Both...?????
Looking forward to the Lodestar here as well.
Let Being Helpful Be More Important Than Being Right.
I've read somewhere that the Lodestar and the Ventura both had the same wing. Was the Ventura MkII the solid nose version with the Martin turret? (same as that on the Harpoon) Milton, you already have some components on the Harpoon that can be used in building the Ventura.
Looking very much forward to the Harpoon.

Sure :-)
From a modeling standpoint (and textures), practically everything about the MKII is different. Fuselage (though they say is basically the same, check cockpit windshield, side windows, overhead, bomb bay, and fuse tail) , wings (flaps, ailerons), engine cowlings and nacelles, tails, main gear, and then inside the cockpit is really different. To me, it is a whole new project; same with the Lodestar.
Not saying I will not do one or both, just understand it is not a clone of the Harpoon with different tails. In my view, everything is different.
Hi Milton,
A vote for the Lodestar from this desk :- )
thanks for the great teamwork and awesome modelling.
cheerio

Hi Milton
This is looking great. I am looking forward to this aircraft and will appreciate it as you release it. Not worried about the variants just want what you have done. A great addition and I am grateful for your s and other hard work.
Actually I wouldn't mind putting in a plug for one variant though as I see you are not averse to them.
Could you please,please, please, please do the Ju88A through G variant of the Harpoon. I mean its just a bit of a change to the nose, and fuselage, and wings, and tail and.....and the Do217M variant and the ....
Cheers

LOL Thanks Paul; I am on it!

Those are precisely the versions I'm angling for Paul.

So, Please, please, PLEASE Milton - be a good sport and give us this particular version of the Harpoon (a little advice: its ever so easy, just chop off whatever is 6 rivets forward of the leading edge and then just weld on a glass cone.
Lockheed Harpoon - Me 110 variant anyone?

He 111?? What the bloody heck is that? It doesn't look ANYTHING like a "Poon" and it has inline engines. Whatsa' Me 110, Nigel? Have you been hittin' the ouzo stash? I'm gonna have to tell Matt you've been rading the supply hangar again.:isadizzy:Aha!

Getcha eyes tested son, you've been looking at that red lit night panel far too long.
And in anycase, neither does a Lockheed lodestar look like a Lockheed Harpoon, not one incy wincy bit (I've seen photos of it).
Even them engines are kinda, well...different?
In fact, it is my considered opinion that a conversion of the Grumman Tracker to Lodestar would be more expedient.
For your information cleverclogs, the 110 was just a few minutes before the He He 111, only it was a me and not a he...
(Me got there first...just ask Paul 'padburgess').
The point is, it was commonly refered to in the Lufthansa Reserve as a 'Loooodestar' or sometimes 'Lodenstaren'!
And it only needs about 80 - 90 polys.
Oh! I'd better put this :USA-flag: somewhere for safekeeping too.

Did you mean Tuesday October 9th, or Tuesday October 16th.
sorry guys, been bed-ridden (still partially am) since Sunday evening... got a heck of a cold/flu going on, the cold/flu doesn't bug me but the headaches... oh man, borderline migrane...
will get it done at all costs, 48hr rush on it if i have to... and you know i ain't gonna take "rest up" as the answer, i'll be flat out

There is no rush to rush, no deadlines. Take care of yourself. Meanwhile there is much to do yet so rushing to the 10 yard line is not the end game. :-)
Don't rush to finish the project, rush to get some bed rest and get better. Your health is far more important than anything anyone will ever do in FS.sorry guys, been bed-ridden (still partially am) since Sunday evening... got a heck of a cold/flu going on, the cold/flu doesn't bug me but the headaches... oh man, borderline migrane...

Yes Matt, better do as Doctor Shupe and Doctor Sundog advise. Assistant Brouwer does advise you the same. Flu and migraine are no joke at all.
Hey Milton
On medical leave for staph infection (yeow!!...we'll talk sometime) I flew PV2's in the 70's for Gypsy Moth infestation spraying (USDA) I'm your man for test flying so send me the poop!...

Hey Pete, long time, no see. Great to see you here. Interesting to have 3 RW Dash 7 pilots on this forum. :-)
I'll be happy to include you in the testing, both the military variant and the tankers. Same for the Dash 7's. Hope your situation improves quickly.
Matt, are you okay? Have you conquered that bug?sorry guys, been bed-ridden (still partially am) since Sunday evening... got a heck of a cold/flu going on, the cold/flu doesn't bug me but the headaches... oh man, borderline migrane...

Ah yes, the "Z" does look doable. :salute:
Bumping this up from the bottom of page 2.
Any news?
Let Being Helpful Be More Important Than Being Right.
Matt is out of the country until November 17th so the textures are on hold.
Meanwhile, I have sent the the models and the UVW mapping texture templates to "ferondoe" to get a parallel texturing operation going.
Aside from that, I am working with Nigel on the Avia57, Mike Kelly on the Dash 7 variants cargo and interior goodies, and with Duckie on the XP47H model getting her ready for textures. Great progress on all fronts.
