Hawker Heroes

[Old Crow]

OK, I cannot stay on the Side Lines for this one. Here is a link to a lot of screenshots of the Fury and Tempest. This has just blown me away! They are absolutely amazing!
This is weird.......click the picture to go to my screenshots.

I have the Hurricanes and the Wellingtons as well and feel the same way about them. This Hawker Package includes the anti-tank Hurries to add to the earlier package. The one downfall "which befuddles me" is the Typhoon. It is obviously done by someone else and was the worst shock I have had in a long time. It does not belong in this package, for it is absolutely hiddeous....compared to the other aircraft. It looks to be an AI Model with a somewhat decent VC.

Who's the designer(s) :ques:

Here is something to keep checking on also. It looks like it could be the same designer.

As someone else previously said, I think Dan did them. The VC style (and texturing) certainly looks like it is one of his. If we are wrong, I'm sure he'll come along and correct us.

I was thinking it was Dano's work too.....

Man, this is tempting....

Pete Townsend said they loved their little Fury's and hated to give them up...in the book 'Duel of Eagles' about the Battle

Thank you for posting that. I wonder who is Firebug Studio's. I never heard of them. Danial D and I both did that Tempest. I did the external model and he did the rest. According to my contract, my name should be in the manual. Well at least I got paid, so im happy with at least that. Still not cool though.

It is a shame that you cannot buy them as single aircraft!



That external shot of the Fury looks great, but I not sure that they were fitted with cheap 1970's foam seats! They had a bucket seat, like all aircraft of that time, to allow the pilot to sit on his parachute. The camo is not correct either, the Fury's were painted up in camo after the Munich Crisis in 1938, but not as shown in the screen shot.

My late father worked as 16 year old trainee electrician at RAF Tangmere in 1936 and talked fondly of watching the Fury's aerobatic displays from No1 and 43 Sqn, they often looped tied together with 'bunting' to practice for the annual Air Pageant at Hendon.

Aha... Firebug Studios.

Sounds strangely familiar... :mixedsmi:

As Dan is in Firebug studios, I find it odd that you can work with him and not have heard of the name.

I was looking at the package yesterday, but held off the purchase untill I could see more pictures, especially of the VC's. I'm also interested in the Fury, but the rest, while fun to fly, will also make excellent AI.

Roger, I may tap you for those adjustments, if I may, when I pick up the package later in the week. In the meantime, how about some nice VC shots from the other planes?

the fury deffinitly is the best of the pack

You've lost me there Michael?

The detail on the Fury is amazing - must have taken ages to work on all those wires and their connections. The more closer you look the more you see -not unlike the A2A Jug.

That definitely looks like one addon pack to attract a painter.

Now...D-Day was three white two black - each equally wide at 18" (single engine), Typhoons and Tempests also had "anti-mistaken identity" stripes underwing - four 12" black, three 24" white.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_stripes

So what was designated by the nine alternating stripes on this one? First time I have seen and now I am piqued...

Just curious.

P.S. at any owner: are these full FSX - to my own thoughts and wishes - i.e. do they have full spec and bump textures?
