[NachtPiloten]

Which one do you want me to finish first? :a1310:

[Capt. Winters]

Hi Ted,

John here, Lancaster please.

regards Rob. um I mean John, definitely John.

[Bravo/4]

:biggrin-new:Real John here Ted, which is nearest to being complete?

[mongoose]

No the REAL John is looking for the Beaufighter NF!:wavey: but come to think of it, any TOW variety would be good!:jump:

[NachtPiloten]

Well, all the models are about in the same state. The beaus are closest I guess. We'll see.

[FireStorm II]

To Tell the Truth:
Will the real John please stand up.
:adoration::adoration::adoration:

[Bravo/4]

No worries Ted, does that include the turret Beau?:encouragement:

[NachtPiloten]

I have three beaus just about ready to ship to you for final touches. The pits really need a once over in my opinion. I checked on the dihedral tailfins and all I could find was a bit saying that the mkii were mixed beginning in January '42 an most were dihedral after that. So do you want a mkii with the 12 degree fins?

Ted

[Bravo/4]

If it's not a lot of work Ted yes, just gives a lot more scope skin wise!

Yea I'll look at the pit, see what needs doing. :untroubled:

[mongoose]

I assume all going strong on the Beau and Manchester; among others? I hope there haven't been too many distractions, some I acknowledge as my fault.:wiggle:

[NachtPiloten]

The Beau's are out getting packaged and the Manchester making some LOD's and waiting for some literature to make sure the model is accurate in other areas.

[mongoose]

Is Dan involved with any of his magic?

[Bravo/4]

Dan has got his hands full with the new Spitfire, so we gave him a break on these two models, of coarse if he wants to do something in the future!:biggrin-new:

Rob's been very busy with real life lately, but he's told me he will be working on the Beaufighter very soon!

Both are excellent models from Ted, well worth waiting for!

[gecko]

Certainly willing to work it in guys, just let me know. Custom effects, sounds, special animations, manuals, etc.

[Bravo/4]

Look what Ted sent me. More to come too!:encouragement:

Looking really nice.:applause::ernaehrung004:

[gecko]

Early Manchester, nice!

[Cuttles]

Terrific! Haven't even seen a decent photo of one..that's not a retractable upper turret (the straight back of it), or is this a stupid comment? :)

[Bravo/4]

No not retractable, but they were removed on a lot of MKI's because they caused a lot of buffeting, and actually twisted the rear fuselage structure!

[Cuttles]

Thanks! Sounds like a good design lol, guess there wasn't much time for testing during the design phase back then.Old addage if it looks right etc..

[popsaka]

All this talk of Beaufighters has me fidgeting in me seat... :redfire:
