Latest BETA from GAS - Super Stearman and Duster pack

Outstanding news on the paint update and the GUI ability to add or remove the ventral headrest/fairing being added..

hadn’t thought of researching additional data/photo’s by using pilot’s names etc..
well done, Ted
 
Working on it. Decal layout complete off to paint for color match and airbrush detail



P.S. Thanks TuFun got your pm.
 
Release Channels

When the SS&D pack is released will it be through GAS only or across several outlets?
Prefer to support you folk by direct purchase, but not sure of your marketing strategy.

Providing we can get the last minute details done this week the package will be released first to the SOH community at a discount (price TBD) this upcoming weekend and then it will be available as a direct purchase through our webpage and from various vendors.

That's what I'm talking about! Would love to do the Red Bird I did on the demo with this model.
Just needs those dual chromed out exhaust pipes from the SP of A bird. I can dream can't I! :biggrin-new:

If you go to the website of the Artemis bird design and click on the pic you will get a larger image.

Love the color on this one...

Yep me too. Built the rubber band model in yellow, I think it was the crop duster version and a large scale control model that came with an aluminum cowl. The days when control line flying was popular. These days electric flight is the way to go.

Sterling model...

This similar to the one my dad built. It was a large model compared to my little duster. Had built a Corsair in that size also.

That big 'un looks great - is it the Ziroli kit / plans?
I had built the Sterling one years ago but it didn't survive one of the moves..sadly.
Didn't know you were a builder but the eye for detail on your paint work now makes perfect sense..
attached my last effort - Guillows, slightly modified

Not sure what kit it was. I know it was big and had the metal cowl. My dad had stacks of 2x4's of balsa wood for building scratch models. A lot of carving was done! :biggrin-new:
Also built a Rickenbacker Spad rubber band model.

Must have built 100's of plastic models when I was a kid.
 
The Super Stearman, as modeled by GAS is a powerful beast. Really fun to throw around the virtual sky.

So far I have not seen anything to squawk back to the factory rep about...maybe an eyelash here or there but nothing significant, at least that I can see.

On to the Duster release candidate and the float equipped models to see what's what.

I may have missed it earlier, but are you an SS&D Beta Tester & if so are the various liveries you are showing going to be in the commercial release?
