Introducing the Avia 51

Air!, quick Hi to all you Aviamaniacs...and back down for more...

Milton: that's a very smart piece of promotion work for the Avia project. Great pics too!
bravo! :applause:


OleBoy, that's some really pretty metal you're putting together. I reckon this is just the beginning of Aviamania.


Now I'm off, before getting roped in to doing the dishes.



Cheers Guys, :wavey:

Classy, Classic.

OleBoy, I'm going to make a GW3 fs2004 install for flying classics such as this.

Beautiful metal, very unusual and highly attractive finish that looks alive - love it Sir! :applause:
 
A few more progress pics

We now have a black prop option to join OleBoy's beautiful metallic one.

The white reg number is also an historically authentic option and puts a little contrast onto an overall drab scheme. Gentlemen?

I tried the engine 1 light cowl chin. It was the logical solution but somehow seemed out of place...

A couple of thousand rivets, a bag of Spanish dust, a bucket of Avia juice, scratches, then onto/into the interior.



Feedback would help Sirs...

If Sir asks so, well you Sir must know that you cannot run away with only ne awesome spanish paint, this handsome transport could have been usefull for many countries. I imagine my self as officer from unnamed country in South America, and i would really be happy to rest my tired body in comfortable avias seat.
:guinness:
 
Nigel & OleBoy, your new textures are superb :applause: :applause:

Well done to all who have worked on this amazing classic. :icon29:

Mean while ........... waiting .......... waiting ........ waiting .......... :icon_lol:

Pete.
 
Feedback...

OleBoy: On standby good Sir!

Hurricane91: Wine and olives - the perfect Mediterranean combination. I'll see she gets well doused with a flagon-full, Sir.

kikas: These things can be arranged Sir. She's perfect for the just the kind of ops you describe.

Ideal for getting into the most hair-raising bush/jungle strips and capable of extreme manouvers while maintaining perfect controlability.

Boy can she fly!

Indeed, talking with OleBoy yesterday, we agreed that a major 'hazzard' with the Avia project is/has been that every time we go into sim to test/ check something; there goes another hour of valuable work-time.

So...let me see now...hmmm - feedback. If I understood correctly: I'm to check my mailbox, have a good drink and prepare myself for an 'anonymous' airforce.

Thanks guys, life just keeps getting better! :wiggle:

edit: Moses03, Pete Ham:
It's the warm encouragement from you kind Gentlemen that make the entire effort worthwile.
I have a feeling the waiting is about to be over. On behalf of all involved: THANKYOU.
 
Nigel,

That SCW skin is looking great. It will fit nicely on the CFS2 model.

Thank you for your hard work!!! :icon29::icon29::icon29::icon29:

I've got another little tidbit I've been working on that will really sit well in the cowlings. I think everyone will be quite surprised what I've done. A little more work and I'll post a photo.

Will they be applicable to 'Olive'?

Thanks for the great window textures.

Check your e-mail box Sir.
 
Release Date Announced ...

Everything I have right now is tested out and ready. But, we want to add the SCW scheme to the mix to cover all the bases for a well-rounded Avia 51 package. That should get wrapped up this weekend, give us plenty time to test and adjust it, and then package it up Monday for upload. So, that's the plan for now. Enjoy the Super Bowl. :wavey:
 
Avia57: RK.17 Engine Detail

Still work in progress. It's 150% better then what I started with.

I'm rebuilding it from a very poor black & white photo.

I think I'm scaring the pilot & co-pilot, as I'm standing in front of the propeller on a 10ft ladder. :mixedsmi:

Okay.

The visual association has me auto-imagining that I could reach into the cowl (with engine stopped and cooled....) and tap those cooling fins gently with a screwdriver and I'd hear a pleasant metalic plink. Probabably an E flat.

Think you got it rendered ......reeeal good.
