I seem to recall someone wanting to see more of this livery, and since i was out doing a very lazy test flight and had nothing better to do while i waited to see if the nose rose or fell ( it didnt ), I snapped the first pic. The second pic, i took at Portland international.. I love the way you can see Mt hood reflected in the chrome..

Please remember, this is a beta version only. its still being developed on all sides.. For my end, i breathed wrong and lost my ability to spin so i havr to gain that back without changing anything else.. A real ffeat with this guy... But dont fret. It'll be flying as close as i can possibly get it to the real thing very soon now..

PS.. The pics have only been re-sized. nothing else was done to them...
 
That is one FINE looking aircraft. Can't wait to take 'er for a spin, and with what you've said of the dynamics, it should be a heck of a spin. ;)
 
This is some stunning artwork! You almost can feel the rivets on the second picture.

I think this will be a must-have!


Cheers,
Mark
 
oh it most certainly will be a heck of a spin... knowing Pam and her 'Tolerances' shall we say this'll be a real gem to fly...
 
Seems to use the same pilot model as the SBD...And seems to have the same odd double curvature of the right arm..or am I wrong??
The a/c model is impressive, very well done!

::roflmao:: Damn straight :::LOL::: and he doesnt complain during the flat spin tests that end up in the ground :::LOL::
works cheap too ...
God i love your reply.. what a great way to wake up..
 
Looking good - love the bare metal! I'm curious about the shape of the spine and rear glazing of the aircraft, however - by the first screenshot, it looks to suddenly dip downward, half-way through the rear glazing, straight to the antenna, where the angle changes again. Perhaps I am wrong, and it is just that screenshot throwing off the look.

The spine and the rear glazing 'should' feature a very subtle curving line, coming from the canopy to the tail. The rear glazing is a very sleek design in itself. Hopefully this might be something helpful to pass on to the modeler, if in fact any work needs to be done:
 
The model is to far gone now to correct additional modeling issues, that was the reason for canopy alterations and screenshot releases early doors.

there is quite a bit of camera perspective going on in those shots too, though i admit that there is a bend in the model.. What i cant quote on, is exactly which version of the P-36 the model was based on. Given its level of detail though, i'm sure it is accurate for at least one of them.. Sadly, three views blueprints nd engineering plans for separate versions of aircraft, are not always obtainable. sometimes we're lucky if we can get our paws on just one set for one version, and i think maybe ( no guarantee here now ) our modeller simply ran into that particular wall and had to work with what he had..
 
Photos like the one I posted, aren't actually all that bad to go off of, and there are many on the web - especially as it is the real thing, instead of an artist's concept, as most three-views are. I applaud anyone for doing the P-36, and I wish I wasn't as familiar with the real thing as I am, otherwise I wouldn't be so 'anal' about it. :d
 
i wanted to find out if what i was saying was true or if i was just expressing an educated guess.. SO, i took herup and got this pic.. She doesnt seem to be much different than the pic you posted ( though there is a little ) and it does appear that perspective and lens magnification were doing something weird around that bend in the spine.. but over all, i think wer got pretty close.. You guys tell me :) ..
Oh yeah.. the Pic has been heavily edited for color brightness contrast and size...

Oh and Bomber.. Your more than allowed to be anal about it.. We're doing our best to get it perfect, but even with such a simple plane, theres just so many things to be covered that sometimes we dont get to see the forest for the trees, and external knowledge and opinion is a major help...

The problem with using photos in designing these things is that you can only work on one elevation at a time.. side view, top view or front/back view and to build these, you need all three views in scale to create a box within which you can build the model.. Pics just simply dont work as most pics only cover one view, and are taken from angles that are not straight on.. that presents major problems with scaling and shape, so, at this point three views and if you can get them, blueprints, are the best modelers can hope for..
