I have been trying out various texture sets and these screens were made using the REX Real Environment Overdrive....So far i am liking the sets that can be generated from this program....

My "Ware Armitage Type 3" flying boat in the service of His Majesty's Royal Mail on a run to the Shetland Islands. Okay.. okay.. so its a VERY extensive repaint (using my own paint kit) of Craig Richardson's beautiful little Lohner S.... with just one pilot figure. :-)

We always here about Rolling Thunder...Linebacker...

We see the videos of B-52 attacks, the tactical close air support, and the duels with the Migs and so on, but do we remember those boys who kept everyone with beans, bacon and bullets? Got to love those men who had the balls to fly tactical airlift missions while taking fire...


Fairchild C-123 Provider could bring in supplies and so on unimproved fields of around 3,000ft or less...The UC-123 was also used in the spraying of 'Agent Orange' defoliant. The Provider was one of the few planes that could get into Khe Sanh during the siege to drop off supplies and fly out wounded.


de Havilland Canada C-7 Caribou was also instrumental in lifting the siege of Khe Sanh, but its main use, along with the US Army CV-2 variant, was used to supply forward Special Forces bases where landing strips were improvised and only around 1,500ft.


Lockheed C-130 Hercules was the workhorse of Tactical Airlift in Vietnam...

I wonder if the USAF could conduct the same types of operations today with its present inventory of stretched C-130J Hercules and C-17 Globemaster III machines...I don't think so...!!!

Not too forget our rotary friends.

What Huey is that one and where can i get the nice dress it is in?

What Huey is that one and where can i get the nice dress it is in?

The model is the Deane Baunton's RNZAF Huey, and the gunship is his US Army model both very long in the tooth but still the best Huey's out there in my opinion. You should find them over at hovercontrol.com.
The textures start here in the file library http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...=27434&page=11
I did 19 paint schemes for it in total.

And then there are the scouts.

[PhantomTweak]

It's the Killer Egg!

I actually heard a LOACH pilot call them that once.
Cracked up everyone in hearing. He just smiled and went to meet the chopper that was landing's pilot...

Great shots, though. Those rotor-head's were another critical part of trying to keep our guys alive. Tac-Air, the rotor-heads, the loggies, everything usually meshed so well...
Tet was an exception.

The Bell UH-1C "Huey Gunship"(. Once the larger and more powerful models of the Huey entered service the short bodied birds were converted to gunships that were used for escort of the 'Slicks' and for close support of ground troops.

I started flying the big beast again, and after a few flights with my overall grey 'unmarked' Herk, I decided I wanted something different than military, or gray... and well.. the civilian schemes I've found online were not doing it for me. Dave Sweetman had done the Transamerica turquoise blue and polished aluminium scheme a long time ago.. and doena damn fine job on it! I had it, but it had been languishing as the colours REALLY didn't do it for me....

It was a nice layout, but I didn't want an American bird either .. (being Canadian and all.. LOL) and well.. at this point, my wife walked in the room in a burgundy wine blouse...while I still had Dave's old TAL airplane on the screen........yup.. this was do-able.. LOL

A few hours in Photoshop.. and there we have her.. Same basic layout for the colour bits, just a bit different.
Thanks for doing al the hard bits DAX... you certainly made my job a lot easier!

Cheers
Dave

Interesting paint on that Herc, Bushi. You know, I have the CS C-130 Pro Pack, including the "Juliet"... seeing this pic has prompted me to dust off those planes and get them flying again.

Thanks.. I cleaned her up a bit today.. added a couple of little things..

I'll pop into my 'hangar' see what strikes my fancy, and re-acquaint myself with an airplane. And more often than not.. this leads to some 'creativity' in Photoshop. It's therapy!

Thanks btw for that.. Can't wait

[Cowboy1968]

I enjoy flying the stuff from the 60's, but sometimes they just don't move me as well as a nice prop does, so I walked out to the barn, kicked the dust off the tires and climbed into a great classic!!!

Where else can you see this view Arizona, from 30,000 feet

[huub vink]

Which B-29 is this? Gnoopy's or the WOP one? And definitely an interesting repaint.
