Whats up with the bullet-hole looking thingies just forward of the turret?

MR

Chris,

Close calls. Each notch represents a ration of rum for the flight crew. More holes equals more grog.

Wow, Rami and Sarge Willy,

You'd think more designers and skinners would include them in their work, wouldn't you?! ;^)

Thanks, guys,
MR

I read it, Rami. That is danged impressive!

It appears to be your Magnum Opus!

I feel inspired!

I might just get a new computer, do a European install and have some fun!

Thanks for the preview!

Thank you. It doesn't look like the same model with your skin.

Beaufort crew access hand and foot holds?

 

[highpockets]

They carried the access ladder inside with them

 

[UncleTgt]

Any chance of seeing a little of this on these AC?

Thanks UT!

BTW, I was googling around looking for some clearer pics of those hand-holds and stumbled across the Bristol Beaufort Mk.VIIIs and Mk.IX- sort of light transport aircraft built for the RAAF

Cheers,
MR

Schoolboy error with the MkII repaints, I needed to remove the exhaust collector ring from the front of the engine cowl, as with the P & W engines it was hidden at the rear of the engine...

Never mind, they are all done & the dp tweaking for each version is done too, along with sharpening up the VC & making the 2D Panel WIN7+ "compliant" along the way . Onto the DAP Mk VIIIs now & into the home stretch...

More lovely work. Thanks John. I'll have to re-read "Song of the Beauforts", a history of 100 squadron RAAF.

"Song of the Beauforts" deserves a plug... http://airpower.airforce.gov.au/APD...on-RAAF-and-Beaufort-Bomber-Operations_SM.pdf

Song of the Beauforts

Thanks John,
A well written account of 100 squadron operations. Some years back I had the good fortune to hear Colin King give a talk at the Australian War Memorial on joint Australian/US attacks on Rabaul, followed by a close inspection of the Memorial's Beaufort Mk.8.
