Yet another new plane for SH3

Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs - that certainly does look queer!!!...as they might say up Yorkshire way.

When you mentioned Pink Heinkel I thought it just possible that Hermann Goering may have had a personal transport specially done to match his pink Luftwaffe uniform!

It certainly wasn't a standard Luftwaffe colour, as I found out after looking through 1) The Official Monogram Painting Guide to German Aircraft (complete with authentic paint chips ), and 2,3,4) all three volumes of Luftwaffe Camouflage and Markings 1939-45.

Seriously though, I think it is a highly sunbleached example of RLM 79 Sandgelb, taken with an equally weathered film and produced by a very dodgy colour process. That lion cub couldn't be the pilot either...it's feet wouldn't reach the rudder pedals

How's the Whitley doing? and what 3D modelling program do you use? I'm thinking of having a go myself.

Cheers

PS Just re-read your post further up - you're using 3D Max. That costs real money doesn't it!

May have to put modelling ambitions on hold..unless you can suggest a free one!

edit 2 No need to answer this bit....just seen Seth and Flakmonkey talking about this on over on the interiors thread. I'll do a bit of eavesdropping over there
