Thanks UT!This year's vacation is now but a distant memory, so I've started working on it MR ...
BTW, I was googling around looking for some clearer pics of those hand-holds and stumbled across the Bristol Beaufort Mk.VIIIs and Mk.IX- sort of light transport aircraft built for the RAAF
Cheers,

Schoolboy error with the MkII repaints, I needed to remove the exhaust collector ring from the front of the engine cowl, as with the P & W engines it was hidden at the rear of the engine...
Never mind, they are all done & the dp tweaking for each version is done too, along with sharpening up the VC & making the 2D Panel WIN7+ "compliant" along the way. Onto the DAP Mk VIIIs now & into the home stretch...
More lovely work. Thanks John. I'll have to re-read "Song of the Beauforts", a history of 100 squadron RAAF.

Thanks John,
A well written account of 100 squadron operations. Some years back I had the good fortune to hear Colin King give a talk at the Australian War Memorial on joint Australian/US attacks on Rabaul, followed by a close inspection of the Memorial's Beaufort Mk.8.
Repaints are all done. Lots of Aussie noseart to admire ...
some more ...
Great stuff. Thanks for this John. A very nice selection beautifully finished. I have a soft spot for "Let it go Hughie!". That generation of Australians would say this when it started to rain (particularly at the end of a dry spell).
Beauforts were also put to good use in the Mediterranean, particularly those based on Malta. "The Armed Rovers" gives a good account of their anti shipping missions and the part they played in cutting supplies to the Afrika Korps.
An interesting short film from the AWM collection. Apart from the Beauforts the P-40 fuselage roundel is of interest.

Every now and then, I think I'd like to try doing a repaint on something....then I look at the superb work of our contributers on here and think...wtf...I could never do anything even half way approaching what these peeps do......
One day though........
Keep up the superb work you artisans of pixelography.....

Description: Merlin2 Bristol Beaufort Mk9 revised by UncleTgt
This is a revision of the Bristol Beaufort model series made by Merlin2 for CFS 2. This pack depicts the mk9. I used MDLmat & DosMDLCv2 to give the model some shine, better coloured aircrew lifevests, plus improve the glass transparency & colour, prop disks etc.
The 2D panel bitmap has been made WIN7+ safe, & the definition of the VC instruments has been improved.
The .dp file has been given historically accurate payload options, & the damage effects & hitpoints were tweaked to give a better combat experience. As the airfile was developed by Jerry Beckwith, the only thing I adjusted was to lower the elevator authority somewhat, to try to make it less fighter-like when engaged. I changed the aircraft family from 4 to 5 (more a G4M2 Betty than a TBF Avenger), but this has not been tested extensively in missions.
The sounds are aliased to the C47 Dakota.
The texture offered is: A9-712 "R" of 10 Local Air Supply Unit RAAF, Tokorina, Bougainville AUG45. Used in efforts to convince isolated pockets of Japanese to surrender.
