Don't forget that the early version(s) of the Stoof came along in time to wear that very attractive overall glossy Sea Blue livery of the early-mid fifties.

What ever happened to the Stoofs with the radome on top? Wasn't someone working on those?
And speaking of colourful Trackers; here's a few for inspiration:

I stumble upon this KLM Tracker used for technical training.
Nice colors!

Over in the Cargo Haulers thread, I posted some shots of the new stripped out C-1A for civil duties set up as a cargo unit.
The paint kit is the same ... C-1A, and the beta base unit is available for anyone who wants to do some textures using this model.
Speak up if interested in doing a paint scheme and I will send you the download link.
Thanks
First I just love the model so a great big thank you!!!
Second I made a weathered paint of the C1 livery, complete with the peeled paint :) I can upload them if anyone is interested in them :)
Unzip the content so you have a texture.private folder under your C1A folder. I use the following config text in the aircraft.cfg file:
[fltsim.x] //replace x with next numer inline.
title=C1A Private
sim=C1A
panel=
model=C1A
sound=
texture=private
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id_enable=1
atc_id=SE-AND
ui_manufacturer=Grumman
ui_type=C1A-SOH
ui_variation=SE-AND
visual_damage=1
Description=C1A Model by Milton Shupe, flight model by Tom Falley, textures by Anders Samuelsson

atc_id_font=Verdana,-11,1,600,0

atc_type=GRUMMAN

You also need to copy the rest of the texture files from one of the other C1A texture folders, I have only included the ones I've modified.

Beautiful work guys...
I am playing with one of the earlier repaints, and I cannot recall who did it!
You painter guys, do not forget to put your credit in the aircraft.cfg entry!

and having a lotta fun. many thanks to all!

Has anyone created suitable cfg files for the rcbco catapult launch and arrestor gauges??
My praise and thanks goes out to Milton and the team for bringing the community yet another fantastically detailed and fun-to-fly model. Great work all of you and I am a big fan of all the models that Milton and his team have put together all these years. Certainly lots of compliments for this great effort and the many happy hours it has given me, being able to fly virtually. :salute:
Hey Uncle Milton, i was wondering if the Turbo 3T was ever used for Cargo, if it was, is it possible to do a Clean Civvy version like the one you did with the Radial Trader? Not sure why i am asking, but i figured if it wasnt too much time.
I decided to go ahead with uploading the C-1A Cargo Hauler with "mgr's" base textures to keep the ball rolling here.
This unit has two models: both are the standard C-1A with a cargo outfitting. Both models can be painted using Marcel's paint kit.
But one model has reflectivity built in and the main exterior body parts texture names must have the _t appended to the texture names to work and to provide the reflective properties.
To reduce the size of the download, I also aliased the panel and sounds to the original C-1A. Of course you can change that as you wish to any of the models, or copy the panel and sounds to this aircraft folder.
The paint kit is here: http://www.flightsimonline.com/Grumm...a-paintkit.zip
Thanks Uncle Milton! Thats fine if you dont. Non the less, thanks you.
Progress. Thought I'd never get the top of the chevron on the back of the nacelle to match up accross textures! WHEW! Almost done now, bit more weathering to do on the wings, then the docs and it'll be ready for upload. Then quick to follow will be one each from the sister Squadrons, VS-72 and 73.

Let'em flow Sir! :applause:
Duckie: to you and all the other gifted/talented warriors working on these ships;
I'm drooling at the prospect of flying all these most awesome works of art.
Time has been so pressing on getting things out the hangar, most of my models are still in 'Milton blue', only daring to fly them for sound checks when needed.
To all of you kind Gentlemen who have been so generous in feedback and comments re sound, I thank you, each and every one.
If we're finally getting things right somehere, then credit is due to to your continual and often gentle encouragement.
Many, many thanks.
Nigel
