As well I always have deadline in my work, this will be for sure done faster. I work version with Merlin engines and I do need details images, problem is panels, some are facing but some are overlapping.

Is the problem with fuselage panels or engine panels?

Fuselage panels, on engine are access panels, less problems

Nice work, No.1 :-ok
Interesting that flags on stabiliser were overpainted :-dal
Title: Re: Halifax
Post by: No.1 on June 27, 2011, 12:00:05 PM
Overpainted flag? More info please :(
Title: Re: Halifax
Post by: Profa on June 27, 2011, 12:04:33 PM
Well, it seemed to me that there's just upper half of the flag, while the lower is overpainted (considering its standard dimensions).
I didn't say you're wrong, since now I paid attention to its pictures and it's like you did it ;)

Hi guys, for me it's a perfect profile! I must admit, I must have pushed Srecko to the edge af insanity - the topics for Market Garden we have seen the past few weeks were far from easy!

I am wonder will I ever have easy project?

It looks good No.1, Halifax is a frustrating airplane to profile, you have done a great job with it.

Its a 644 sqn craft just like my Mk.V.

In many aspects your work is better then mine. Few questions- tail wheel is retracting or not? Also bottom belly hole is let open or covered?

No.1,

I was thinking the same about yours, other people's work always looks better than my own to me. You are correct, this a/c should not have a retractable tail wheel, I cheated and used my Mk III profile for my Mk AV profile. The paratroop hatch on this particular halifax, 644 Sqn D-day Tarrant Rushton, did not have a hatch cover, it also did not have invasion stripes painted on the wings yet. There were different configurations of the parachute hatch as well, the Halifax is one complicated aircraft to research, you have done well with yours.
