Hi James – no CD yet, but the post is very slow around here at the moment, will drop you a pm as soon as it arrives.

Relieved to hear that it all looks about right, you get to a point with these things when you’ve spent so long looking at them that you can’t see the obvious defects – the only way around this is to get someone else to look them over or leave them for a week or so and come back with fresh eyes.

Not sure what you mean about the gunsight as the reflector gunsight is there just doesn’t show up very well in the gloom – or do you mean the actual crosshairs lit up in the reflector? In which case yes I should get around to them at some point. I’ll need to take another look at the doors, there could be several reasons why they don’t appear through the glass in this pic, most likely is the refractive index of the perspex material I have assigned to the panels is too high and thus the light is distorted so the doors appear to be missing, or it could be that the number of reflection or transparency levels is set too low in my render settings and the rays are not getting through. Will have to look at that. Still waiting for the copy of the Air Minstry turret manual to arrive from Hendon so will probably find some significant errors and ommissions in the turret model once that arrives.

I’ve still got a fair bit of work to do in the cockpit – basic instruments, harness, pilot, airgunner – parasuit etc. I won’t be bothering with the landing gear as all the illos I have planned will be flying.

cheers alex
