I'll second your support of the support, but I'll wait for you to tell us if it's better than this onebefore doing another paint on it.

How you find it Paul?

My opinion?

Its exquisitely modelled inside and out like all recent Carenado models - right down to the rivet detail - they have nailed the shape which I don't think the other past 150/152 models have.

Very good VC (& 2d) - best around for a 150/152

No real special features like the Free french one. The sun visor comes down and chocks are in place when parked- nicely modelled pilot.

Seems to fly like a 152.

Sounds sound good but my speakers are crappy so cant really give a final opinion on this.

Overall an excellent model and worth the money but if you are short of cash the free french one is definitely a good substitute although the free one is the earlier 150 which is a bit different.

Just check out the statement of the rejected card Naki...just to make sure its not the same problem I had

Cheers

Eek I better check that - thanks

Heres some screenies anyway - these shots also show off the Zinertec water in a mid Autumn day in NW USA.

Well I had the last payment stopped and tried again with my Amex card and it worked....Flew the plane for a very quick spin last night....

My official opinion: WOW!!! This is simply a beautiful piece of work!! I went up in a real 152 a few years ago on an introductory flight and so know how the aircraft looks from the inside and roughly how it feels to fly (this is the only plane i can say that for ) Carenado got it spot on! If you can't afford it....sell a relative!!

In all seriousness though....Yes, the freeware 150 is great and because it is a different aircraft there will always be room in the hangar for both, the 152II seems to be quite a more modern version of this type. But all in all the Carenado model takes it that step further from the freeware....both visually and handling wise

Well, high praise indeed, perhaps I will splash out.
I don't need this little plane in my hangar but perhaps now I want it

Paul you have an AA issue, best seen in 3rd last shot...

ahh yea I will have to check that out but I think it was the shot not the sim as I don't recall antiliasing been a problem in the sim.

For those that feel inclined in repainting the Carenado 152 heres some pics of some Tauranga based 152s (when the repaint kit comes out)..hint hint.
I have more pics if needed.

I have just got the c152 by carenado. its the best aircraft in my hanger. puts others way behind it.

[Naki]

Glad you like PD!
