OMG Dude that is crazy that looks like the real thing I saw one at an airshow once it was the yellow and white kind (pre-war?). Also you should make 3d models for movies like flyboys or something like that! Great work!

Are you going to make those two black squares positioned in between the pontoon and feuslauge transparent?

they were the windows for the cabin.

If you take a closer look you'll see that they already are transparent. :wink:

Ok Anomalous... I will stop making jokes about Italians. I will root for Ferrari in the F1 championship. I will stop impersonating the Italian language by quickly pronouncing random syllables - better yet, I will learn Italian - I will no longer bring up the headbutt incident when talking to an Italian person and acknowledge you did win by playing fair, heck, I'll even drive a Fiat if that's what it takes to get that Stearman in the game :lol: :wink:

You sir, are a King amongst men. hock: hock: hock:

Cheers

Phuck me, this site is starting to remind me more and more "IL-2 Center" with all of these new and beautiful aircraft models being developed. Sweet Jesus, can AAA stand up to the load when this really gets momentum?

The Duck and the Stearman are queued projects already in development, I think it is better to complete the existing work instead of taking work to complete without even one.
Currently I'm dedicating to understand and understand the procedures for introducing air in the simulator, to do these tests I'm realizing I P-51/Mustung and the P-51A profit theaters tournament in the Mediterranean and the Pacific. Follow, with the collaboration of voluntary magot the attempt to introduce the Duck.

If some want to prove willing to introduce the Stearman anticipating the work, are happy to receive a PM with the mail to send the 3D model.

AnomalousMaterials Wrote:The Grumman J2F Duck was an American single-engine amphibious biplane.


_Development___________
The G-15 was an improved version of the earlier JF Duck, differing by having a longer float.[1] It was ordered by the United States Navy as the J2F Duck.

The J2F-1 Duck first flew on 2 April 1936 powered by a 750hp (559kW) Wright R-1820 Cyclone, and was delivered to the US Navy on the same day. The J2F-2 had a Wright Cyclone engine but boosted to 790hp (589kW). Twenty J2F-3 variants were built in 1939 for use as executive transports for the Navy with plush interiors. Pressure of work following the United States entry into the war in 1941 production of the J2F Duck was transferred to the Columbia Aircraft Corporation of New York. They produced 330 aircraft for the Navy and US Coast Guard.

A surplus Navy Duck was converted for use by the United States Air Force in the Air/Sea Rescue role as the OA-12 in 1942.

_Design______________
The J2F was an equal-span single-bay biplane with a large monocoque central float which also housed the retractable main landing gear. It had strut-mounted stabiliser floats beneath each lower wing. A crew of two or three were carried in tandem cockpits, forward for the pilot and rear for an observer with room for a radio operator if required. It had a cabin in the fuselage for two passengers or a stretcher.

The Duck's main pontoon was blended into the fuselage, making it almost a flying boat despite its similarity to a conventional landplane which has been float-equipped. This configuration was shared with the earlier Loening OL, Grumman having acquired the rights to Loening's hull, float and undercarriage designs.[2] Like the F4F Wildcat, its narrow-tracked landing gear was hand-cranked.

The aircraft was used by both the United States Navy and United States Coast Guard, with the latter using them as utility aircraft for missions including mapping, rescue work, photography, and a target training.

Beautiful AM hock:
