P-61 Update 10/4/12

[N2056]

Interior framework here. I have been working through individual parts and sadly have been finding numerous technical errors that were contributing to my earlier export woes. It's amazing what you learn over time. :isadizzy:
I fix them as I go. The fact that I am finding them is a good thing, as it will improve my odds of actually finishing this project! :jump:

Very nice, I hardly can wait!

Hope you don't mind: yesterday I reorganized my photo reference material for the Solomons and found some rare P-61 images, probably on Carney field on Guadalcanal:

I question this brilliant work to how much access you can get to the real thing , every little piece makes it better and more indeed a real feel too , this is one can't wait for P-61. :cool:

Great photos. I see that one has the earlier narrow props.

All keep up the great work!

Thanks for the kind words. My "access" to a real one is whatever I can get off the internet. The restoration pics posted by the Mid Atlantic Air Museum have been a huge help in figuring out the bits!

...My "access" to a real one is whatever I can get off the internet...

Nothing wrong with that, I did the same. The weird bit is when you finally see what you've been modelling in a museum and it's like visiting an old friend...:isadizzy:

Good to see this being worked on again! :applause:

I think I still have Michael Davies' original models somewhere on a disc from when this project first started..

Sooo, you still need a correct flight model right??
