Animals! Great. Just make sure Daniel stays away from the sheep.
I bet he is from Maine, USA. Maine, where the men are men and the sheep are nervous.  About the DRM, stayed away from RoF because of it. Now that they got rid of it I'll buy the boxed Iron Cross that will be released soon. Last edited by BigC208; 06-07-2010 at 06:11 PM. |

 Just visited that museum last Saturday in the squad meeting. EDIT: it now has the engine cowling closed, and some planes around it have changed. |

Right, Erkki! I found the picture on http://www.virtualpilots.fi/en/hist/...mersukansi.jpg
Although I live in the Netherlands I speak Finnish. I'm bilingual.

Cockpit weathering
I think the cockpit weathering is fine, except for the ratty brown strip of paper on the right, it looks like it was recovered from a wreck that is 40 years old.
To me that cockpit looks like it is used but newish, which I think would be the default for 109es in the BOB. |

The buses where I live recently installed new ticket machines. They only had a thin coat of paint. After only a couple of weeks they were scuffed and scratched and looked ten years old.

The images are simply amazing. Everything is *perfect*
 The Heinkel is beautiful, and I can't wait to simply take a sight-seeing joy-ride in it across the channel.

@work our planes are used 4-6 flights per day (minimum) and after about a year they look like the screenshots.. BUT mostly on certain parts where the wear is "induced" by the pilot. Control collumn, switches, knobs etc. The rest of the wear comes by age not by direct cause of the pilot or techs. Any paint is done with a minimum of one coat. There are some exposed parts of panels etc that would at least have a primer paint as first layer aswell. However, deep "scratches" would expose bare metal if the cut was violent or caused by a sharp edge or hard material of some kind. Saving weight is probly more an issue when painting the external (whole aircraft). We dont paint our cockpits with more than one layer anyway.. it is sufficient. Ive read some of the comments and this is my reply: If your calculations are right, If the cockpits look like this just after a few weeks.. and there is never a "new plane" for very long. how would they not look after a couple of months? Is there a reason why the paint would stop chipping after reaching a certain stage or=?? All im saying is that there is a difference between parts that the pilot operates and parts that he does not touch and is weared over time caused by other factors such as temperature, sunlight exposure, humidity etc. And it would be FUN with perhaps three versions of a cockpit. 1. Brand New 2. "Runned in" (something like the screenhots we see today) 3. Deteriorated (something worse than the screenshots we see today) 4. Also canopies and windshields with a similar wear or visibility factor would be interesting.. (or not relly nice but realistic) It doesnt have to be extreme, it could be just noticable and cause maybe just a little bit of less transparency. Maybe not for SoW, but for the FUTURE
