i know there are many interested on this, video show the murphy's war version that is pratically ready, last test on other versions and this pack should be out the 2th genuary 2011

[Cag40Navy]

Yes! I look forward to it! Thank you.

[Roger]

Excellent!

[CP1207]

Looking forward to flying it!.
Always thought it was a cool aircraft even before Murphy's War.

[icarus]

agree but the murphy's war with three minutes of a flying duck give a better idea to me how it flies and trying to replay it.(and give me also the opportunity to replay the sound engine)

[icarus]

while waiting to receive the grumman duck with last updates and release i was checking for future usa release...i know there is one but i have definitively planned this one, i am addicted with the design and land on carrier actually.

Hi Icarus!

Any update news on the Duck?

Regarding the Helldiver, will you be doing an early or late version?

Update, i am waiting the tailhook version and need testing on carrier this version the rest is 95% ready, hope 10-15 of this month released.

Helldiver probably early and late. As with the Grumman Duck that includes all versions

[icarus]

received the tailhook version, i 'm testing now i will update you later with new screenshots.

[icarus]

realtime update:

received tailhook version and after setup it works, three landing on norfolk, virginia carrier and no problems at all...so there will be a tailhook version single pilot and another one with rear gunner. should be released next friday 14th genuary. I will prepare also a carrier version with WWII static aircrafts, a grumman duck with jets and copters around do not looks good to me.

another video with landing carrier tries will be uploaded in the next days on our youtube channel.

[icarus]

while I'm continuing last test, today i have maked another skin, Grumman Duck J2f-3 ADMIRAL BARGE located at Annapolis

No offense but, those rivets look way too big. Every time I look at the side view of it, I get the feeling of looking at a wall of concrete blocks. It's not that way in the photos I've looked at.

i have corrected the wrong image in previous post..that is the final version and can't be changed better...i have many other photos were rivets are bigger depends from version year etc..the final is a good compromise...and you see rivets also because that skin was in full light or couldn't see anything in normal flight you won't remember there are rivets.

i am preparing now the candy clipper skin

http://blog.kermitweeks.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/grumman-duck-in-flight.jpg


the "Candy Clipper", was from a Duck that had been sunk early on in the battle for the Philippines during World War II. After the aircraft was salvaged, and brought back to flying condition, it brought badly needed supplies in, including medical supplies and candy for the troops during the last siege for the islands. The "Candy Clipper" was the last aircraft to leave the Philippines before the Japanese took over the islands in 1942."

yes we can survive , as always people love made some comments...and how much i am stupid to post preview to people don't deserve(few )...perhaps it's the time i release only on store without any preview or comments...for sure the grumman will be out without a post. So if people interested visit our site. This is the second time i back in a forum and second time polemics restart....i can enjoy also flying by myself models....released only on my computer lol...sory but i am really tired and hurted of some people attitude...and closed private messaging too...see you. If you want update on our next releases visit our site ...if not...is not my problem. i do not have nothing agaist this forum there are some nice people but i think this the end of my forum experience here.(two time hitting to our models without having one without haven't tried one or bought one is too much for me)
