Rodolphe, you are such a nitpicker. That being said, I encourage you to keep doing it, because I would do exactly the same if I had such a vast knowledge of WWII aeroplane systems and details like you. Also, I'm 100% sure that when Oleg and co. get the first version out, you will be listened to, and the errors fixed. Thank you.

I see someone looking for a job!

Now, lets start posting P-51 and P-47 info. for future releases to look correct as-well!

Cheers, MP

Gosh ! when I'll get back on the ground, I need to ask Davy, the fitter/rigger to have those Spare Bulbs replaced.















9.Instrument Digit Colours Disregard, see post #26 below

Less important details (not significant)


On the 'Oil Pressure' gauge, some figures (120 - 60) and main dashes are painted in Orange Fluorescence colour.
Check the 'Fuel Pressure' gauge (0-2-4) , the 'Radiator Temperature' gauge (60-80-100-120-140), the 'Boost' gauge Etc ...

the 'orange' paint on some numbers/lettering is the luminous paint that's 'gone off' with age. originally this would have been a creamy white colour and early on quite thick/blobby in appearance
of course the 'nightlight' view should make these 'orange' letters/numbers only 'glow'

(at least we no longer have the green numbering of late/post war instruments seen in early wip pics )

spot on as usual with other points
