Well after completing the engine and doing final reviews and checks, I realized there were some length and proportion issues with the cowling and center sections and oil cooler so I had to revisit all that. Now with everything to my liking, I have begun texturing the 60 parts that make up the engine assembly. Once that is done, I can clone and mirror the parts for the starboard engine.

................. words fail me as to how good that looks!

After a few days of disrupted work, and me being nitpicky, I have both engines now where I need them to be, including the gear, nacelles, intakes, exhaust and cowl flaps, about 64 parts each.
Now I want to get back to the cockpit window frames and flesh that out really well.

The Howard was nice for 2003-04 when we built it but hopefully I have improved a little to make these aircraft even nicer.Bravo Milton!

Looking great Milton.
One small item, don’t know if the Harpoon was the same, but on the Lodestar the engine nacelle bit that was attached to the flaps was closed at the front so it didn’t look like a ‘scoop’.
Merry Christmas.

Andre, yes, I remember seeing that now that you have mentioned it. Will correct.Looking great Milton.

I have only just come across this thread as I only fly in FSX these days. Would be nice to see a native FSX model as well. The RAAF used both Lodestars and Venturas during WWII so would be nice if I could get one on them.
Will keep checking in here now to watch progress.

Willy,
Is there any chance of a link to that handbook. Looked in the Warbirds Library but cannot find it.

Awesome looking work Milton! Merry Christmas!
What do we want here in terms of equipment? Original equipment for full military readiness?
I assume turret, belly guns, observation glass, wing hardpoints, bomb bay doors, and nose mounted guns.
I need input before proceeding.
