Hello KSW1375,
Well said Milton, those must be the wisdom you get with age
However isn't it funny that you seem to become more patient when you have less time left.......Cheers,

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I usually have to be busy and when I am not, I look for other things to do. Usually that means helping others in their quest for answers, solutions, or methods, or I just start another project. Back in 2012 after I retired in 2011, I had 13 concurrent projects running. Strangely, they all got completed ... will never do that again. LOL

Milton -- Your unmatched ability to produce some of the finest freeware (payware quality) aircraft models for flight simulator is matched only by your unswerving tenacity to see those projects through to completion. I am confident that the A-20, the XP-54 and any other missions you have on your roster will be finished. Admit it, it's in your blood, man.

Update: Wellis is working diligently on a paint kit for the A-20C/G and the P-70A1/A2. This will take some time as each model has differences in panel lines/rivets.
It take a lot of hours to lay these down and he has made good progress on the C/G models so far, even with the holidays off.
Here's a shot from the last update he sent, very much yet a WIP as you know but progress is being made and the results are looking super.

I have always been especially fond of your works Sir and would consider it an honor to see your brushes hit any of the Havoc series.
Huub, thank you for continued support and encouragement. I hope with the C and G, and P-70A1 (C-based) and A2 (G based) models, we can cover most of what was used in the ET and PT, if you don't get too picky.

I know this seems like a slow grind to those of you waiting, but Wellis is deep into to lines and rivets for the four different models; this takes a lot of time and the benefit will be much better visuals and paint kits for the painters.
Spokes2112 suffered some RW encounters and has been unable to make progress on the panel and gauges. He intends to be back in the swing of things for limited settings soon.
So, I offer the attachments as to current status of what I have now. There is paint progress on all models that I do not have yet.
Wellis is welcome to post some screen shots when he is ready to share.
So, no target dates but but I can say with confidence it will be more than 3 months.

I will put some screenshots up in a couple of days after the riveting and panel lines for the G are completed.

Good man, Wellis - a wise man goes for structure first, it's what holds everything together - colour work is the relaxing part.

Here are some screenshots of the WIP paint kits for Milton's FSX A-20C and G; and P-70A1 (P-70A2 is not quite done yet). The screens show the completed rivet and panel lines. The finals are a ways off yet (still have all the greasy, dirty bits) but progress is being made every day!
There are many details on these but the paint kits, in .psd format, are structured so that users can turn the smaller details off and on according to preference.

Grand work, sumptuous detail, spectacular draughtsmanship, Wellis!
All those endless hours of endless measurements, research, dilligence really pay off now.
You're onto it in a big way, Sir - don't stop now!
