No sooner has one preview been shown, then another comes close on its heels!
Here are the latest preview screenshots of my Miles M3B Falcon Six. The interior of which is based on contemporary sketches made in 1935 by Flight Artists.
Like Dave M's aircraft still some tidying to do....

Yes the links work Keith - they show shots of a very fine looking model ;)
BTW - in the 'links' column on your photobucket page the 'IMG' section at the bottom contains the information needed to post the shot directly as shown here - Image .
Just copy that line starting [URL= into your post.

Cheers :cheers:

Dave, Thanks for that post including the piccy! I will try & remember that.
Image - Yes as you can see I found it!
Airspeed - The windscreen is exactly the same as the Falcon Major that I published last year, but there has been quite a lot of work (although it doesnt show) on the engine cowl as well as the instrument panel & some additional interior work.
Not many variations on paint schemes as not many sixes built & I have no data on the interiors of G-ADTD or G-AECC - they were brought up to M3D standard post WW2. Might do those with the blown windscreen as the exterior view will be better!

I have found only one photo of the interior of the Spanish one which is insufficient to work with. One of the reasons to make the interior 1930's style - I had the basis for the interior to work with - the rest is artistic licence!

Ben, thanks, but I am a solo artist, just me that likes to play about & hopefully get a bit better each time, although Dave & a couple of other Britsimmers will beta test for me.

Yes, I find the shape fascinating. Don't know if I mentioned it during your Major release, but on my site, there are some detail pics under Airports & Airshows/Moorabbin/Details,details- shots 8,9,10 IIRC,
then a more general view in Visitors.

Mike, Thanks for making me look at your website, some very interesting piccys & things.
Note the instrument panel of the Oz Falcon major is quite different to the one at Old Warden, possibly later mods than the original when built.
