I am almost done with the Skyrocket, just need to finish the VC. However, I won't release anything until I get my spiffy new widescreen LCD back from the shop. It developed a serious intermittent at about 90 days. I am using my 7 year old CRT which is OK for design but not for texturing. The red gun has a tendency to bloom and so it won't hold a good color balance for long.
Meanwhile here is a "first look" at the Douglas XB-19. Look, Maw, no props!

Cheers, Paul

Are you also going to model the XB-19A with the inlines?

They both look great so far. :ernae:

I don't plan to do the inline version mainly because I don't have enough data to do it justice. I have pics, but no drawings. BTW, my family lived in Columbus, Ohio next door to Wright Field during WW2. I actually saw the B-19 in flight a couple of times. It was fitted with the inlines by then, this was probably 1944. I remember it seemed to fly about as fast as a Piper Cub and took the entire city of Columbus to turn around.
