Next from AH: Republic P-47D Thunderbolt

I see someone else has flagged up the incorrect canopy on the AH FB page, but AH seem to disagree with the observation!

Interesting that they claim that they used original factory drawings, yet the canopy bares no resemblance to that in the ones that John posted earlier, and indeed what my eyes see in the pictures as well.

(They did the same thing with the Typhoon canopy also).

Whilst it my seem like nitpicking to some, it is a valid piece of constructive criticism, which will only enhance the appearance of what looks like an otherwise accurate and well modelled P-47D-25.

Cheers

Good info here, folks! Thanks for sharing! The P-47, like the British Typhoon were two planes that looked like they were meant to "take care of business"; and you did not want to be on the business end!
Looking forward to this release.
 
I get the feeling that AH is going to be getting a lot of my money over the next few months with all these projects. The screenshots look excellent, and I'm interested by the post war photos of P-47s; repaints galore!

If it could be released today that would be great. Otherwise, please wait for next payday!

It's just gone into beta test so fingers crossed and all that...:engel016:

Guess my New Year Resolution has to be to actually get Boxted done then...

No point me even trying to volunteer for beta teams any more, unfortunately. What little physical health I had left has flown South for the winter. :(

I wonder what the definition of "long time in beta" actually is. When a project enters beta, one is entirely in the hands of the beta testers. If a tester falls ill, goes on holdiay, has equipment problems or whatever, there is nothing to be done but wait. As any dev will tell you, lengthy and involved discussion can also evolve and slow things down. That's beta testing. It can take months. Thankfully we can multi-task...:engel016:
 
Maybe this will explain things a little better... :biggrin-new:

I see the P-47 along with the Javelin and Lanc are still "in development" on the JF site. Looking forward to all of them.
 
We currently have 7 projects on the go at the moment. They vary in size and complexity so obviously, will have markedly different completion times. In this business, you learn to multi-task very quickly! BTW the Lancaster is not on the JF in-development page. It may have two less engines but the Caravelle is just about as huge a project as the VC10. If anybody has studied the mechanics of the nose gear, for example, they will know what I mean. Boxcar is a breeze compared to that one. Still, they're all fun. :engel016:
 
I don't suppose you can confirm whether you got my "Whoops, I goofed" e-mail about the bubble-top P-47 did you Bazzar? It's not exactly important, but I'd like to do something if I can.

Cheers,

Ian P.
 
Sorry Ian, I did get it but I have been somehwat tied up with personal matters and haven't got around to it yet. Will do though.:engel016:
