Yes Sir!

This is the bit that removes "the what if?" element. :icon_lol:

Thanks for the HAF version Matt!


Edit; This is all perfectly true! A monk in the breathtaking, monastic area of Mt. Athos, everyday, rain or snow goes out on to the mountainside and blesses the Hellenic Air Force pilots and aircraft. A kind of unofficial 'patron saint'.
The pilots know this and regularly fly at a hairsbreathe distance from their spiritual guardian.

Where else on earth would one see such an awe inspiring gesture? It brings me close to tears.

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.

O,

The version Milton did was the version by IAI/Marsh and was used only by the Argentine Navy. The ROC Navy version was made by Grumman and used the same engine but used a Dowty Rotol advanced 4 bladed prop. These were the only users of military equipped Turbo Trackers AFAIK!

Invested most of today making adjustments and redos to the C-1A. Mgr is doing an awesome job on the exterior textures. :) I'll wait for him to show off his work.
And, gaucho_59 has wrapped up the C-1A cabin textures. :applause: I will post a sneak peek here.

And, tonight I am wrapping up the exterior model of the S2A-CDF tanker variant with a nacelle change. Once those are mapped for textures Sunday morning, I will move to the interior model.

Talking about wings, does anyone have any good top-shots of the aircraft in the wing/nacelle area? For the "walk area/lines" etc. Thx!
 
Pardon me old boy, but isn't that a Shupe Ship?

Just while I'm taking a quick breather, feeding my favourite rooster 'Cockos' and contemplating the grass my cows have to cut, hah, hah, thought I'd tell you all what happened to me at Duxford this morning...

View attachment 51362View attachment 51361


To cut a long story short (icon:Milton impatiently makes a half turn in his swivel chair, looks unamusedly over the rimtops of his glasses and releases a long sigh as though to say; "that'll be the day, well...go on...what is it this time?":icon)

I decided to make a long flight LGTS Thessaloniki - EGSU Duxford for a couple of reasons.
First: I wanted to see how long I could stand the Garrets; thankfully, it turned out to be one of the quietest flights I've had for months (sit on it Matt! Yes, of course the engines were running you nugget, you were on the throttles).

Second: Its been years since I've seen Uncle Chris Chippington, so why not catch him at Duxford and show off the S-2TCDF.

Well Gents, on arriving at Duxford, I was non-plussed by the folk who seem to be gathering there for 'The Party'.

After giving a brief show (had to wait some 30 minutes in the circuit while some cocky little devil was showing off the lines of his newly painted F-16 demo version) I parked near the IWM buildings...

I was cordially greeted by one of the restoration experts who immediately asked me;
"Pardon me old boy, but isn't that a Shupe Ship?"

By then I was proudly beaming from ear to ear, replying;

"That she most definately is Sir, pure 'Shupe Ship' from nose to tail"




I'm sure Tom Clayton wont mind me borrowing the phrase;

Proud to serve, Milton!

Absolutely stupendous... !
Could you send me the exterior textures?
I think I can get pics of the walk areas, etc. Not photos though... but manual drawings like the one
I used to do the interior textures...
In case you don't have my e-mail: gaucho_59@hotmail.com
Thanks and kudos again!
 
C-1A Wing Walk Strips

Strangely enough, the only good top picture of the C-1A I have shows no walk strips.

I will check the manual for any illustrations but I suspect Mgr has this already covered.

EDIT: Checked manual; nothing there. But found another picture.

EDIT2: Those antenna wires look mighty FAT in the above pictures, more so than on my system. I will take a look at that and skinny them up a bit.

Trying to get the reverse italics right on the tail number and N numbers. Milton would you be able to map the flap hinges, tail skid, wing hinge and door hinge? por favor.
Click to expand...

There are mapped to white1.bmp I believe. Find that off-white texture and change it to the white of your choice.

EDIT: My mistake at least on this aircraft :) Corrected and emailed to you. Salute!
 
actually....
