A Lockheed "Rounder"

will be back in my paint Hangar in the early hours, trying to spread work out across several projects at once... hope to have the VC textures wrapped up before Tuesday....
 
I've read somewhere that the Lodestar and the Ventura both had the same wing. Was the Ventura MkII the solid nose version with the Martin turret? (same as that on the Harpoon) Milton, you already have some components on the Harpoon that can be used in building the Ventura.

Looking very much forward to the Harpoon.

Sure :)

From a modeling standpoint (and textures), practically everything about the MKII is different. Fuselage (though they say is basically the same, check cockpit windshield, side windows, overhead, bomb bay, and fuse tail) , wings (flaps, ailerons), engine cowlings and nacelles, tails, main gear, and then inside the cockpit is really different. To me, it is a whole new project; same with the Lodestar.

Not saying I will not do one or both, just understand it is not a clone of the Harpoon with different tails. In my view, everything is different.

Hi Milton

This is looking great. I am looking forward to this aircraft and will appreciate it as you release it. Not worried about the variants just want what you have done. A great addition and I am grateful for your s and other hard work.

Actually I wouldn't mind putting in a plug for one variant though as I see you are not averse to them.

Could you please,please, please, please do the Ju88A through G variant of the Harpoon. I mean its just a bit of a change to the nose, and fuselage, and wings, and tail and.....and the Do217M variant and the ....

Cheers
Paul

Aha!

I spy a kindred spirit!

Those are precisely the versions I'm angling for Paul.

So may I be outlandishly presumptuous and guess the, THE...
surely, it can be no other version of the Lockheed Harpoon than the..:jump:.

He 111...there, I've said it.

So, Please, please, PLEASE Milton - be a good sport and give us this particular version of the Harpoon (a little advice: its ever so easy, just chop off whatever is 6 rivets forward of the leading edge and then just weld on a glass cone.

:sheep:
Lockheed Harpoon - Me 110 variant anyone?

Oh heck guys, where'd yo'l go sa fast...

He 111?? What the bloody heck is that? It doesn't look ANYTHING like a "Poon" and it has inline engines. Whatsa' Me 110, Nigel? Have you been hittin' the ouzo stash? I'm gonna have to tell Matt you've been rading the supply hangar again.:isadizzy:


BB686 :greece::unitedkingdom::USA-flag: (And then there were THREE).

Does too!...spitt'n cott'n pickiin' image.:isadizzy:
Getcha eyes tested son, you've been looking at that red lit night panel far too long.

And in anycase, neither does a Lockheed lodestar look like a Lockheed Harpoon, not one incy wincy bit (I've seen photos of it).
Even them engines are kinda, well...different?

In fact, it is my considered opinion that a conversion of the Grumman Tracker to Lodestar would be more expedient.

For your information cleverclogs, the 110 was just a few minutes before the He He 111, only it was a me and not a he...
(Me got there first...just ask Paul 'padburgess').

The point is, it was commonly refered to in the Lufthansa Reserve as a 'Loooodestar' or sometimes 'Lodenstaren'!

And it only needs about 80 - 90 polys.:icon_lol:

Oh! I'd better put this :USA-flag: somewhere for safekeeping too.
 
sorry guys, been bed-ridden (still partially am) since Sunday evening... got a heck of a cold/flu going on, the cold/flu doesn't bug me but the headaches... oh man, borderline migrane...

Oh man; sorry to hear about that!

There is no rush to rush, no deadlines. Take care of yourself. Meanwhile there is much to do yet so rushing to the 10 yard line is not the end game. :)

Don't rush to finish the project, rush to get some bed rest and get better. Your health is far more important than anything anyone will ever do in FS.
 
Yes Matt, better do as Doctor Shupe and Doctor Sundog advise. Assistant Brouwer does advise you the same. Flu and migraine are no joke at all.
