Just got the textures from John, thought I share the pit.... need to fiddle with a few errors and little stuff, soon I think.

 

[FireStorm II]

Wow, really nice, quite the update!
Thanks NachtPiloten Ted

 

[mongoose]

Very impressive. Looks better than many other 'pits

 

[hairyspin]

That’s a lot of work, well done!

 

[Shessi]

Superb, just beautiful Ted!

Remind me, which payware aircraft does this come with? ha ha...

Cheers

Wowser!! Great work as always Ted and John!!
One teeny question, were the RAF using Phillips screws in that period, I thought they were all slotted?

Cheers, Clive

I wouldn't know. There is a mix so let's say we use what is available.....

 

[NachtPiloten]

I just wish we were able to have more gauges. There are several that just could not get to work. But at least they look nice.

I guess HomeBaseand and B&Q ran out of them! (UK equivalent to Home Depot or Lowes)

Invented by an American Henry F Phillips in 1936 as far as I can make out, certainly used on US aircraft, not so much RAF, so yea probably not correct Clive, especially for the earlier types.
Having said that I have seen a cross slotted screw used on RAF aircraft, not Phillips, but could easily be mistaken for them?

Clive, you absolute spotter you!! lol

John,
Fantastic artwork there..

I know Mark, I just can't stop myself sometimes, I must get out more!

 

[abitar]

Wow! Beautiful work!

I had an elderly client a few jobs back who was convinced Phillips head screws were a communist plot to reduce efficiency.

Whitley looks great Ted! Which variants will we see?

 

[NachtPiloten]

Putting the screws to me are you!!!!!!

LOL, old film noir line, I think it was James Cagney in White Heat, never mind the triva, all the screws are 3d so as I mess around with little issues, I think I can manage to fix that oversight from this side of the pond. As far as versions, mkv and I might ask John for a couple Coastal Command skins (really love attacking convoys and sinking subs).

 

[Bravo/4]

Yea no prob on the coastal command version!

"all the screws are 3d"

Heck that is dedication and attention to detail Ted! Sorry to cause a little extra work

From what I've read, Phillips screws were invented for automation and power tools which were difficult to centralise in a slot. Too easy to slip out and damage the work piece.

Very much looking forward to this one.

When the gauges are all 3d, why stop there....

It sounds like this is going to be the best ever bomber cockpit; why stop with the Whitney!
