I took these pics of this fat lady at the Berlin Air Show 2008:





Note how dull she looks!
The specular shine of the AS model seems a little overdone, or is it just this RAAF paint?

Cheers,

The AS model is the best of the bunch, I remember having to de-shine the Gmax Academie one by 80%...
Perhaps less noticeable in FS9 (Note no self-shadow on that huge fin!)



Interesting to compare, the nose isn't quite right, I hadn't noticed before.

Yip , the one thing Alpha did was cover the both .. FS9/FSX , it is a little sad have not given a completed model as yet , but i,m sure when they release under the 'Virtavia' brand name .

[Charl]

Yes but there's hope - at least Virtavia acknowledge this is still a WIP!

Nice pics Markus Ive found a few of the a/s planes have been bright. Even some of the ww2 camo schemes are almost metallic...some of that could also be computer.

Cherrs Markus....take care over there
