Nice pictures. Nice weathering on the Spitfire and the Walrus is beautiful

If planes are very much used in a campagne and the engine is almost broken and almost al the paint is gone, can the engine be changed and can the plane get a new coat of paint?

Great pics, weathering looks good on spit. And Bf-108 looks beautiful, really shame if we won't be able to fly it...

Nice planes !! that's my first post here
i've been around for some time but never took time to thank you !
these screenshots are great !

but I was just wondering, will the water be more "agitated" in tough weather ?
like some bigger waves ? it would be great, flying at almost sea level in a tempest and having to take a bit of altitude to avoid being hit by a wave !

(although i can understand it can be pretty hard to do such a thing, especially whith boats and floatplanes...)

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.

Looking great but the lettering on the Spit should be grey - not white.

S! Comp

I forget. Is the Taifun flyable?
