Still a WIP

If I hurry up and finish this by next weekend, I guess that means we're flyin' jets then?

Oh, almost forgot ... does anyone have a good detail of that black thingie on the wing? I guess it's a fuel tank or a radiator or a glove compartment or sompin.

Glove Compartment?

Say it ain't so!

First it was "Driver's License, please."

Then "Driver's License and Registration, please"

Then "Gimme your DL, Registration, and Insurance NOW!"


What next?

"You were doing 350 in a 160 Knot Zone. Can'tcha read your instruments? Pilot Cert, Registration and Airworthiness Certificate, arsehole. NOW!!! And BTW, I'm only here to help. "

...and wear your feckin' mask!!!!! :x

Thanks for the help guys. Turns out that there are several different styles of radiators. Still some details, corrections and wear to do ...

at least it's more fun to skin the Gladatross than to fly the damned thing!

But when (if) Knights of the Sky comes out, you can really let your artistic talents peak... if the make them skinnable that is. Ouch if they don't.

Get practising now says I :)
