Low flying with fireworks: train strafing!

Thanks for your help, guys!
I’ve got all the answers I need now, especially thanks to this great instructional video from WW2 which explains it all precisely:

On a somewhat related note… does anybody have an answer to this?

Thanks Rick, that’s very useful info π
Now if anybody would know the markings of this machine…
Mark, I’m interested in that shot, if it’s not too much hassle to scan. I’ve sent you an e-mail. If I were you, I’d remove the e-mail address again to save yourself from receiving spam in due time.
As for copies of the finished product… I won’t be giving the 3D model away but I’ll certainly make some wallpapers of it… and more π
Hopefully that little bit of info included copious amounts of tongue-in-cheek.
I didn’t know of any big stack of Jumos either π
But if there is… how about a Ta 152? :p
Now anybody fancies building Do 335 replicas or finishing the Ho 229 V3? :rolleyes:
(the 335 would be a mind boggling airshow performer for sure!!!!! ;))
Thanks Taylorman!
I’m using 3DSMAX.
I see you just updated your avatar! π
PS. Do you have any more pictures of the contra-prop and tiptank F4U-4s on your website? They look like fun conversions! π
I guess from a maintenance point of view (it’s a kit afterall) the Allison engine may be a wiser choice. Cheaper and easier to get parts. Potentially more reliable too.
But then again you know a lot more of this stuff than I do π
Thanks Jaldo! π
Thanks EvΕΎen! π
I know you made a LOT of walkarounds… Do you happen to have good pictures of the bottom of the Corsair – between the wings?
Wow, I didn’t realize that Corsair mainspars were that complex
The Corsair is an insanely complex machine. I am modelling one now in 3D and it’s just mad all the silly unlogical details all over the place. From a distance it looks like a nice plane, but up close it’s a whole collection of problem fixes… :rolleyes:
I’d love to do an F2G as it’s a great looking beast, but I’m afraid that’s a bit too much of a conversion… I don’t think I’ll have enough time… π
Update!





Will it be at…. π
LOL :p
Thanks for the update. Good to know it’s not rotting away in some hangar but already being rebuilt.
E/F models didn’t have canon breeches now did they π
Panel looks like a fake to me…
Nice one I just found in “US Army Air Forces in the Pacific”. It’s a Black Widow of the 421 NFS buzzing Puerto Princess, Philippine Islands.

Nice indeed! That baby-Lightning is a bit silly, by the way! π
I’m surprised I haven’t seen many cropdusters yet? They do low flying for a living π
