In the works

Great looking aircraft! The Beau is definitely one of my favorites. It will be great to have a Mk I night fighter. Keep up the good work! :applause::applause::applause:
 
Looking nice Ted, but you bent the tail! Is and IIs had straight (no dihedral) stabilizers.

Thought that was HHobbit's job? (Sorry Owen..)
I like the Merlin version, hadn't known about it and it looks good!

I have seen pictures with both, but after I posted the wip, I did get my handy iron out and straightened the stabilizers. :applause::applause:
 
Maybe some time in the future a P-70 night fighter could be done (a modified A-20) and bless us with a not so well known aircraft. With the new P-61 Black Widow and the the new and upcoming Beaufighter night fighting never looked so good. Thanks to all involved. Regards,Scott
 
Here's a pic of the P-70

Don't mean to get off subject . Just love all things night fighter related. Now if we had better radar i'd be in hog heaven.

The same aircraft is also known as the A-20 Havoc export version is known as the Boston. The P-70 is based on this aircraft. The closest thing we have now is the A-20 special ops version found here at SOH.
 
A-20

Didn't someone make a A-20 a while back? The Boston would be cool since early on they housed a spotlight in the nose to illuminate German intruders....we have this capability.

Ed Wilson did one, but I don't know where the GMAX source has gone. A Boston Turbinlite would indeed be fun...
 
My Shop teacher had flown the A-20 in combat and loved the aircraft. Many years ago i built a model of the P-70 and found it interesting as was the P38 night fighter if i remember correctly .
 
Milton Shupe is making an A-20 and P-70 for FS9 at the moment (check the forum). He has always been forthcoming with helping get his models into either FSX or CFS2, maybe when it's done he would share his sources.

Jamie

There was also a p-61 project for FSX underway some time back, looked pretty good, dunno if it got to a stage where it may be of some use to you guys, but if you search the FSX forums for Black Widow/P-61 it should turn up the dev thread.
 
Here's a great US night fighter the P-38 M . Very much needed in CFS3.
