The extra liveries will not be available on release day but shortly thereafter as a separate package. (and it is possible we may charge for them...)
 
Speaking of Canada...

Well, we translated the American stencils into English for the Canadian birds... :salute:

Little 'inside' joke about the Portugese Colin; there's an F-86 in the museum where Vinflyer works , which is painted like the a Wolfhounds Sabre, but in it's previous life it belonged to the Portugese airforce. Now after years of standing outside in the Dutch climate the original Portugese markings are showing through, and some of the markings have never been painted over so some of the warning signs are in a somewhat strange language for a USAFE bird!

Edit: Here's two photos:

Definitely seen better days....

As a matter of fact, Bone went to visit the museum in Soesterberg. He brought back a lot reference material which we used for our paint. And we decided to translate the Portuguese stencils :icon_lol:

Does she fly as nice as she looks? :icon_eek:

I sure hope we don't have to wait much longer, though the wait isn't so bad with these beautiful screenies. :mixedsmi:
 
Bernt has done the FDE and all the pilots love it. It's not exactly hard but it's not easy either... The T-38 is tough in the pattern but nice everywhere else... this is just a bit tough everywhere...

Now it would be interesting to see , Simulation Versus Painting , this a print from the book 'AIRCRAFT MARKINGS OF THE WORLD 1912-1967

Something tells me you are not done with the pilot figure. :icon_lol: Here he is in the Section 8 F86. Seems more in porportion to the aircraft.

Hi

Yellow lettering into black rectangle:
1-Open door and pull cable to unblock (or unlock) cover (canopy)
2-Open handle door (or cover) on cabin cover (canopy) and push back.

The big yellow arrow says "salvamento" wich means rescue....

Regards
 
Sorry, but without meaning to be rude, tactless or undiplomatic, I am going to stop this right now:

1) the price is 34.99 and, if you buy it from our site, you can return it, no questions asked, within 30 days for a FULL refund.
2) the pilot is a relative 6 feet tall and is just fine where he is. Please remember, there are short and tall people in the world. (check real pics for size please)
3) he is wearing the correct colors and clothing for his day.
4) The plane, we believe, flies like a Sabre.
5) the left tail fin has 86 rivets and that is the correct number for the left tail fin.
6) it is our intention to arm this plane once (if) Tacpack for devs is ever released.
7) though I/we expect the comparisons to be endless, no further comments will be made on those comparisons by any MV team member. So feel free to make them and to make your own comparisons... we will, again, not be making any comments.

Thanks for your attention.
