Once again...a real winner!!! Thanks Paul:salute: Ted

The #48 team did put together a good race & seemed to steadily work their way up. - Don't know what happened to Kahne there at the end - he really dropped off. - Seems like Kurt was only good in clean air - Danica did get some boos - is the "love affair" over? Hypothetical: - If Logano had been leading with Stewart in 2nd & Newman in 3rd, what would have happened? :icon_lol:

Many thanks BC! Great little helo. Bill

Thanks for the heads up Francois! Good to hear. Bill

Awesome graphics and scenery.

Gaucho, If that's you @ 75, you're livin damn well! :applause:

It was actually uncovered in 2011 - however I can't remember what happened in terms of responsibility and after actions..... No doubt another embarrassing incident though...

I hear ya!

Beautiful looking model. Good to hear it flies well by hand. Nice work, Carenado.

Awesome Work man! Brilliant riveting. You have some incredible patience.

I wish that guy wasnt in the way so I could see the details on that beauty behind him.

Thanks Ian! I'll probably get it tomorrow night, my Friday evening weekend present to myself. :)

Thanks guys. Just a humble poly bender. I really liked doing that Cessna. Great design by Mr. Cessna himself. His first entry into the industry on his own. Bill

Many thanks guys. Im only a humble poly bender. Thats all. Man, I had so many mis-spellings. sigh.... Hard to believe I had that many uploads.

Outstanding service to God and your work Bill!:salute: Ted

Just letting you know you did an amazing job up to this point :O) Ted

Many thanks John. I didnt know that. Explains why the Tigermoth trainers were all yellow. I know very little of the WWII schemes and regulations. Thanks DVJ. It will not have floats though, nor scenery. This package will sport two versions of airframes; inline 6 Rangers and radial Warner Super Scarabs. No differences in panels aside from classic krinkle black to chipped up 'i need new paint' to restored, high quality wood laminants. All of the panels were pretty much the same, though they did have some slight variations, they were mostly all the same shape. The pacers however had 'alot' of changes and model versions. They actually had probably 5 versions of 'factory' panels, and they have kits now for updated modern version panels which I captured one in the 'bush' version of the Pacer. So, the Fairchild will not be as diverse as the Pacer in that there arent so many versions. And..... They will be able to shed their skirts off! (wheel pants. wheel cover things. aerodynamic landing gear shells). :S

Thanks Rick! Unfortunately, I have most all of them. Great planes and love the AVH stealth Helo. They need more planes! :)

I am close to getting this. Does anyone know if it runs in Prepar3D? Bill

Here's a good union of bands...:cool:

Wombat, Unfortunately, some friends of the wife are in town so COTA V8 is **iffy** at best.....:kilroy:

YEP you're right on P! I had every album they ever did...AWESOME! Ted

With the exception of my x100 & film gear, all the other stuff is gone....

Thanks guys and thanks especially for the review from simHQ! It looked very impressive. Ted

Thanks John for the info. Interesting to know that the mustard yellow belly on the Brittain version is authentic. I wonder why they had yellow? One that is going around actually looks like a Storch paint scheme, but has Allied markings. Reminds me in my younger days, a guy had a Stearman painted in WWI German markings... Why??? sigh...

Sweet! I wonder what in the world it does to do this?

Thanks guys. The interior of poor ole Blue Louise is not good. It hasnt been cleaned in probably 2 years, so you can imagine the buildup, dust, mud... Just not good. Maybe I should have it cleaned up a bit, have the pretzel bags taken out. The carpet probably isnt save-able... :S

LoL I wish but I all my spare change is going towards the kids college funds....

Not that expensive: - My local lab charges $2.95 to develop 36 exposures of C41 color film. - All my shots that you see above were scanned on a $150 Epson v500 scanner A D600 digital full frame body alone costs $2000

:icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:.......Next thing you know, the film bug will bite you again.....:mixedsmi: Good stuff there from your archives :icon29:

Thanks Jan. Nice photo! I hadnt seen that one online in my searches for data. Yep. U-Boot hunters, helping to keep the coasts of America free of enemy subs. Thank the Lord the war is over.

Thanks guys. I have no idea. Its taken from an actual Argus that has this paint scheme. I changed one of the numbers in its tail Registry. I know very little of WWII markings, sadly. The second version Argus is on a Radial in a museum also. Very odd markings. The bullseyes are very small and located at the bottom of the parts and purpleish. Yes! Thanks Craig. 3DS Max is amazing....

I wonder how well Alonso & Kimi would do in a Red Bull against Vettel :ques:

Some more... This is poor ole 'Blue Louise'. She's had a rough time with the elements up around Alaska, parts of Canada and Northern Idaho. Her master is a bush pilot and maintenance has been scarce. A damaged rudder found a replacement from a yard from an older yellow Fairchild. Taylers air service was able to reskin the ripped up left aileron, and so far, the duct tape has kept the animal bite holes in the fabric from growing till proper patches can be applied. :S The Argus series of Fairchilds designed for Military work. Grunge needed. Note, landing gear skirts can be hidden as like on the Piper Pacer series.

Beautiful work, team!

Agree for sure! Here are couple of recent B&W film shots that I somehow managed to grab.... A White Rose by RedTail_Panther, on Flickr Tower Up High by RedTail_Panther, on Flickr

My film SLRs are quite old but they still get the job done (Shot this with camera in my avatar) :mixedsmi: Hatz CB-1 by RedTail_Panther, on Flickr
