This is my 100th model contribution, kind of a milestone for me. Hope you all enjoy it.

Hello Captain! This is certainly a wonderful surprise! Thank you very much!

Kurt,

Thanks for the great Kate.Are you going to do one from each IJN Carrier?If you do I may redo some of the Pearl Harbor missions.

I already have the ships by Stuart in and have touched up 1 mission.I'm going to test this plane in 1 mission.

Just took it up for a quick flight, looks amazing. The detail you poor into your A/C is terrific. I really like the cockpit views with the pilot figures, they look great; as well as the load outs. Thank you for sharing another great work of yours.

I updated one of the Pearl missions using the new Kate.I also made a level bomber out of it.The torpedo attack worked well and the level bomber hit it's targets.So I actually have 2 Kates that do their job.

I would be very inerested for you to remake all of Talon's PHP missions with the new models now available - including this one. If you will definitely take that on, I will paint the models for you. This will be an October start I assume, as I know you will be going to New York shortly.

Let me know if it's a go, and thanks

Kurt,

I'm in New Jersey now and will not be going to the 9/11 Memorial.I made this decision because of all the BS going on there which cause safety concerns.NYC is not the NYC I knew,it has changed so much under their new mayor and I'm not risking my or my daughter's safety.

Thank you Captain for this great addition to my IJN hangar. I shall make good use of her!

 

[normb]

Congratulations on reaching the 100 aircraft total! Really outstanding and lots and lots of work.
Again, thanks for sharing all the goodies!

 

[Fibber]

Hiede; VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY wise choice. It really has become a hellhole. Take that from someone who lives here in NYstan. I worked for NY city for three decades and worked up close and personal and never remember it being as bad. Even in the '60 and 70's. I only go in to see my specialist docs. and then it is in and out fast !

Thank you for another great airplane, Kurt! Congratulations on reaching the 100!

 

[ElsnerMarkus]

Nice work,

That's weird—my CFS 2 crashes when I select the plane and try to start a test flight.

All the other planes work fine.

You are probably running Win7, 8, 10 or 11? If so, then it is the panel. I simply included a panel from Alphsim which uses a 1024 x 768 bitmap which the current Windows versions don't like and will CTD.

Open the panel.cfg file and in the [Window00] section change the line 'render_3dD_window='1 to 'render_3dD_window=0'

That is supposed to work. Try it and let me know if it did.

Congratulations and well done Kurt! Thanks very much for all the great aircraft you've built over the years.
