Very nice screen shots! The last few weeks are showing nice progress
The Macchi 200 is very nice.. or is it a G.50?.. love the clouds and depth in the view

There seems to be a hole in the stabilizer of the spits? Is this just a rendering issue or skins issue.. easily fixed I'm sure.. it is visible also on the far spit..

I don't think that's a hole, it looks like the mechanism for the elevator trim tabs.

I think you maybe mean the elevator rather than 'stabilizer'? It is the trim tab actuating mechanism I think.

Yup that's it! It looks like a hole or a render bug because the elevator is gray while the trim tab actuator is the same brown as the fuselage skin. It's an optical illusion.
