It's at the bottom of the page ;-)

Once again, although not amongst the very best freeware quality, he has made a pretty good attempt to model something not done in freeware before! I think Jed Marsh did a shareware one a couple of years ago. This has a basic but useable VC too.

You get with and without weapons and two colour schemes too, although I think the 'rockets' may be figment of his imagination ;-) .

Could come in handy - now I'll have to finish my (very modest) scenery for Fort Grange (Gosport) airfield.

I don't think that WW2 rockets had been developed when the Roc was flying, certainly British rockets were unlikely to have been that shape in 1942.

I don't like to be unkind to any freeware developer but I don't rate the FD on this little tinker very high I'm afraid. If I say that the runway at GCI isn't long enough to get it off the deck, you'll see where I'm coming from. Shame as once more, Ito San has pulled another unusual subject out of the bag.. Navy t'boot! :'(

Must be the added weight of the rockets causing the extended takeoff roll. ;-)

Ummm see I told you all that it was something that had been built before :)

Not sure where the rockets have come from, as they sure werent in any of the material that I scanned. Honest.

And the next to be built is...............I don't know......yet ;)

Perhaps he and Hama should get together as his Stalwart gets airbourne a bit easier but it doesn't have as high a top speed. No worries about where to land the Stalwart either.. as long as it's not wet ;-)
