Thanks Alex,
Now that I have a functional confutor the project is moving along after an eight month hiatus. David is doing a couple final tweaks on the models and I’m doing some little fixes on the skins I’ve painted so far. I have several more skins to do and the manual to finish, and the Tornado will be ready to fly.
The B-45 had some unique operating procedures that David managed to model in the 3D and flight models, so the pilot’s notes in the manual will be important. Getting the Tornado up in the air won’t be hard, but if you don’t know the tricks to come back down you could get stuck up there!
As with the B-47 we’ve gone a bit overboard, David making models of every variant we could find out about (except the X-jobs, which were just unique enough to require a whole new model from scratch and wore no interesting markings) and I’m painting skins to show the plane in the colors and markings of every unit that operated the type and the operational versions with every combination of squadron colors and external stores. We like going overboard like that!
I can’t predict a release date yet but it will be pretty soon.
