Thank you once again, Doumet!

I've done it again, haven't I. Skipped this page to post my last missed page, lol. Went off and redrew logo when this one was sitting right here, lol. That'll teach me.

Many thanks Oléboy, Nice find.

heres the latest images showing off the new metal and the kind of detail i'm cranking into it, and yes.... these are FS9 1024*1024 maps in use not 2048's, just adding some tonal variations in, and then it's onto other surfaces... then finally finalise the paint....

well, heres the first sim shots of the new metal fuselage, metal effect was hand drawn and not taken from photos so i'm kinda pleased with the way it has turned out.... shows the difference between old metal i used (on the wings, struts and wing 'pods' ) and the new metal on the Fuselage and Fin....

It will port to FSX as I fly it there already.

If anyone wishes to convert it to native, the gmax source will be available.

The flight model is sweet already, although its still a WIP, she will be a nice hand-flying machine.

Thanks Matt. I am looking forward to a paint scheme more acceptable than teh template based scheme.

It's getting a bit "long in the tooth".

I've got one just like that...

How can we seriously put down at any respectable airport, stark naked?
Milton's more daring than me...

I've been going round in circles, left up here for...weeks?
Need a shave too.
