Your doing great work Milton! Not sure if you have added this yet but dont forget the bubble on the rear of the inner main gear doors. My guess is its for the pointy part of the main struts/ hinge area.

:salute: Big 'T' I don't know how to express my gratitude for the enormous input you've already contributed to this project!
If I understand correctly, you have LIVE access to these incredible machines; lucky man!
Dare I ask about the possibilities of 'aquiring' authentic recordings for flap and retracs???

Thanks Nigel! Yeah I live by the Air Attack Base in Hemet where they use the Grumman S-2F3AT (S-2T) Turbo Trackers for Initial attack fire bombing missions. I grew up with them using the S-2As (which sounds wayyyyyy bettter). Those two are what got me addicted to photographing airtankers.

Wing fold progress after many hours of "engineering". LOL
Still much to do to finish this up.
really looking great milton i cant wait to get my hands on this, keep the good work up
A few more shots of the wing folds process ...
Keep in mind that I haven't seen an actual wing folding in action but this is what the wing pivot angles give me.
Great Job Milton! I'm always checking this thread ready to test fly it
Not much to test fly right now; just a blank exterior model.
I do have a base coat of paint on her so Tom can get started on the flight model. Once we have something to fly, I'll get copies out to the team contributors. No mapping yet for textures, no VC, no panel.
Me too, within reason.
Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!
Cheers,
Maarten
I talked with a pilot of the Cal Fire S-2Ts and he said the flaps are pretty much silent.
Heres another video with great sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=dlK81JSL0f4
Cant wait love the detail!
Can someone with knowledge of these launch hookups tell me if there is any movement in this hook, or if they simply latch on and launch from it.
This under-belly hookup is forward about at the prop line.
Thanks

In FSX have now done some carrier circuits and bumps, Lurches and Jerks? Not a supersonic thunder monster, but going to be a lot of fun to fly!

Milton,
I'm quietly watching from the sidelines and along with the rest it's amazing seeing a master craftsman at work.
Thanks for another classic taking shape.
Pete.
Dont forget the "nipple" on the spinner I always remember seeing it when i sat in the cockpit as a kid. You do amazing work Milton! Love the Pitots you put on there also!!! I wish i had your skill in modeling!!
