    I hope to tackle the other two Buffalo aircraft (tankers #02 and #58) as well, after that we'll see.
    btw, Mike, do we have a psd file for the tank as well, or do I need to adapt the one that came with the release?
    Jan, I've put a specific paint kit for the pod on the website for you:

    I know the numbers on the nose are a little further back than what they should be, however there is some texture wrapping in the upper part of the first number, so there has been some compromise, next one is the USMC scheme

    Don't worry Matt. In the model train hobby there was such a thing as "Modeller's licence" so I am happy if you need to apply "Painter's licence" to your repaints.


    Cheers

    If you look at 1:12, you'll see the water splash from the initial impact between the mine and the water hit the tail of the aircraft... It was a classic that happened to aircraft during the development of the real upkeep mine, as well.

    My interest was in whether the aircraft was returned to flight after the incident? I presume it was?

    Edit: That video - which appears only a tiny bit edited from the original programme - says that the aircraft was "mercifully undamaged" but I understood that they did actually find later that the HStab was, in fact, damaged by the impact.

    Cheers,

    Just watched this episode of Ice Pilots NWT last week, I don't recall them saying anything about the aircraft being damaged. However, the footage of the recreation that was shot with Buffalo and Arnie was used in multiple documentaries, some contain more footage and information than others. According to wikipedia, Dambusters: Building the Bouncing Bomb, Dambusters Fly Again and an episode of NOVA called Bombing Hitlers Dams all use that same footage. So while it might not have been mentioned in Ice Pilots, it may have in one of the other documentaries.

    Do these paints work with the non-tanker version? Or is the tank perhaps removable, similar to something like Carenado's C185? I don't own this aircraft yet, but these upcoming paints are tempting me...

    Start working on this one - inspired by the DC-6's of Securite Civile ....... One Question for Mike - may i ask where on the fuselage-paint the upper antenas are located ?
