No.75 Squadron replaced the Wellington with this , the Short Stirling : notice a new paint of Edward Cooks 2004 model by Mike Delizee which really enhanced for FSX

Its not for the systems , very simple but the external model is ideal for your midnight missions over Wellington

Link please!!!!

I've always liked the Stirlings. I knew a Kiwi doctor (now sadly deceased) that flew these in WWII. He had some great stories to tell.

This is not the RNZAF paint yet , researching currently details , this one is from Flightsim.com , base model by Edward with Mike s paint top , trying to place photoreal engine texture on the engine template , course squadron markings and aircraft registration would be easy enough . Soon as its done i'll let you no when finished .

Thanks Dani , Mike Delizee is one of your countrymen , hes in the Belgian Army and produce the base base paint for Edward Cooks original 2004 model , this external but very paint is very effective , i'm current sourcing some hi-res cockpit details to enhance the internals or least see what can be done , I have very good photos using engine nacelle's from the Short Sunderland but placing then is a little challenging .
