Thanks for the comments; greatly appreciated. :-)

My thanks go out to Rachael (Firekitten), Manecas (Rui Cristina), Nigel, Wellis, and Roman Stoviak who invested so much time in these products.

And of course, all of the folks who kept the faith in the FS9 thread as we coerced this to the finish line.

Thank you so much, girl and guys! What a lovely wee plane. She handles great and gruntles like one may expect from a Nigel-(re)produced P&W R-1340. Such a joy!

Cheers,
Maarten

Definitely a very nice plane for cruising around in. Flying over the shorelines along eastern Australia, the Mallard really has them turning their heads. A real eye-popper and well worth the wait.

Hats off to you, Milton, and your gallant team for your efforts. Much appreciated.

And of course, I just HAD to start playing around with the paint scheme etc.

Based on the 1024 file it's not as crisp as it could be, but now that I like what I see, I will, time permitting, most likely redo it on the 2048 files to clean it up a bit.

so... my take on South Pacific Airways. I've also done it in blues, but the grays look so darn classy! Especially on the Classic model with the executive interior.

cheers, and thank you again Milton!

Thank you David; that's a great looking paint scheme. I'm with you; love the colors.

Ended up with the afternoon free after trimming the hedge and cutting lawn, so have finished redoing the fuselage... it's all cleaned up and looks much better!!! This higher resolution 'from scratch' texture got rid of all the white 'ghosting' surrounding the greys.

Next step is the wings! but wife home now.. so....

Once I get them finished, I'll send them to you. I STILL have to rename everything on my laptop to add airplanes, so am not sure if any text I include in a read me to add to an airplane config will work for others. I got lucky with the A-26! :-)

I've been working on airplane #2 for my fleet, and have started on a maroon and gold trimmed 'airliner' version. Reg is tentatively N733G, but other nationalities will be options!

Fuselage is striped but no registration yet, and some details to fill in. Wings not yet touched, so just plain white so far, trim ideas ongoing. Cabin has been re-upholstered.

I have done two fuselage bmp's, one with a white upper nose, the other with a more 'classic' dark one to match the main trim colour. Alpha channels reworked to give more reflective shine to the maroon and gold.

Hope you like it, and once done, it will be uploaded.

some in progress images, and now.. off to do some South Pacific flying!

cheerio!
