Great news indeed. And the next project a BF-109E? :biggrin-new:

[hairyspin]

Baz, now you’re talkin’! :jump:

[Cees Donker]

Great news indeed. And the next project a BF-109E? :biggrin-new:

Or a Bf-109D?

Love It! I have your "Old" Hurricane and can't wait for this one.

I don't need any more aircraft... I don't need any more aircraft... I don't need any more aircraft... I don't need any more aircraft...

Well, maybe just this one :)

"The battle for France is over... the battle for Britain is about to begin..."

Actually, 'of' not 'for'.

" What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over. I expect the Battle of Britain is about to begin. "

Important to me as a Briton, and to air display organisers who otherwise have been giving their September airshows the wrong name for the past 70-odd years.

Nice Hurricane, by the way.

[Pips]

Yum, yum, yum! My all time favourite WWII fighter. :redfire:

This of course, assumes that I am quoting Churchill. But what if I were not? Never mind, perhaps a little too subtle for some.:engel016:

I don't recall subtlety being one of your strong points mate! :biggrin-new:
Nice looking Hurricane and one I'll be happy to add to my hanger when she's finished.
My first two purchases for FS9 were your original Hurricane and the Spitfire collection, back in the day when Harvey-Norman was a reliable source of PC additions.
Both still reside on my GW3 installation and are regularly exercised!
Another excellent choice as well, looking forward to it.
:encouragement:

[IanP]

Another one to go into the ever growing list of things I can't afford but really neeeeeeeeeeeeed! :D

I think I have a couple of airfields already on the list for this one. Maybe. Perhaps. ;)

[eddie]

Great news bazzar!! Bader's Bus finally,lol :encouragement:

So you were not quoting W.C. ( complete with quotation marks ) ? My goodness, that is subtlety indeed. How stupid of me - I do apologise.

[bazzar]

No need to apologise Paul. It's not worth the anxst. I will be more straightforward in future.:engel016:

[warchild]

ahhh. the little bulldog that did most of the work and got the least glory saving Britain. She looks beautiful already Baz.. She'll be awesome..

[huub vink]

Thanks for doing this model Bazz. Like the Dunkirk Spit and the Bulldog another certain buy for me. My first payware was the Battle of Britain set for CFS2. Its amazing to see how the sims and your skills have developed over the years!


Or a Bf-109D?.......

Cees, This would be very nice as well, but currently I prefer an Emil in the same quality as the Durnkirk Spitfire and the Bulldog. But as I'm greedy both, would even be better :biggrin-new:

Cheers,
Huub

[NickB]

Yaaay:applause:, and it's going to have a really good paint kit too, isn't it?:jump:.

[bazzar]

Yes it will have a paintkit. Same as the Spitifre. Although FSX does not support PBR, we use the same techniques in the material and texture creation on all oiur stuff these days.:engel016:

[huub vink]

Bazz,

Looking at the pictures I think this is the Hurricane Mk.I (late version) with metal wings and the three bladed Rotol propeller. Am I correct that this is the only version you will include in this package?

Thanks,
Huub

The prop in the model renders appears to resemble a de havilland unit, although it's not quite correct in size and proportions, including the spinner.

(It sort of looks like a hybrid of a DH and later Rotol!)

By the time of the Battle of Britain, DH or Rotol constant speed units were fitted.

The Rotol prop was the RX5/2 and can be distinguished by the blunt spinner, and broad wooden blades, whilst the de havilland unit was the type 5/32, with thin metal blades.

For more info on the prop types fitted to the Hurricane, here are some useful links and with pictures for reference : -

Btw, I'm looking forward to this new Hurricane!

Cheers

[huub vink]

Thanks for the explanation Paul :encouragement:. Like you I'm very much looking forward to this model. And most likely there will be just one single version. Which is understandable as an early version with two bladed prop and fabric covered wings would almost be a complete new model.
But we can always hope :biggrin-new:

Cheers,
Huub

[bazzar]

Here's the Rotol setup we are using on the BoB Hurricanes. We are producing another version but http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/attachment.php?attachmentid=63106&stc=1more on that later.:engel016:

When talking about Hurricanes, patience can be an abstract concept indeed!! :biggrin-new:
