was reading up on how to mod some missions, so I thought I would mess around a little bit

so I went in and tried to change some stuff around in a TLDs campaign (some stuff I have talked with Tank about)

what a royal pain, well if I knew what I was doing it wouldn't be so bad, but most is hunt and screw up

but I Got something close enough to try out

got a flight of F4F4s on a bombing run (one of the RAF squardons flew a mix group of Lysanders and Marlets on ground attack missions, no Lysanders, so I put in the F4Fs)

then changed over some of the Spit groups to Kittyhawks, as the Spit was a late show to the desert

must say I learned some stuff, and am going back to reread what I was having trouble with

but here are a couple of shots of my Mess

needs work on the skin, and for some reason, even though I give them bombs, they didn't have any, plus they flew like a pack of bombers, only until 2 were down and another crippled did they start to react and fight

the KittyHawks worked out well

of course, once the bad guys were out of the sky, I went after some of the Trucks in the area

first pass took out the AA truck, then as I came back, had a great stern attack, and was shocked when only a few trucks went up, as I passed over them, I seen why, the lead had driven into a hole/dune and was out of the line of fire !

so I came back, pushed the attack too low for too long, and my cannon ran out, look up and see that I am flying into a hole in the ground, hit flap and pull back, and not much help, hit flaps again and

I like how you can even see the Slats are deployed, but I am going a little too fast for them to be out ? think I was doing 280 at the time

and clear

that is about as close to kissing the dirt as you are going to get with out doing so, didn't even bend a prop blade either

pulled out, circle around and then waggled my wings to the trucks and flew home

I not the smartest guy around, buy Momma didn't raise no dummies

Well, still messing around and trying to learn how to do some skinning, and while I know what I want, I not got no skill, so thought I would pass on some laff (at my expense)

Well that as you can see, is just getting a hang of things

needs work, but the idea is there, now if I can figure out how to paint a train, I will be cooking

as you can see, my pilot has 11 kills, and he shows 11 kills

and as a number of his kills are Ju 52s and he likes to get down into the mud, he is flying Buffy, the Transport Slayer

it don't look too bad ? does it ????

which as I said, it is a work in procress, know a lot of mistakes I made, but am hoping to use it as a learning tool

well, I still need work, but over all, think I maybe getting the hang of some of it

messed around a bit with a G-50, colors are wrong, but over all it worked out how I wanted it

LOL but I made 3 major mistakes, I corrected the one on the engine, can you guess the other 2 ?

this one is a little better

over all it is just a few changes to one of Tankeriv's works

a Buf I

in case you didn't figure out my mistakes

the white band does not go all the way around the body of the plane

and here is the other one, and it is HARD to figure out how to fix it !!!!

was on a mission and seen a number of Spits bounce some 109 E's, which was soon followed by a bounce by 109 F's, a sharp quick battle broke out and I nailed 5 of them, and Crippled 2 more, but when the fight ended, and I start to look around to get my bearings, I was shocked to see the landscape

7 spits and 1 109 F are smoking
