Havoc over Heligoland

Post by :FI:Falcon » Fri Dec 03, 2004 9:55 pm

WIP

Did someone say they liked A20's?

Here, in RAF colors and insignia, is my initial attempt to finish a very unfinished void.

This may take a while.

Ive been working on a A-20, the nose is a bitch to sort out, its a bit warped and a bugger if you wanna do a sharkmouth and the undersides are little awkward to sort out

yeah!

a panel/area on the top of the nose is reversed and moved to the oposite side

and other areas are warped juuuuust enough that you need to fix them

and no rivets!

fun fun fun!

Great! Rivets add to drag anyway... That means the plane will go faster doesn't it? :? Of course they do tend to hold the bits of aluminum skin on as I understand it. :)


She's dead sexy Falcon sir!

I'd like one as well when you get everything nailed (or rivetted) down...

:D
You've got red on you.
