Instead of Harpies, it's "Cry A-20 Havoc and let slip the Dogs of War!"
Regarding the Tutorial, if something is unclear, let me know. The result at the moment is full of bleeds. I believe it is about to get another major re-arranging of pieces. Are you hinting about another tutorial???
The B-26 is one I have wanted for a while.

ah jeez, that isn't what i meant at all.
but now that you mention it....ahhhooooo
a B-26 would be great,
as would any twin.
but as you've said before,
multis and limited resources=problems
actually, i was hinting at another tutorial,
but i was just encouraging the Stuka comment.

I am having a monster fight with the Veltro at the moment. I spent a couple hours on it last night and am not quite done with the re-arranging yet. I should have picked the Raiden for a tutorial instead. I also installed another Macchi C.205 last night that wasn't bad.
Regarding big twins, I want one finished also but there are too many things going on at the moment. Anyone ever look seriously at the Ki-46 Dinah? That was another hot bird besides the He 219 and Ju-88. As you can probably tell already, I have a great preference for high performance stuff. The Mosquito is an exception because everyone has already built one.
The Stuka is on my build list but isn't high. I already have an unfinished dive bomber that moves pretty well: The SBD-3.

Yes, I got it twice. Thanks to both of you!
I poked around at it a bit.
BTW, No Dice, you have a very nice Veltro on your site already:

There are a bunch of things I would do differently, but this is still a very nice model.

Ivan,
I agree with you, the 2.5 posted is really a beauty, BUT yours gets to go into the Ivan Collection and nothing can compete with that.
Hopefully most people notice that I am quite particular on what gets posted and what does not on the Free Flight Site. It is intended for the collector, the garbage is still out there on the other sites for anyone that wants to spend the time weeding it out.

after spending the weekend
figuring out how to open the stuka,
(actually, Ivan showed me)
i'll take the Lysander just for a look see.
although, i do have a very nice one by James Elwood.
by the way, to say the least,
the stuka leaves something to be desired,
but maybe useful in a project
i've had in mind for a few years now.

How about this one?

Why not a B? More representative of the "golden Age" of the Stuka...
Hi Hubbabubba,
I was thinking more along the lines of something like this:

Careful though. This image is heavy. I even found the book that this came from (published by Kagero in their Monografie series). It doesn't have a D model drawing.
I like building the best version of an aircraft and the D is the better version. There already are a couple B models out that are quite reasonable.

Junkers Jumo 211J-1
1420 HP @ 2600 RPM 1.35 ATA
I believe the prop is 3.3 meters diameter.
D-1 through D-3 used the same wing as the B series.
The D-5 had a longer wing which I believe comes to a sharper point at the tip.
I am still trying to figure out which of the D models was the best. If I were to build one, it would have the dive brakes even though most were removed in the field.
