wakeup tailgunner Pilot	posted 01-26- 03:01 PM I wasn't going to post this....but Diego convinced me.....he said I was teasing... Well, it's a Macchi update.... Been doing some work on it, but I have a problem.Thieves broke into my Harddrive and stole a vital plane component... Obviousely, I couldn't fly it like that, so I had to adopt a more radical approach... The 202 has been brought up to the same level... For those who posted about the shape of the nose on the 205, there have been a few changes! I moved the prop a fraction lower, and emphasised the hump of the cowl...you can't really see that in the pics though! Also, the propfast has been fixed, and is no longer the Spit one! I threw together the other just for the hell of it! Some bits have been re-mapped on the base 205 to remove some bad polys on the nose, and to seperate the radiator cowling. This means the model is skinned underneath, so the Mc200 conversion was easy. All can use the same skin! The 200 has a much sharper nose too! Did some more heavy poly trimming, and got the 205 down below the 1000 mark! This meant I could go to town on the 200 cowling and model all those lumps! All will get engines modelled as per my current 109 project, which Nat has tested for me. The cowl is part of that. I just can't keep a secret.... IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 01-26- 03:08 PM Sweet! Dont forget that the M.C.200 had an open cockpit... IP: Logged
wakeup tailgunner Pilot	posted 01-26- 04:34 PM have a couple of small curved glass screens to pop in instead of the canopy. There seemed to have been a lot of different designs though! From what I read, the Mc200 originally had a full canopy, but the pilots complained! They wanted open cockpits so they removed the canopy anyway! Side screens helped cut down on buffeting! IP: Logged
hip63 Pilot	posted 01-26- 08:31 PM COOL ! Hey when you get the 202 done, you think you could maybe let me add it to the DFC? 'cause you know I had been using the fake, (till now ) hip63 IP: Logged

wakeup tailgunner Pilot	posted 01-28- 05:25 PM Hip....as soon as she is ready, you can use the whole lot! I have done my testing of the 202 in the DFC! I want to get the whole trio together before release. But at least the DM is already in place. IP: Logged
hip63 Pilot	posted 01-28- 07:52 PM Way COOL Looks like I need to start writing the Mediterrain Campaign! hip63 IP: Logged
wakeup tailgunner Pilot	posted 01-29- 05:15 AM How about a siege of Malta campaign? With some italian fighters, the desert units and skins you already have, Harmans Ju88 and the Stuka's.....perhaps defending a stalled convoy or two for an Operation Pedestal scenario, plus lots of 'bomb Valetta' missions etc. Shame there isn't a proper harbour on the terrain......
