SOLD . Thank you . There are some beautiful vintage models from Miles . Maybe more to come ? !...looking great.
 
Very nice and one I'll just have own!
Kudos for treading a different path to the usual suspects Baz!
:triumphant:
 
My freeware one does both versions of the Speed six although not FSX native it will portover .....(sorry blowing own trumpet). Originally released at Britsim (no longer available after their crash,) but still available at Flightsim.

May just have to take the plunge and install my FSX Steamboat edition and get this one, love a Miles kite. Uninstalled FSXGold a while back to installSteam version then computer suddenly died, packed it away, proceeded to move house, couple of months down the line unpacked to fix said machine, lo-and-behold, started first time :dizzy: go figure.

She's looking mighty fine Barry.

Jamie.

PS. Thanks for yours to Kieth, can't go wrong with a Miles Bros.
 
Once I get over this "between jobs" phase, I may just go on a binge and just get all the Aeroplane Heaven products on my wish list that I've been holding out on :mixed-smiley-010:
 
Working nicely on Steam Edition.:engel016:

Keith your models were really lovely and they were a frequent ride in FS9 and I really would like to thank you once more for doing them. But I'm afraid I won't fly them anymore once I have purchased this piece of art.

This new model looks absolutely stunning Bazz and thank you for doing a model outside the main stream (does that sentence make any sense?).

Cheers,
Huub
 
Huub, Thanks for your comment, much appreciated & I can understand wanting to use a later rendition. My model is now quite old (6 years) & lots of improvements in the software & capability have been made. I wish it well as it is in my families history, being owned by my uncle in the 50' & 60's.
Keith
 
Thanks Keith for bringing the Miles birds to life! Without your interest and dedication some of us [like this correspondent] would never have learned about these gorgeous racing planes. :encouragement:

AH, that speed six looks to be a winnnnah!
 
Just before we release this I would like to point out that this aeroplane has had several different guises in its life. We have chosen to portray it with a certain amount of "artistic" license as it is nigh impossible to settle on any one particular stage in the aircraft's history. It had a bubble canopy at one time, longer wings, all over cream paint and many other differences including a change in dihedral. We have tried to capture the spirit of 30's racing, not produce an exact replica of the aircraft in its current state. Yes she does have a basic radio stack, in order that those who wish can do basic IFR work, just for fun. Personally I hate the look of the modern miniature radios so have opted for a more sympathetic look, better balanced, in my opinion with the style of the aircraft. There's an RMI and a VOR fitted too, obviously. Both of which she never had back in the day. So please accept her for what she is - our take on classic racing from the '30s with a dash of modern convenience. Above all, she's just for fun. And that my friends is surely what this hobby is all about.:engel016:
 
Thanks for that Bazzar:encouragement: For my part.. I'm willing to accept a little artistic license and as long as what's there works.. it'll do for me;) VM looking forward to having one in my hangar:very_drunk:
