After a lot of work, a lot of learning (and more to come) the first updates have been posted for the PBY. Please go to: http://snickwerks.netfirms.com
and follow the updates link.

Not textured yet (still making too many changes to the model to start but will need to soon (oh sv ......).

The images are 100% undoctored except for the caption (and maybe where I corrected the caption). Need someone who can help with the fm (Tail, you out there... ) Notice I said help.... (I want to learn that too...) My xoommail is broken so please post to me here....
Thanks

WoW! The PBY is shaping up nicely. I happy to hear its well into the works, I am a seaplane lover as well. One question tho... When the model is done, you will have the gear modeled correctly right?

hehehe - Got me. Those are the gear for the JU88 not the PBY. For the PBY they are also in the wrong position (when the proper one's are on, they are farther forward.....) The gear for the PBY retracts in the same way as the F4F as well. But thats a touch down the road yet..
Thanks!

Hey Nat,

this torpedo of yours will look even more wicked when slung under the Ju 188. I'd like to give it a go-over with the smoothing.

Working-model-wise your solution sounds interesting; I never really was happy with the rocket-like torpedo.

SchaF, lol thats a Dauntless silly... a Douglas SBD Dauntless, Not a Grumman TBF Avenger. There is a difference and yes it's still in beta stage, and no water landing is possible now.

Hey Snickers, there's a reproduction RAF Pilot's notes for the Catalina on sale at Ebay UK, ending 6 jan (and currently at £7.00). But I guess you already have found an american one to use?

How's it going by the way?? =)

sea urge + check out Gts & Dance Arado 196 seaplane at GTs Hangar (It's a REALLY nice fake made from the Dauntless and I'm working on a hi-res skin for it to bring out the Ar196s details

Link is not corrupted, NBCi dropped hosting... New Link: http://snickwerks.netfirms.com

Dang... I just cant win here (as in sneak in a surprise and say here she is guys...) There is a release date scheduled for Beta2 (Beta1 will be tested among select squadrons and select individuals... _very_ soon).

NO, I am not saying what the release date is. Yet.
I should have a new series of screen shots this weekend.
Just for a peek though....
