Personally speaking, the P-40B is a rather good model with a nice texture, like the P-36 actually.
Only the H87/Warhawk series really needs an upgrade, I think.

BTW, thanks for the positive comments guys and I wish this model can be finished soon.

Cheers !

Probably not, sorry!

MiG3, especially, really needs improvements, both the model and the cockpit.
What do you guys at TD think? Is there a hope to see it improved one day?

Just a wish, i'm already so happy with what you guys give us

Have to agree with Macwan here, the Hawk 81s and 75s in game are good 3D representations of those aircraft.

And thanks to you sir for your work on the new Hawks and all your skins over the years.

Indeed, I agree too, I'dd rather they focus on correcting the wings of the others and creating the new ones, I hope they'll also get opening canopies.

the p40s are ok in the sim its the bf109s that need new cockpits also the gun buttons on the spitfires need a repaint/redone

BF-109 definitely needs new cockpit. BF-109 is one of the most important plane in IL-2 1946 with a lot of its versions. Compare it to the BF-110 where the cockpit is nice and with good quality. The BF-109's doesn't have many animations. The sound of this plane should also be changed because the actual one is weak (especially inside). Also I noticed a bug with BI-6 plane where the wing engines work even without fuel.

The P-40 cockpit isn't too bad... yes the Bf109 one is pretty old and fairly awful in comparison. Now on the exterior the Bf109 was lovingly crafted while the P-40E/M has a number of extremely obvious errors which it'll be great to have corrected.

You know the Bf109 cockpit isn't too bad considering it's one of the oldest in the game along with the IL-2, Yak, and MiG-3.

By the way, wasn't Kittyhawk MK IA (P-40E) fitted with underwing bomb racks? The current model doesn't have them.
