Miles Messenger

Post by tekman »

While I think about it does anyone happen to know about Rick's Messenger.
I did send him some cockpit details a while back,. They weren't brilliant but clear enough to model from.
Judging by the picture of this model on his site it looks rather smart :smile:

Hi tekman,

The Messenger remains still-born mate.. lack of detail being the main reason. Not sure if Rick would ever revisit it.. shame if he didn't but then again.. his 'To Do' list get's no shorter :sad:

Hi Dave, your'e right it would be a shame if this project was shelved as it looks pretty good to me.
I know from first hand experience how awkward researching for these aircraft projects can be, but it's amazing what one can dig up when we look a little further. Guess this is where contributions become invaluable hey.

Hi Peter

New information comes available all the time so maybe a spark in the future and more stuff around may change things but at the moment it's just like Dave says.

nothing is shelved.

Messnebger will one day be finished.

There are not enough hours in the day to do everything & never enough info to finish model to the standard i wanht them finished.

others like the venom etc are held back until i have enough time & enough data.

I already spend more than 40 hours a week making freeware and cannot do more.

So no more nagging please :wink:

Regards
Rick :wink:

Hi Guys

I was just pointing out that nothing is permanently shelved unless the source is lost.

Regards
Rick :wink:

Perhaps the term I used.. still-born, is to blame. In stasis is probably a better description :wink:
