Just finished a new 2D panel for the Storch..

Thanks a lot!

Sounds like a great project... was in Johannesburg and the Kruger reserve on my way back
from a 2 yr tour in Korea... an unforgettable experience! Many thanks for your appreciation
of my modest work...
Enjoy your postings a lot...

Is there a decent freeware B-17 F to try a repaint on?

The Donationware B-17 series includes both early and late F models. They're available here in the Donationware section of the library. I don't think donations are required anymore, but not sure.
 
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the info... just downloaded the file.
Will see what I can do... with a Memphis Belle repaint.

Nice one again. I still fly Rick Piper's one.

Looking at this profile I realise that the British had a lot of designs where the tail wings and elevators were place behind the tail and rudder.

Cheers,
Huub

A design requirement for spin recovery - it helps to stop the fin & rudder being blanked by the airflow from a stalled tailplane.

Thanks Keith, I knew it had a reason, but couldn't remember what it was. I remember one of the first designs of the F5/34 (Gloster Guardian) didn't have it, but this was changed during the design.

Cheers,

I am not sure, but I think you had asked me for this Merlin engined version...quite a while ago... and the Argentinian one I had done was not the one...

That's correct. The Argentine one as originally done depicted a DB605 powered G.55 whereas the G.59 was a Merlin powered development. A couple of postings later, you did a very nicely done -4b twin seated version. This new one is the early G.59 with the original G.55 canopy. Later versions had a "bubble" canopy.
