Thank you very much Ito-san. My 8-year old son and I was just discussing this plane a couple of weeks ago, and lo and behold--here it is! My son is not the biggest FS fan but he really likes this one. Definitely a keeper for sure :ernae:
 
I wonder what one of those would look like painted up as a civilian freighter? You know, the GI supply sergeant at a US Army salvage depot in post war Germany, mailing one of those back to his home town in Alaska one piece at a time....then discharged, reassembling with domestic engines, and starting up a small heavy lift ops back home.

I could see it now....Big Fat Freight Services, Anchorage, AK. Serving the Pan Handle since 1948.

Now we definitely need that paintkit Smoothie...
I could see it now--military markings repainted crudely, P&W R-1830's instead of the Gnome-Rhones (would end up significantly lighter for the same amount of power). I wonder just how many snowmobiles that thing could carry? History notwithstanding (sources say none were flying by 1944) that would be simply awesome to see in bushplane form.
 
Oh Yeah :jump:

If you guys ever decide to paint it as an Alaskan bush cargo hauler ..... then I'd be keen to grab the textures ..... please :jump: :jump:

Cant believe theres no screens yet of his 2 latest creations in the screenshot they did go hand in hand kinda(if ya ignore the Gigant engines lol)
 
nice job thanks Cees, i'll admit i spotted 2 threads about it and thought "Erm...which one was it i posted in...?" :icon_lol:
 
Very nice!

Hard to believe this started as a glider and then they added engines to it later...

And it could carry tanks... and complete groups of soldiers.. and kubelwagens... and.. and..

And enough Bratwurst to last several months of eating :icon_lol:
 
....And Beer. In fact, I think you could hold an Oktoberfest inside one and not feel crowded.
