JF DeHavilland Dove & Devon Released

"mighty Gypsy Queens"??????
:biggrin-new:
Would not pull the dick off a Chocolate Mouse on a warm day.
Markus, that was my late Father's favourite description of that entire De Havilland 'family' of engines.
:triumphant:
 
Well, those Gypsy Queens don't turn her into a speedy podracer, on the other hand this Dove is nimble enough to negotiate through some nasty 24 kn crosswinds while nailing her down to EGEO Oban (by SIM720) at the rough Scottish western coast, applying some advanced Chinese landing techniques ("wan wing daun"):





Note: According to the refernce pic mentioned above, the Dove's rump (don't know how to name this rear fuselage part below the rudder) now has received a grey shade instead of white.


Cheers,
Markus.
 
Markus..

I've a feeling the spinners should be blue on this paint mate but I'll check:encouragement:

EDIT: Yup.. definitely blue;)

Thanks for this hint, Dave!

Nice coincidence, since I've found another reference image of AMYO myself, taken at my 'home port' Berlin-Tempelhof, clearly confirming the blue spinners:

Seems like AMYO with the slightly bigger "MORTON" lettering didn't sport the additional smaller letters just above the pax exit, although the Heron G-ASVA did:

So I have to remove them, although it's a shame, since the large fuselage textures allow such fine letters without blurring.

In exchange, the upper wing registration letters, as seen here
http://www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1244717/ (note the earlier small "MORTON" lettering, fitting between the cabin vents)
had to be added:




Any further suggestions welcome - as always...

Cheers,
Markus.
 
That particular 'version' from Morton had LONDON in smaller lettering after Morton Air Services. I've only seen YO painted like this. Other Dove's (with the slightly different titles) did have Morton Air Services in small lettering above the pax door as did the Herons.

Upload of the Morton's AMYO is done.
Some 'last minute corrections' were applied with the help of DaveB - thanks, mate!

Enjoy!


Cheers,
Markus.
 
Royal Jordanian Air Force

Already available for repaint here at SOH this depiction of a Dove in Royal Jordanian Air Force Historic Flight livery. I fell in love with this livery first time I saw it and had to do it. Also to add in some variety and exoticness.

Ex-Belgian Devons were used as bombers in the Katangan conflict in 1961. Might make an interesting subject for a paint.:engel016::engel016:
