That's a prop from a fs9 model that was ported into fsx with 32 bit prop textures and alpha channels.
:cpu: <---... this is me setting up a off shore account so you can send me my winnings.
The prop doesn't have clouds in it, Joe, but I'll send you a few Portuguese Manyanas for the amusement. :lol:

Rice pudding? No.
Ambrosini SAI 207 (or, I believe AKA S 207) Yes!
Nice work Chris :welldone:
Your badge has been held up at the foundry, as the operator has been distracted with an abscess, and associated medication.
Hope to have it ready for 17th July.

My first thought was an Ambrosini but was put off by the inverted Vee engine - I was really thinking of the S7 with the Alfa Gipsy Queen copy that raced in the '50's.

You have been awarded the inaugural Silver Badge, Chris. :)
When I added the image to the gallery, I typed in "silver wing for this," so that's what you got.

Aaaargh, Don't you hate it when that happens, Keith?
You don't lose points for wrong answers, so it's always worth a try.
I'll point out again, that if there are two or more correct answers, and one is submitted as a question, the one with no "?" will beat the other. Chris was lucky there. :OB:
