Hi, folks!
Since the Goose is delivered to OZx, I thought it was time for a yellow peril.
Warwick Carter's outstanding freeware T-6 was one of the first addons I've added to my pristine FSX install. I particulary love the startup sequence with its manual wobble pump and the amazing sound when the mighty P&W Wasp comes alive.
Some great reference pics of NZ1078 can be found here:

And here's the work in progress:
Climbing out at Ardmore (ORBX-enhanced), heading east.
The landing and taxying at Thames was awesome, thanks to A2A's Accu-Feel. Bumpy rides on soft surfaces are much more fun with it!
Meanwhile John "Bomber_12th" Terrell was so generous to provide his sophisticated reworked master templates (including bump and spec maps) to me. A very fine gesture I appreciate a lot!
With the help of this "accuracy layers", this one has become one for the rivet counters:
Just to avoid the antiseptic "out-of-the-box" appearance, I've added some subtle tear&wear to the edges of the access panels plus a decent oil fume layer behind the cowling.
A new stainless steel plate behind the exhaust pipe has just been mounted.
Just to point it out again:
All the Kudos have to be adressed to Bomber_12th!
I've only added some markings and the yellow paint (although some edges already seem to need some paint-dabbing again...)
I hope you can live with the inaccuracy of the wrong model (T-6G instead of the Harvard Mk. III). But compared to the amount of sheer fun this rendition provides, I don't care too much for the spinner and the canopy braces...
Coming up soon!
Cheers,
Markus.
