Didn't see that one coming! Looks great and it will fill another coastal command gap nicely! I'm really going to have to get my PC fixed soon if I want to keep up with all the new planes being released lately!

Wow yes!! What a great surprise on a bleery eyed saturday morning! Looks great

I've always been fascinated by a few photos of them flying over Dunkirk and wanted to re-create scenes like this (Geckos done the smoke already)

And a fine midsummer to you, Steve! That's looking really good, but I hope you're enjoying the summer too!

This one wll be a great addition to CFS3 (ETO, MAW, RS, PTO...), she flew in all theaters in many air forces.

Thanks, what a surprise!

**FireStorm II** · June 22nd, 2013, 05:43

Oh, my!

That's one that's been missing from CFS3.
hmmmm, 9-cyl Wright R1820s.
(* some had PW R1830s)

Thanks so much!

On October 8, 1939, over Jutland, a Hudson became the first RAF aircraft to shoot down a German aircraft. (The first British aircraft to shoot down a German plane was a Skua of the Fleet Air Arm on 26 September 1939.) They operated as fighters during the Battle of Dunkirk. A PBO-1 Hudson of US Navy squadron VP-82 became the first US aircraft to destroy a German submarine when it sank U-656 southwest of Newfoundland on March 1, 1942. A Hudson of RCAF Bomber Reconnaissance Squadron 113 became the first aircraft of RCAF’s Eastern Air Command to sink a submarine, when Hudson 625 sank U-754 on July 31, 1942.

No, not available yet, Steve is working on the pit, which will need textures too, once he's done, so it will be a while yet. Trust me, it's worth the wait!:mixedsmi:

Crikey, the Hudson has been the big hole in the CFS3 CC collection. A fantastic aircraft and a great surprise-did you know its my birthday on Saturday!

Yes Jeff, we did try to get it all done for your birthday, but unfortunately the pit is taking longer than expected!

**sdsbolt** · June 23rd, 2013, 18:41

well its a fs2002/cfs2 conversion so I haven't been slaving away for too long. Leaves me time to enjoy my summer by digging up plants in one part of the yard and moving them too another.Of course there's a Mrs involvolved :violent:

thanx and happy Birthday :birthday2

as you know, its a long way off but the Beaufort is nearing the final stretch so hopefully that should fill some need for ya.

**gecko** · June 23rd, 2013, 20:49

We need a drool smiley...

Are these all to be Mk.III models, or will there be other variants? Great work in any case, excited for the Beaufort too!

**HouseHobbit** · June 23rd, 2013, 20:51

This is GREAT!!
Can't wait to build missions for this bird..

**BeauBrummie** · June 26th, 2013, 01:07

I'm sure the Hobbit and I can make some up for this great CC stalwart. :salute:

**sdsbolt** · July 4th, 2013, 05:04

replacing the old vc with a bit more detail.

only a mkIII at this point. Will be easy to convert to a mkI and II so I am sure we'll include those. Probably also a mkIV but there is a bit more work involved.
