Hi,
A big bouncy landing coming up for this beauty, but at the moment everything looks like it's going to work out fine
Andy
From CalClassic and Thank You to them for all their wonderful models
Had a bit of repaint fun on the previous Harpoon WIP...
Sight-seeing over Cornwall...
Having a bit of fun with the textures on Bill's old Goose.
Let the new season commence!
Repaint of the Iris Hawk T.1/A 2015 Red Arrows livery...
I've always avoided tubeliners, preferring the low and slow approach to things, until I came upon this today....
Must say, given its age, it's a brilliant model. Now I just need to find out how to fly it (too many knobs and dials... NO PROPELLERS!) ...

I am repainting several P-36C / Hawk-75. Yes it is the same model than the Duxford-based H-75, it is repainted with Battle of France french camo
The model I use is available here at SOH, have a look at the CFS 2 Aircraft - 1% Aircraft section, filename : 1US_P-36C Curtiss Hawk.zip
It was designed for CFS/fs2002 but works well in fs9.
Hi,
Here's another shot of the CalClassic beauty, coming in for another dodgy landing, luckily out of shot
Andy
How was it to get rid of this 2nd image, please refresh my tiny brain. Thank you.
Hmmm... I didn't think CalClassics had a military variant of the 377. I didn't see one on their website anyhow.

Hi,
The file is CCL-B377NWA, not from CalClassic itself, but probably Flightsim or Avsim and is by Wayne Tudor. Many Thanks to him for this.
Andy.
Grasshopper, I shall lend you my spectacles...it is difficult to see where there is no picture.... go here .... ---> http://www.calclassic.com/b377.htm
Paint kit for GMAX B377 by Greg Pepper (13MB) or as modified by Dave McQueen (8.5 MB). Contains layered PSD files (usable in both Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro) which allow you to place your paint scheme between the bare metal layers and the windows and doors. Makes for fast painting! Greg's is based on a KC-97, Dave's is true bare metal with a layer for each type of airline window arrangement. Note: there are no instructions in the files; follow the detailed instructions in my PSP Repainting Tutorial. Exhaust flames and Startup flames/smoke Package by Wayne Tudor available! Not needed for the UAL Base Pack or Update Pack.

Hey Pete --
I got it. The last time I had visited CalClassics was to obtain the Lockheed L1649 Starliner, a plane which is still flown to this day, after being installed some 3 years ago. SO it's been a while since I was over at that site. I grabbed all of the parts for the C-97 and KC-97 versions as well as the UAL Boeing 377 and the update pack.
Thanks for the detailed information tho. Much appreciated. Hell, I'm flying the Super G and the Starliner in MATS livery, why not a 377 as well?

Meanwhile, back at sea..... playing with these new paints I found on Flightsim.com for the FsFrance E2-C.

I've been flying the CalClassic C-46 a lot lately and decided I needed something a bit different in the way paint schemes.... one thing led to another and the next thing I knew, I had opened a C-46 paint shop in a nearby hanger. Most of the "real" civil paint schemes for the C-46 have already been done and unless I really don't like the existing paint, I won't redo it. So, some "what if" paints for it:
First I did a Southern Airways paint from the '60s
Then I moved on to the railroad (Santa Fe did have a short lived air freight operation in the late 40s)
And the latest one I've completed, Western
There's some more in the hanger being worked on including a couple of "real" paints that somehow got missed by the real repaint guys. A Mohawk Gas Light Service is near completion (after a major disaster with it this morning and a total rework on the fuselage). Plus a few more that have been started.
Let Being Helpful Be More Important Than Being Right.
Nice stuff Willy
Love the Western livery.
Pete.
