We will call it a FSX flying painting then :icon_lol:<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
 
I wish there were more repaints of this Wellington. The model has one or two problems, but over all is pretty good. The VC is very good, I think.

I agree , the VC has that nice pre war style cockpit but in areas appears to be incomplete , move forward and look out for a wing view you find the propeller spinners floating in space :eek: , externally the ailerons are way oversized few other details , if your a WWII bomber fan this is the only Wellington , maybe a little attention given they may go back to the drawing board and do a patch :cool:.

As for the textures i'm quietly going the information my good friend 'Barf' at the Wigram Museum archives gave me .. sifting through the details and with information since a lot of it was thrown away it a case research and sourcing photo material , there are a couple of paints for this one at Flightsim.com . :salute:

Ian, very much looking forward to what you can come up with. A new Coastal Command one would be nice. And I agree with you - a little revision of the model, inside and out, and it would attract new customers.

Would it be possible for you to have a look at those double lines on the engine cowlings and nacelles ? I suppose they are meant to be panel lines, but they look more like the stitched seams on a pair of Levis to me.

All the best. :icon29:

I'm sure we can look at that , take the jeans off so to speak :icon_lol: I'll have a scwizz through my bomber books , attracting new custom with an update , add a few extras .. deflate the tires a little :cool: give it the more real ground effect , ladder , chocks and course a must a tractor and bomb trolley would be great !

Ian, thank you. Looking forward to what you come up with. Its a model that's already good enough to warrant further enhancements and improvements.

What are the chances of coming up with a basic paint kit ? Say basic white textures, with a new panel line layer, shading that hints at the framework beneath the fabric etc ? There must be hundreds of repaint possibilities for the Wimpy.


In the meantime, happy scwizzing.

While i was scwizzing :icon_lol: through the library i found only eight definitive schemes in which the wing pattern is very much the same , only real change is the colour , the model dose not lend itself to creating a paint kit but i guess i could do a series of unmarked , four are bomber command , two coastal and one desert and one Burma based scheme .

Is there a market for something like 24x18" glossy printed edited FSX screens...framed and ready for your wall as art??

That's beautiful!

Thanks<acronym> Joseph , ..... it still requires a lot of editing , bits and pieces just don't want to match up , little artist licence , war time they really bore the brunt so i guess a little damage here and there won't hurt </acronym>:eek:
<acronym>
Ive hit a little bit of a brick wall regarding the the aircraft coding , finding a photo with AA-V rather than the B listed , back to the museum . </acronym><acronym title="Prime Presents: The Last Ocean (PGR) (20:30 - 22:30) "></acronym><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input jscode="leoInternalChangeDone()" onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input onclick="if(typeof(jsCall)=='function'){jsCall();}else{setTimeout('jsCall()',500);}" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

Thanks Matt , Its one off those types , you keep coming back to ... the Vickers Wellington doco adds to the theme course the old War movie 'Target for tonight' , well we all no 'The Dam Busters' and Barnes Wallis asking for a Wellington ... 'they wont give you a Wellington "well do you think they would if you told them I designed it " :icon_lol: CLASSIC LINE :icon_lol:
