Posted: Sun Feb 27, 2011 5:41 amI took a first few spins with Manfred's new gal - and I love it!
The lack of VC doesn't bother me at all, for I use the MAAM 2D pit, boosted up to 16:10 aspect ratio with some advanced avionics installed...
I also took a quick glance into the paint kit: Looks like it won't be a big deal to smash some decent RNZAF of NAC colours onto this Dak. Anyone interested?
Cheers,
Markus.

What I would be interested in is a wartime RNZAF repaint. Are you able to do one (or more) of these?
Cheers

Posted: Sun Feb 27, 2011 8:23 amreally nice model but the cockpit window frames arent right,..too much outward rake they should be almost vertical...other than that its superb. Im having a go at repainting the stock VC to improve the look of it some..

It's always a question of reference material!
A handpainted profile drawing won't help me at all, for I don't trust any profile drawings.
Some convincing war-time-contemporary images would be a great source!
Dumb question of the day:
Does the wartime RNZAF Dak paint differ significantly from the RAF versions (besides rego and roundel)?
Concerning the VC:
Manfred is currently working on an upgrade:

Don't bother the repaint - just use the tweaked VC!
Cheers,
Markus.
