Dino's Belated Christmas Present!

I didn't press that one, thanks Dino!

I’m having so much fun with the Impala, thank you Dino for sharing the beta model with us!

One of the old SAAF Atlas Impala II bases is AFB Bloemfontain (FABL) and luckily for us virtual flyers there is a superb FABL scenery available for FSX made by Frits Beyer. He has even made the city itself.
I have done some more work on a quick and dirty Impala II repaint as it looked during the mid/late 1980s when they were used during the border war flying out of the SAAF bases in South West Africa (Namibia). I have pictures showing 1082 in the revetments at Ondangwa air base, but since they carried no decals beside the number it is for me impossible to tell if it is from 4 Sqn or 8 Sqn, which were the two operational Impala II squadrons.

Of particular interest with this scheme compared to the default Impala scheme as included in the pack:

-No national decals
-Brown wing fences
-Painted gunbay panel (not bare metal)
-Light blue grey underside
-Camouflage extend to the extreme nose

Dino has asked we dont release repaints till after V1.o just in case there are any model changes. Be patient.

 

[Dino Cattaneo]

Correct. Please be patient... but it should not take too long: version 1.00 should be available before on January 31st...
