My pleasure

There are three aircraft in the package - G-ACEJ, G-ADHA & G-AOJH representing the three main canopy types.
As usual, the aircraft is built for FS9 but I'm informed will perform in FSX as well.
Cheers

Bravo for those three canopy types David! Opens up lots of repaint possibilities.

Bugger - Flightsim seems to be unavailable. Are they open cockpit, British "Speed Moth" canopy and Canadian bubble canopy.

Helped a guy build 5 new Fox Moth fuselages, 30 yrs ago, so have an interest in the old girl....

Have started on a few Fox Moth paints - who can resist de Havilland?!

Nice repaint, Peter!

Might I make a request for a US Civil repaint with an NC-number on the tail? I just thought of a great scenario for the Fox Moth
as a fictional US Mail plane, imported from the UK by a wealthy benefactor for use covering the Great Plains of the US...

Appreciate the work you're doing for an awesome freeware airplane!

Hi Good People,

Edward just sent me a quick request to present a larger picture of the one he posted

So here it is - Edwards is planning a lot of liveries for this girl to be released in the new year - have done my test liveries and these are the results of my tinkering.

Regards

Mr. Watkins has uploaded G-ACCB at flightsim.com, i wonder what are chances of seeing some Kiwi Fox Moths?

Hi SPman, Thank you for your contributions on the model mate - we at the Ford Project appreciate the effort and hopefully our livery developments will do your hard work justice.

On the model - no, not I - it was on the real thing.

**GarryJSmith** · November 17th, 2014, 17:14

No Worries - just my FS focus

- but Wow - that would have been even more fun - to be working on a genuine historical aircraft

Looks good!

I was considering doing a ZK-APT repaint as well - I see someone has beaten me to it! Is ZK-ADI going to be done as well?

Got a ZK-APT and i love it. Too bad britsim is down, i had few, of Mr. Watkins Aussie skins for my Austers before my HD failed, but never had a passion for this part of the world, now when i discovered it the precious treasure chest is down

. Still i have a new bird with a new fresh paint and it will provide me with "few" months of fun, both learning about it and flying it
