I hear ya, Smoothie. :ernae: This beauty is definitely number one on my runway.

I just found an interesting DH80A (one of four apparently) that the Iraqi Goverment bought as Liason aircraft , in a 1957 copy of Air Pictorial -
the photo shows the wong fold (Which I see you have already modeled beautifully) if you would like a copy pm me

Hi Brady,

Long time, no see. Hope all is well there.

Progress: Still working on main gear and wing attach points.

Love the nice chrome (polished alum.) trim work on your windows!


Awesome awesome....!

[Lionheart]

:faint:

 

[Matt Wynn]

gotta love brit classics we did everything and anything with them

 

[Milton Shupe]

Still slaving away at the exterior details ... mapping templates sent to Windrunner.

Thought some of you might enjoy this "lit wireframe" shot.

 

[Matt Wynn]

you goint to add the spats mr shupe? may be a nice addition to 1 variant either way looking real slick:ernae:

 

[Milton Shupe]

Yes, I intend to have the spats as one model option. The inspiration for this project was G-ABLS so we will likely have that one as a primary scheme.

 

[Matt Wynn]

oooh yes! she's looking right, lets get 'er flying right too

 

[bpfowler]

I saw this plane dated as early as 1929, can that be? beautiful lines, great ideas.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiice model.

G-ABLS looks like a flying limousine....thx for the links fellas.
As always Milton, a pleasure to watch you work.

thanks

[Milton Shupe]

Thanks Motomouse and Brady.

I popped the dh-80 into FSX SP2 ACCEL just to see what happened ... so far, so good. Not native however so back into FS9 she went (the green version).

 

[Wim]

That's some fine modelling you're doing there sir.
Got to make some place in the hanger.

Wim

 

[robcap]

Looks good in FSX
But I must admit, that green FS9 version is absolutely wonderfull!!
Smooth modelling, fine datails, and I thionk the contactpoints need no modification. Looking forward to texturing.
