Fairey Barracuda

This picture shows the nose of a Barracuda. Looks like it had two drum radiators (Gallay- type?) in one chin intake, similar to early merlin powered Halifaxes.

Ranwers - to my eye the Tempest nose looked a bit better, but it's your call :wink:

Love this shot - look how far off the ground the pilot sat. This was a big machine:

Poor quality image but it shows how the dive brake was set at negative incidence for a dive:

Hey Ranwers Mate,

not sure I did understand you right: did you canceled this whole project, or only the folded-wings-modification ?

I would love to see this plane in air...also without folded wings.

Many THX for your quick, hard work on it !! AWESOME :twisted:

Best whiches

It sounds to me like Ranwers is asking if someone would like to skin it. I wish I had those skills. :oops:

But the greatest artist are always underestimate and alone.

Remember, we all love your work.

Be brave Ranwers and don't do anything stupid like cutting your ear. Big Grin

Michoo, he means that he is really pissed because of all these bumps. He is not a god- he cannot do everything in one minute. Imagine that you are an artist, you work on impressive painting, and every hour someone is calling you and asking 'when it will be done?'. It can be very annoying. Se this post btw: (The link is inoperative)

cheers

edit: I don't now if I'm right, that's only what I think about it.

I think I can help with the skins, if you explain exactly what is needed...

EDIT: when the new mesh converter will be ready, maybe I'll be able to make new meshes or modifications to existing meshes to make them fit good (it depends from the formats the converter will accept)
