    Wow! Marcel, that is looking soooooo sweet! Great job on the doors; exactly like my pictures there.
    EDIT: I really like the red on the door edges, and the black treatment around the cabin windows too.

    By the way, I have mapped many of the miscellaneous items, like the TWA housing, antennas, gear parts, etc. for individual texturing. Will send the model and template today.

    Loving your work Sir

    Sadly, I can only watch as the Grumman Tracker Project comes along in its development. 'Bout the only thing I can do is fly them, once they are finished. Enjoying slow flights and sight-seeing in the AT-11, chasing Cessna's down in the Tigercat, fishing trips and bush flying in the D-18 Float Plane, and long lofty commutes from Townsville to Cairns in the Howard.

    Thanks Milton!

    LOL I know BB; it is addictive to drive that thing. And, if you think that one is fast (I actually slowed it down a bunch), the Top Fuel Dragster (haven't released yet) is much faster. It will do 430MPH in 1/4 mile.

    I find I like KDFW for a lot of wide open spaces in and around the airport, plus fencing. And, if you wish, you can jump off onto the dual highway and weave in and out of traffic and have them eat your dust.

    BTW, you did not mention the DH-80A, a sweet and fun aircraft. If you haven't tried it, it's here in teh library, or go to my website to download it. Use the link in my signature.

    Hi Marcel,

    The repaint looks absolutely fabulous. The only correction, if I may: shouldn't the word in the red band behind the cockpit be spelled "propeller"?

    Cheers,
    Maarten

    Not sure, but VR-24 used nose numbers (modex numbers) in the 40's. The tailcode is JM. I've attached a picture of a squadron mate. I'll keep looking.

    Dave

    BTW: The textures are lookin' good!

    Edit: Added note, When attached to a squadron or Air Station they usually had the last 3 digits of the serial on the nose or a 2 digit number. When attached to a carrier they had either a 700 series nose number, a variation of the ships number or a double/triple zero number.

    Wow! That's coming along great! Keep after it

    BTW, Not sure those wing antennas are mapped so that you can split the paint work on the wings. I will look at that.

    Hi Milt,

    I started working on the ceiling and flooring textures... I see you sent me some textures to work on...
    These are prelims because I did them before you sent the texture maps... will correct as necessary

    One small detail... all the US aircraft use SAE (Standard American English) words... Words like
    Propellor... are good English... but in the States we spell it: PROPELLER...
    so the red warning band needs to be changed... should not be a big deal...
    Canadian and Brit versions are OK with Oxford or other English spelling...

    Not to mention one heck of project manager on top of all the design, engineering and art skills.:salute:
    Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
