+1 the trees should be better blended with landscape, in partucular trees in far background. However great work,

Yes this is really so! I have to say the same...and that kid in to the cockpit...it destroys everything...very, very small! Oleg, make the pilot higher, with smaller shoulders in order to fit the cockpit. The other things just surpass my expectations. Really!

Cheers!

Forget how tall the pilot is. It is the headsize (with or without helmet) that is so wrong.

Compare this upscaled version with the original. This is far from perfect but should serve to illustrate what many are saying. And, for Luthier, the pilot's eyeline is pretty well centred on the the reflector sight.

The real Hurricane s/n L1833 came to a sad end on 3 October 1940 when it collided with another Hurricane on a training flight. Both pilots were killed. See, http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=16274

The detail in design, right down to historically accurate serial nos. is impressive.

You really astonish me with this discovery!

The only way to check the size of the pilot is to see a pic with him standing next to the hurri...luthier?? :grin:

landscape looking better but..and i know its WIP before anyone chips in...but the colours still off for the fields...looks more like france than southern England.

Everything else looks great to me.

cheers.

Agree with comment elsewhere that:
1. The train is out of scale with road(s) which are at best B class but probably C.

Compare this rather crude edit with original.

2. Train tracks crossing roads always have what is known in UK as "Level Crossings" if not bridged.

lovely update, ground is looking great
still not sure about the smokes and fire
let's see a small video of it, damage planes
looks great too, just bullet holes looks quite
wrong, but i asume that are still wip, human
figures looks exelente same as RoF.

But as many says here don't pay me atention
I'm a modder ;)

Now the rest of the landscape is out of scale with the train and the roads. Look at the trees, and there are two crossings with the length of the train. I am still convinced the problem is that the roads are too wide, the train was almost certainly to scale.

the farmer has since sold the plane




Well these photo's vindicate luthier, for all we know, it could be a ground crew member in the pit, thanks for clearing that up:grin:...

Great up-date, thanks!
