Yup Bambi is a great lady! I enjoy lunch there regularly. She really has a great place going on there with the Hangar 1 Cafe.

That she is. Next time you go make sure to keep an eye out for a PA32 ....reg ending 87B. I usually park just off the wash rack near the DC3s when I am there.

Well, while we await progress on other fronts, Tankerguy72 asked if I would do the S2A tanker at CDF.

So, with borrowing parts and pieces from the other aircraft, and shortening of the fuselage, I have finally assembled the S2A likeness, except for shortening the hstab. After that and adding the belly tank, the heavy lifting will be done and I will focus on the details more. Should have this done by the weeks end.

As a keen die-hard tanker jockey, this is the one version more than any other, I was so hoping you would include.
Knowing the painstaking time and work you have invested already on this marvelous project, I was somewhat hesitant at requesting this extra model.

Now you have made me a very happy man!

Thankyou!
 
Absolutely awesome, Milton! :applause::applause::applause:

Cheers,
Maarten

Maarten, thank you for the continued support of the efforts here. There are many contributors that really made this possible and it is a huge credit to the membership here.

It also helps that I am now retired and can invest 10-14 hours per day. :)
With just passing the 3 months mark since the start of these projects, we have made tremendous progress.

How can one resist the efforts and requests of so many contributors who give so much.

And, having most of the parts available in the other models made it less painful :)

Just finished up the shorter hstab and working on the tank and doors now.

Had to back up and fix some C-1A model issues for "mgr" and now we are back on track there.

Happy to be able to do this one.

And, I will send the gmax source off to JAVIS in case he can use any of it for the S2F-1.
 
S2A CDF Variant

I think I have all the basics in place now on the exterior model.
Time to get started on mapping for textures.

Oh my! :applause:

She's a beauty!

...as well as the Hemet based colour schemes, I'll have to use all my persuasive influence to convince Matt to do a special HAF version for Greece.
Never can have too many 'tankers' down here in the summer.

i don't know why but i just had one of those 'What if' thoughts... was flying the S2T and though "man put floats on this, fit a few seats and talk about an extreme bush plane!"

either thats a good idea or i've been raiding the drinks cabinet once too often, and finding only pepsi.... :icon_lol:



she really is looking great Milton! bad news guys... i've looked at the S2T Mil variant now... and theres a stick being waved in my direction as if to say "get it into that paint hangar and get working!" :icon_lol:

LOL Matt. I think the C-1A would be better; already has the seats. :)
 
No meaning to hi-jack this thread too much...but there's a military variant of the S2T? I found the firebomber (Firecat) version of the S2T, but haven't seen a military version of it.
