Jabba, great news lad, great news!

Eswube will be happy, one less plane to drawn from scratch for Polish Wings. :D

Naixoterk, I have change only a little on wings section, maybe pixel here and there. I would do some thing different but that's just me. ;) Some sources show rivets on upper side of wings when they join with main hull. I put them there just to see how they will look. ;)

Thanks for correcting it! It's a pity that there are many different sources and some of the are showing different things.

I, for one, prefer to use the black colour on the wing root, because, IMO, it grants a better feeling of depth, and since there's nothing written about it, i'd rather stick to it.

No problem lad, with black outline also looks good. ;)

You will make other Reggiane fighters ? I want to make in some later time Re.2002 and Re.2003.

EDIT: And don't need to credit me, I just change a couple of pixels, nothing more. :D

Ok, thanks again.

I'd like to draw, in a future, the never built Reggiane Re.2007 and the clumsy looking Reggiane Re.2000 so i guess it's ok.

EDIT: After recolouring the Re.2005 of course. So, if someone draws them in the meantime it would be perfect!

Wasn't mentioned in this thread that somebody was working on some macchi airplane? the C.202 maybe?

That would be me, M.C.200/202/205 all of them are on my list. With Freccia, Lince and Alcione. ;)

Good work Jabba! I assume it means that other versions of Hurricane are on the production line? ;)

YARP!

Treats for Gollevainen and the Polish guys here. Please let me know if the Polish one is innacurate, I'm not too sure about my sources.

Many more to come!

Actually, I was asking only about unpainted blanks. ;)

And yeah, they look basically correct.

Yes there will be blanks for all versions of the Hurricane & Sea Hurricane, as soon as I have drawn them all!!!

Hello Again!

From Zero to Hero in four easy steps: Marcel Bloch's single engined fighters

Image

The MB.150 prototype competes for the title worst fighter plane ever, for it never quite managed to take off. The MB.152 flew, was robust, reliable and heavily armed, but short-ranged and neither very fast nor very maneuverable. The MB.155 pretty much caught up with the Bf109E, a little slower but considerably longer-ranged. The MB.157 prototype managed to attain an average speed of 710 kph on a transit flight (although without radios and armament and probably only half-fueled), with no more than 1.590 hp; with full equipment it would probably been fully equal to the best Fw190A.

And yes, I am serious about the engine installation; from the MB.152 onwards, the engines were installed off-axis to counter torque effects, facing to the left in MB.152 and 155 and to the right in MB.157.

BTW, as people currently seem to be busy dividing up Italian WWII airplanes among them: If no-one minds, I take the entire Caproni product palette plus the CRDA Z.1018 Leone and the losers of the BGA competition. For starters.
