Model is very good, right down to Castor oil.

I agree a neat model. Quite challenging to fly though.

Yes a nice model - maybe Zac can do a nice repaint of this?

It would even be harder to fly if it had no proper throttle like the real one (and the replica at Omaka)! smile.gif

...and I am not too sure whether Peter Jackson would be too happy with his Camel being thrown about with reckless abandon around his buildings and signs!

Well all you do is switch off half the cylinders, and it goes half as fast.
As to reckless abandon, we goggles 'n scarf types refer to it as precision low-level flying.
Peter would approve I'm sure.

That last shot is brilliant, I think its those photoreal trees and high res road below that make that corner of Omaka so photogenic.

How about a dogfight with my dr.1 then old boy? tongue.gif

It's a hallmark of Robin's sceneries, and I've said it before: there's depth you keep finding, and I never get bored in 'em.

As to the dogfight, Trolly old chap, sorry, you're toast.
It happened while you were trying to stop that Fokker from groundlooping on the takeoff run...

OK here it is - I got impatient so did a quick paint.



The model mirrors things on the tailfin and upper wings, like MS default A/C so this is as good as it gets.
I won't bother packaging and uploading it, but you can have the 300k or so textures if you PM me.
Damn now I'll have to go fly that sequence all over again...

Did you ever release that repaint Charl? If so, where can we download it from, or could you chuck it though in an email to me please?

Who is this one by? I have a feeling a repaint of B3889/ZK-JMU exists for it?
