I like that JK :D the Japanese were in real trouble had WWII progressed quite a few Korean war night fighter paints tho the midnight black would hide a lot off detail.

I think this video sums up the power off the engines, puts it perspective with those 2100HP engines , with it 4 X 0.5 in the nose and 4 X 20mm in the wings B-)
Watch on youtube.com

Very nice vid Ian. Such a thin wing to support those heavy donks.
Nice model from Milton and the team....as usual.

Its great what Milton is doing here, really hocked into the more aggressive lessor (well to many) known aircraft , I got to have a look at this one today, I have not been doing much FS for the last month ... I sorta excited to hear the engine , if its a little dull I have the ideal replacement.

I had a little play this afternoon , another great freeware, Its great the warload it carry's .. impressive 200 rounds per gun .... that is the 20mm cannon alone ... were for example you get a early Spitfire with only 60 or the Mk14's run a round with 120 RPG .. , then to finish the Tigercat's punch ... add four off those whooping 0.5 Browning's tho with only 300 RPG ... won't be much off anything left after that .

Thanks JK , I would have doubted the New Zealand Air Force would have acquired Tigercats had the war gone on for another couple off years, with the Corsair inventory, but its a great thought.

Thankyou Jan Kees - I downloaded 'Bad Kitty' as soon as I saw it this morning, but I won't get a chance to play with it until Thursday

This is a real plane which genuinely has my initials on it. Previously the best I could manage was an anagram, on a Cant Z 506 carrying the registration I-DITO :lol:
