:encouragement: Coudln't agree more with you on this one Huub. Especially for a freeware.
Also, your paintjob on the Bloch 152 is absolutely STUNNING :redfire:. Restauravia model I guess ?

Thanks l'inguane,
Like you I like to give some older models a seconds life. Its indeed the MB.152 by Emmanuel Geffroy (Restauravia). I always loved the model as it is very well done and it is a model outside the main stream. It has has a very nice VC, however its a real pity that it isn't "clickable".
Although they are definitely not bad, I always considered the textures, which came with the Restauravia MB.152, a bit "flat". In my opinion they did not really show what a beautiful model it actually is. Therefore I already decided a very long time ago to put this MB.151 on my to do list.
In general I always thought it a bit weird that there are so few French aircraft in Flight simulation. There are many very talented French developers, but for instance the only Dewoitine D.510, I can remember, which is really made for MS Flightsimulator is the D.510 by Jean-Marie Mermaz for FS2002.....
And the only MS.406 usable in FS2004 is the old CFS2 model by Thicko.
Cheers,
Huub
This evening I added the last shadows to the Bloch MB.152 and I think its finished. When you see anything I've missed or something I should change please let me know. When there are no changes to make I will try to upload these textures during the weekend for the few who still fly this beautiful model.
Cheers,
Huub

Amazing stuff - the MB.152 is just one of those planes that looks right and your skin brings it alive. I assume it's Ito's model. I wish I'd purchased the France Sim (I think that was the name or maybe EFSim) version a few years back as it's no longer available and looked just a bit better than Ito's rendition.
I look forward to downloading your skin when available.
Thanks, Taff :mixed-smiley-010:
Huub, any chance you will be doing some weathered paints for Milton Shupe's new A-26? Weathering, to me, is the single best enhancement in a paint scheme. It really shows in the screen grabs above.
Thanks for the nice words guys.
Taff: Its not Mr Ito's Bloch, but the one done by Restauravia, which is in my opinion the better one. It has a very nice VC although its a pity this VC is not "clickable. Like you I regret I never bought the EFSim one. It looked great in the images and the package included several models. I even started the process to purchase one, but I can remember the process was so complicated that I gave up halfway.
The Restauravia Bloch MB.152-C1 can be found here: http://restauravia.fr/html/creations_fs2004.html
Downwind: Like many other models the A-26 has been on my to-do-list for a very long time already. However it just never reached the top of the list. There are just too many great models which I would like to repaint and I only have limited time. I have the paintkit still somewhere so who knows :encouragement:.
Cheers,
Huub
Below some pictures which are still around of the beautiful EFSim model. The Restauravia model perhaps has a bit less features, however the model is definitely on the same level.

The French ace Capitaine Louis Delfino entererd the war with GC I/4 flying the Curtiss H-75. On the 17th of May 1940, he took over command of CG II/9, which flew the Bloch MB.152. He was one of the most successful pilots on the Bloch and scored score 7 victories (some shared) with this aircraft.
Louis Delfino is perhaps better know as the commander of the French Normandie-Niemen squadron, which flew with the Russians during WWII.

Yes this is my FS9/highly modified Golden Wings install. The clouds and sky colours are freeware and done by Pablo Daiz (HDE clouds).
The rest is a mixture. For instannce the water is a package "perfect water", however changed in a way I can't recall anymore.
Ground textures are from different sources as well. A part of it is GW3 and I think all autogen is still GW3.
Cheers,
Huub
