually dark blue point at the centre of a circle is a firm badge of a Lebedev factory. On a badge was represented floating white swan and appropriate russian inscription. Such emblems were placed at the centre of tail national emblems, and also on fuselage (not always). On wings there were usual marks. It not the claim to quality of model! And the specification to decals is simple which everyone can bring independently, at desire in.
-
One of the most successful models in game! Only back machine-gun installation moves in itself, and it is slightly unpleasant. IRL, the operation of this machine gun was extremely difficult, and an aiming from it - practically impossible, therefore in parts him usually removed, at the same time facilitating thus machine. Whether it is possible in general to remove a back machine gun or even to fix it motionlessly? -
Stephen1918, IMHO, if not to pay of attention to a green grass ;) - very realistic updating of the plane with R-BVZ-type skis! The skis in flight and on ground should look so, as far as it is possible to judge on old photos. After the decision of problems with animation will be really cool.
-
quack74, there is a set of a photo and drawings of various planes of Russian Imperial Airservice, and also period of Civil war, which are established on a ski. And seasonal tiles, certainly, is healthy. But if the given changes are connected to such complexities, let it will be better more than models of different planes, than it is less, but on the ski chassis.
-
Stephen1918, thank for the answer/ Yes, if it is good to think, you are completely right. To attach a ski to the aeroplans it is really possible. You have some models of sea planes on floats, and it almost same)) But then the changes in landscapes for snow winter will be necessary and for certain changes in FM of model are required. You make the remarkable aeroplans, for what all fans FE, not only I are grateful to you. There are many models of planes, which were applied on East front (as against Anasal and Моska MB) and were not realized in First Eagles. For example, Аnade, Farsal, Rоland D.II... And ski... the idea interesting, but also without them is possible to do without.
-
As is known, in Russia in the winter the planes were put on a wooden ski. Whether there was at you an idea to create updating your remarkable planes for East front in ski variant? It would be healthy, as it seems!
-
Sincerely I thank the founder of so remarkable model of this disgusting plane! I among many people, which in delight from your works!
-
Huge thank, Stephen1918! Magnificent model of the disgusting plane! If you not best, precisely one of best. Very much would like to see of your product model of the plane Farman-30 (or "Farsal"), which had the large distribution on East Front! Once again thank for your perfect works! -
Decals for Post War Nations
Crawford commented on Stephen1918's file in Other Entente Aircraft Skins
THANK! However Ukrainian marks, which you apply here, almost completely fantastic. The rudder of a direction was really painted in national colours, but use of blue and yellow roundels is not documented. Actually basic identification is familiar to the Ukrainian aircraft of that time there were black tridents on a white square or even without a square. This symbolics was established in April, 1918 and further was not cancelled. It can seem strange, but even at that rather small numerical structure of aircraft, which was at disposal of the Ukrainian armies, the air commanders could not develop the uniform standard of identification marks. Therefore image of a trident was individual almost by each plane! At the same time some planes continued (more correctly, finished) to fly with old Russian marks. -
Fortification Objects
Crawford commented on Geezer's file in First Eagles - WWI and Early Years - Object Mods
Gratitude! Due to you ours FE still remain at height! -
By the above, not much to add. Your work is really great, as always. Thank you, that continues to delight us! -
Excellent work! Thanks! -
Very good! But I am a supporter of realistic rather than fantasy battles in the sky, so it would like to see in your performance model Farman-XXX, go "Farsal". These pushers really massively used on the Eastern Front and in large quantities were based on Russian factories. Can I count on the fact that we - all fans FE1 - see your new models? -
Thanks for a great model with excellent realization! However, it should be noted that aircraft Anatra not stained, and were natural colors of materials, so green color model is fantastic. Next, planes "Anasal" did not have time to take part in the battles of WWI (but they were used in the civil war in the former Russian Empire). In fact, on the Eastern Front were applied scouts "Anade" or Anatra-Dekan - early model with weak Rotary engine. I would like to see in your performance this model as well. This is a wish and a hot request. Kind regards!
