Forgotten a bit??

Post by DaveB »

Hi Guy's..

I've been reacquainting myself with the Viscount again today and thought.. what a lovely model it is, despite it's age :wink: Garry has a zillion paints available for it and Fraser's v2 panel pull's the package back to current standards. The 'Wash and Go' brigade may not like it too much as you have to 'work' a little to stop it falling from the sky (or even start it if you're thinking of flying it in the VA) but.. for those who haven't dabbled thus far, you're missing out :wink:

Didn't realise the viscount had opening doors, stupid question but is that Ricks Model? I just cant remember being able to open the doors.

In any case, think I will re-download and get re-aquainted myself.

Yes its Rick's baby. The doors and steps activate after engine shutdown. Gorgeous eh?!

Garry..

The wings and nacelles are dark on this paint (and you should know) so if they shouldn't look like that I'm stumped matey :think: The dark grey wings have reg letters on and the nacelles are the same colour so I presume it's all there!

I like it anyway :wink:

Wish I'd have had my screensshot software open for the flight :roll:

Pooper-dooper-scooper :shock: Mine certainly doesn't look like that Jim-Bob :think: Let me go and have a look.... Yup!! Reflections were turned off. I now have some sooooper shiney wing's and nacelle's.. perhaps a little to shiney :roll:
I generally leave aircraft reflections turned off as I don't think it suits all paints but the downside is, your shiney Viscount wings/nacelles were slate grey :sad: Don't ya hate it when that happens!! :-$ Oh bugger :think: Looks like I'm going to have to be selective which is a bit of a pain in the butt. Mark Beaumont's fab AKIF (current paint) looks like it's been out in the Nevada desert for the last 60years with reflections on and with it off, returns to it's classic royal blue.

Never mind.. you win some, you lose some :wink:

Tks for the tip anyway :cpu:
