Hi Folks,
Next in the line of Sunderlands....

Heading down the straight to upload.

[Shessi]

Getting there, glad you like it.

Again, please don't forget that the basic main model and the texs are down to the skilled and generous guys from CFS3, I'm just 'fiddling about' with them....:)

Cheers

Thank you Shessi for breathing new life into this wonderfull aircraft. Really looking foward to the Mark I.
(Which I will promptly try to port into FSX).

Shessi, thanks so much, this is going to be great.
Just a question, if I may...
I think I've lost track of your Sunderlands. Is it possible for you to give us links to the one's you have done?
Much appreciated.

P.S. Any clue to what's up your sleeve?

Great, an early war Sundy... soon for CFS2 - can't wait.:triumphant:

Here you go:

Search "Sunderland" in the search field, they're about 2/3rds down the page, both CFS2 and FS9 models by Shessi.

Thanks, I thought I had them all. All gems.

Man thats just art. Your repaint is beautiful. I cant wait to fly it. I love when some one posts a unique airplane like that and I have to go do some reading on it. Really interesting plane.

Just about finished...watch this space.

I'm doing two texs, one of the famous Coastal Command DA-G, that was used in a lot of promo shots, and the other the first Australian Sundy to sink a u-boat (with the RN!)..RB-H.

My "sticky post" glue really loves fresh threads for new releases! ;)

[Shessi]

Ha ha..I get the hint Tom...;)

Will do.

Hi Folks,

Finished and uploaded. Go get the oilskins on and get patrolling..;)

This is an early MkI Sunderland, made from my remodelled Sunderland MkIII, originally from the CFS3 mixed Mk Sunderland.

I did two textures one for a CC/RAAF ac RB-H, and a RAF/CC ac DA-G.

Cheers

Shessi

P.S. Many thanks again to Ted Nachtpiloten, Steve sdBolt and John Bravo4 for their initial skill and generosity, which it wouldn't be here without them!

[SPman]

Lovely. Well done and thank you.

Just looking through the files and young Shessi has contributed even more than I had realised - particularly lesser covered types - thank you again.

[Shessi]

Thanks JJ and SPM,

Ha ha..I've been about for quite some time...so that's good to be refered to as 'young'..;)

Folks, do we need/want a late MkIIIa with later under wing radar pods, and gun set-up, I'm not doing a MkV. As nearly 85% made were MkIII Sunderlands and that's been done.......thoughts?

Cheers

Shessi

[jamminjames]

Any project you do will be welcomed.....

Great new, thank you Shessi!

Shessi

Was a MkV basically a MkIII with P&Ws ?

[Shessi]

Yes that's right, with Mk3/4 radar, and usually without a top turret. No major fuselage or layout changes.

Could you do a Civilian version??

[Shessi]

Hi Nathan,
I could but that would mean making a P&W engined civvy plane, so I might as well do a MkV, which I'm not going to bother.....sorry.

Jens B. Kristensen did a great Hythe civvy Sunderland for Fs9, go get it at Simviation..it's very good.

Cheers

One last bump as I scrape the glue off...

Ah poor old, 'Beachcomber', ;at Kermit Weeks place. Was in a sorry state when I last saw it compared to when it left uk.

[Shessi]

Yes I agree..shame...:(

A Catalina is being refurbed at Biggin Hill, UK and will come out in a Canadian sqn Coastal Command colours and in full wartime set-up, which I'm really looking forward to. BUT please a wealthy Sundy fan buy Week's one and put back in the air!

I think eventually though Week's one will be put in a museum, as is, as I think there is only one or possibly two others in US museums.

Shessi

Last flight in the UK as it leaves for the US.

Was there for that. In one of the many small boats.

Catalina at Biggin has gone via road/sea to new owner in USA, if you're thinking about same one that had a ferry flight in there after being inactive for a long while.
