I know, I should clean out all the things I still have to upload.....

Did you happen to notice, one of them is the late Dave Booker? (Aka DaveB)

When my memory is still correct late Dave Booker is the one with the beard.

The De Havilland Dragon Rapide G-ADBW c/n 6288, as used by Airworks's No.6 Air Observers Navigation School at Staverton in June 1940, showing a combination of civil and military markings that were typical of civil aircraft employed on Type 'A' Civil contracts during 1939/40.

Mav, are you after trying to rasom them......not to drop them...

Of course if you were really clever, you'd put them on a tailhook or spoiler key and move them in or out when required....just sayin' like..

Always liked the look of F86's in RAF service We only had them for 2 or 3 years while we waited for the Hunter. This is Kirk Olssons model with a Frank Safranek paint, there's a few by Hans Janssens also

There are also four packs of repaints from Andy Nott which basically cover all the RAF squadrons. The beauty of Kirk Olsson's Sabre is that he gave us both slatted and hard wing versions, opened up all sorts of options; with these models, and those from Section8, we are more than well served in the Sabre department.

Section F8 did do a hardwing version (beta model); its around.... not many paints for it though; mapping is slightly different to the slatted one around the tail.

Another that doesn't seem to get a lot of love; the Warbirdsim P-51B/C

Well actually it is one of the models I consider the very best ever made for FS2004!

I did two repaints for this model, both based on the same book....

I don't really know why, but the Avro Anson by Dave Garwood is one of my long time favourite models. Perhaps it is the crew, which is very nicely modelled and tells you a story. There is one thing I don't really like about this model, which are the colours. Especially the almost terracotta brown for the dark earth has often been one of the reasons for me to leave this model in the virtual. Years ago I tried to repaint the model, but I didn't have the skills to do it.

Although I still don't really have the skills, I now do have enough experience to do create a simple paintkit, and to create new textures closer to the colours I normally use for the standard early RAF land scheme.

It is an Anson from 321 (Dutch) squadron RAF which was formed from personnel of the Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service, who had escaped to the UK after the German invasion of the Netherlands. Together with 320 Dutch squadron they flew flew coastal and anti-submarine patrols with Avro Ansons from July 1940 until January 1941.







Is there somebody who can repair the head lamp?

Oh bull hockey.
You had me sold with the Wolfhound's F-4E.

How many years ago was that?

Huub, sign me up for an Anson download, looks great. What is the headlight issue, btw?

The floodlight in the nose is missing.



Compare with the real thing....




Strange enough the texture "noselight1.bmp" is in the texture folder. But even without the flood light it remains a great model.

According to scasm source... it's missing the material list...

Is that something which can be solved? Or only when you have the source code?

Sure.... just learn gmax or scasm coding, to add the needed bgl.

So perhaps in one-and-a-half year when I intend to retire

A little reworking of one of the paints that comes with the Warbirdsim P51 ; and you get OC 133 (Polish) Wing, RAF, personal mount, as pictured at Coolham on wiki

Stanisław Skalski, DSO, DFC & Two Bars (27 November 1915 – 12 November 2004) was a Polish aviator and fighter ace who served with the Polish Air Force and British Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Skalski was the top Polish fighter ace of the war and chronologically the first Allied fighter ace of the war,^[1] credited, according to the Bajan's list, with 18 ¹¹/₁₂ victories and two probable. Some sources, including Skalski himself, give a number of 22 ¹¹/₁₂ victories.

He returned to Poland after the war but was imprisoned by the communist authorities under the pretext that he was a spy for Great Britain. While in arrest he was tortured and then, in a show trial, sentenced to death on April 7, 1950. Skalski refused to ask for clemency but after his mother's intervention with the president of communist Poland, Boleslaw Bierut, his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. He remained in prison until 1956 when a court overturned the previous verdict. After the "Polish October" and subsequent liberalization and end of Stalinist terror, he was rehabilitated and rejoined the Polish armed forces. In 1972 he was moved to inactive service and in 1988, on the cusp of fall of communism in Poland he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general.

Huub, from what I understand/guestimate/etc from pictures and diagrams of Annie is that the nose light was either removable or folded to leave a small circular window, there are photo's I have seen with just a small window in the nose.

After a quick schmooze around, I noticed that the photos of REAL aircraft with the light in the nose do not seem to have them in the port wing. Those that do have the wing lights have the window. There are also a good few interior shots showing the nose as a window. mmmmm. The lights in the wings do have a texture applied.

[mav]

Landing lights in wings still need too be taken out....

Thanks for the additions Jamie.

And Mav, I think it makes the model look better. Don't you agree?
