The project is well on the way. First compile was this past weekend

Looking good! As have flown the SV.4B and C many years ago, will definitely add this one to my virtual hangar.

Many thanks and looking forward to future updates.

Nice one. Can I put in an early request for the Rothmans livery?

[Spad54]

Nice one. Can I put in an early request for the Rothmans livery?

Sure we can cover the front 'pit and do that

[dhasdell]

Thank you. I never thought I'd get that reply so soon. I remember the team from the 70s.

[heywooood]

Looks good - love the little Stampe

[Spad54]

Awesome job there.

[big-mike]

A very nice little plane!

[Dumonceau]

Any chance for a Belgian Air Force one with the canopy? If so, it's a direct buy for me!

Dumonceau

[flying legend]

Finaly a Stampe! And it looks good! A Stampe with canopy would also be very welcome, but any Stampe will do it for me!

Looking Forward to it!

[fleurdelys]

Two STAMPS were used for the movie "High Road to China" starring Tom Selleck. A classic in my book.

I might get back to flight simulation with that one... :encouragement:


It is looking good !


And don't forget the paint kit, please. I'll have to dirty them up a bit to dress them as in the movie... :biggrin-new:

Fleurdelys

[TeiscoDelRay]

The two from the movie will be included and I am sure they will have some dirt :)

[dhasdell]

The two from the movie will be included

I suppose the Stampe must be the 60s and 70s successor to the Wichita Fokker.

[Spad54]

There will be a paint kit. Regular updates of the project may be found on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/GoldenAgeSimulation

Great to see a Stampe Paul:applause:

They still have plenty there...

These are all in the Royal Belgian Army Museum in Brussels, but there is even a special Stampe en Vertongen museum near Antwerp!

It does indeed look good. But a depiction of a Belgian plane without a Belgian version would be nothing short of an abomination...

One will be included perhaps 2. In discussions about the canopy version

[heywooood]

looks correct in every way to my eyes...nice paint

I have a question... Is it possible to add some shading or shadow to the fuselage stringers and wing ribs such that they will stand out more from those surfaces?

it is the only difference I can tell between the r/l photo and the model screenshot by comparison - just a question - I am not a painter

[IFlySWA]

Looks nice. :encouragement: Goofy question...How do you pronounce Stampe? I've heard some say Stampe as in something you place on an envelope, while others say Stampe as in you stomp on something. :dizzy:

This an earlier version off the fuselage. The finished version has a bit more detail

[heywooood]

Thank you both for your replies - much appreciated. I had noticed the stringer and wing rib detail but thought the detail gets lost from many angles because of the lighting in FSX - I was just wondering if a paint layer that shaded the detail might improve things and help the detail stand out a little more in all lighting angles

The challenge with adding static shading is exactly that. It's static and will look as equally unrealistic at different lighting angles.

[heywooood]

yeah - I was hoping there could be some sort of trade off balance but I suppose trying to manage that to all tastes would be like trying to ride an eight legged horse...

thanks for the reply, Paul

If this model comes to us with the canopy, I will buy it several times... For myself and my Belgian simming buddies!

Thanks Roger it was a huge challenge to do. I'm pleased hope others will be as well. Expectations for this model are high and it's our first European model. Naturally we are all a bit nervous about reception.

well I'm glad to see a biplane that can be flown in rainy conditions without having to carry a bucket along

ps - the dark olive drab over mustard yellow paint really pops on this model for some reason

[Anthin]

This may be your best aircraft ever Paul.

A definite buy for me.

Ow, that looks pretty nice! Are you considering doing an AO pass on the fuselage inside (cockpit walls)?

[T6flyer]

Looking good. The Stampes I've flown in had three piece windscreens, whilst these here appear to be a one piece plexiglass version. I'm liking it a lot, but sometimes have to look twice at the screenshots to see that there is something actually there. Just a thought.

Hi Martin

The aircraft I've been studying all have single piece windscreens albeit with some distortion where the plexi has been folded. Might be able to simulate that effect. See attached. Do you have pictures of a three piece windscreen installed on a Stampe?

Will have a look through my old photos. Both of the ones I flew (a B and C) were rebuild projects, so perhaps the screens were rather on the unique side, but will still have a look. Was a long time ago now, but seem to remember the frames. If they were one off (well two offs) then what you have is correct. Keep up the good work, look forward to the end result.

Cheers,

Martin

Edit: Am asking my Stampe owning friends now, and so far it seems its 50/50 as to framed and one piece windscreens. Here is a photo I took of a friend in one at Vervier, Belgium in 2009. On the original it can be seen to have three pieces as one is chipped and worn.

I hope I do not get crucified for this post! I have always loved the Stampe SV4 (apart fron the 'orrible looking enclosed cockpit - I don't like the enclosed Tiger Moth either! I accept that it should be modelled to cover the Belgian Military/Civil versions).
I also love all GAS oferings and have the majority of them. As far as the Stampe is concerned, this is impressive stuff and I will no doubt buy it when completed. I have looked at the pictures posted and keep thinking 'something does not look quite right' but have struggled to put my finger on what it is. I have looked at a lot of pictures of the aircraft and it has literally just hit me - the tip of the fin does not look quite rounded enough but more seriously the nose contour appears to curve downwards too soon. It is a straight line from the front of the first windshield to the end of the engine cowlings - the curve down only starts at the nose itself. Why I did not notice this earlier is annoying as I guess it is too late to change now. Apologies for that. I will still get the model whatever, too much work has gone into it.

cheers, Peter Watkins

[T6flyer]

Time for a slice of humble pie...just had confirmation from Matthew Boddington who has worked and flown on Stampes for over 40 years as that the windscreen is a single piece bent into shape. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Must start taking some memory tablets as was convinced there were three pieces. How wrong could I be? :)

You have a point about the cowl. (not yet convinced about how much to modify the rudder) That can be addressed. Good pick up. It pays to have eyes look at the project as it progresses. Thanks for pointing that out.

Looking forward to the Stampe. There are a couple based at my local field including EI-BAJ..

Wow! That was quick! Impressive. Looking great:ernaehrung004:

[heywooood]

I agree - the improved Stampe looks correct at the nose, compared to the r/l examples provided.

the tail (vert fin and rudder) still look a little different - the r/l example looks similar to what you see on a Stearman - while the GAS version looks more DeHavilland...
but it is only a very slight difference and not a show stopper to me.

[heywooood]

any updates from the GAS company...?
