Curtis Hawk 75A in Finland - Rich77 - 19.01.2008

I'm searching for someone who can help me to create cockpit for Finnish Curtis Hawk 75A.
There are few things to do:
1. Gunsight needs to be changed, in Finnish Hawks REVI 3D (J8A or Japanese aircrafts as A6M5) and REVI 12 (Bf 109E) were used.
2. There were radio station FU7A and breathing apparatus,both from Bf 109E.
3. Whole interior was painted by RLM grau 02 - kind of grey.
4. Finnish Hawks had bomb racks (10x 12,5kg or 6x 25kg).
5. Fix the problem with opening cockpit during flight (it can't be opened now).

I'm not skilled in modifing IL2, so I'm askng you.

Looks like a great idea. Concerning this, maybe the gunsights can be changed for the Gladiators?


- Rich77 - 19.01.2008

Yes, it can be changed for gunsight from Swedish J8a. In Hawk gunsight was on construction which looks like the one from Tempest, maybe it can be used...

Dear MrJolly,

here is my list:


1. Gunsight needs to be changed from swedish J8A
2. Construction under gunsight needs to be changed from swedish J8A or Hawker Tempest

so:

3. interior was painted by kind of grey (RLM grau 02)
4. It is possible to have this H-75A-3 and A-4 with openable canopie? By the P-40B, C, M is that possible...

5. fix the problem with tail wheel - I am out of lockout of tail wheel.

Sorry for my bad english MrJolly.

Thank you VERY much MrJolly for your willingness!

Guys, don

And here is my list...

as Brewster already said, Gunsight and construction under it must be changed. But there is another problem, cockpit in IL2 has armour behind gunsight (thick glass) which wasn't used in Finland. It is better visible on picture...

Another thing I would like to suggest is arming. Finnish Hawks used bomb (10x 12,5kg or 6x 25kg).
They also had additional machineguns-Rusian Beresin UB 12,7mm (like Mig-3).
