Crikey!

[Pat Pattle]

In its day it was faster than a Spitfire and with 4 Hispano 20mm cannon in the nose it was the most heaviest armed fighter in the world.
It earned the nickname 'the Crikey'.

Conversion of Kazunori Ito's FS2004 model. I have been unable to contact him ref permissions and his readme is pretty strict on conditions so without wishing to upset anyone I don't know if it'll make release, but I just had to have one!
I suppose long term I could build one from scratch unless there's any others lurking about out there?

Like it!! You got a screenie of the cockpit?

 

[HouseHobbit]

Cool!!

 

[mongoose]

No one in SOH kn0ws where Kazunori Ito is??

 

[hairyspin]

Tried Facebook?

 

[gecko]

I hope you can find him, love that airplane!

Clive,
Yeah, I played around with that one a bit but he strongly worded copyright scared me off too

Yer tis Joost. Needs a fair bit of work but the basics are there and the gauges will all be standard RAF types. I don't know why he's painted it blue though, afaik all RAF service a/c were green on the insides.

Plan B

I've found this model by J R Lucariny which has no copyright restrictions so I think I'll forget the Ito one and go with this instead.
There's no VC so will have to make that from scratch. It'll take a bit longer but at least my conscience will be clear!

There's a number of Kazunori Ito's on Facemuck, are you sure this is the right chap James?

 

[mongoose]

Well maybe not, but no answer anyway!

 

[Frosty]

...Facemuck...

LOL - I take it you're not a member of 'the world's biggest social community'??
The first one (Ito's) looks a bit more refined (thanks for the cockpit screenie!) but what do I know? Regardless of the choice you make, it 'll be another fine piece of aviation hardware to add to the catalogue!

 

[mongoose]

He is a member, in fact a friend of mine.:salute: Not very active though.

 

[Pat Pattle]

Not very active though

Lol, no I am a bit remiss but the little pc time I get (or want!) is put to hopefully better uses. :salute:

Glad you found another model, I'll enjoy getting to fly this one.

Nice surprise!

Marvellous project! I hope something comes of it - with a bit more care during the design stage, this aircraft could have been a huge success!
