Flappie Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) /a bit off topic, sorry It seems that I'm unable to reply to a PM I just got. So here's the answer : the pictures in my post are taken from a French comic book entitled Angel Wings. It is drawn by Romain Hugault who is gifted for drawing very accurate planes and also gorgeous girls. ;) He has done some other works so far, as Le Grand Duc, which covers the Ostfront, while Angel Wings tells a story of the USAF operations over "The Hump", in Burma. I don't know if his comics are edited in English. Edited June 11, 2016 by Flappie ---

F1y1ngNut Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 I did some 3D modeling a long time ago and based on what I saw it, Rudel's image represents a 3d mesh on top view (probably made using 3D Studio). The blurry lines behind the 3d mesh indicate a technical drawing from a plane wing tip.:pilotfly: I think this is a snapshot taken to the wingtip of the F4U Corsair 3D model. A work in progress for the upcoming DCS Leatherneck module. 1

A work in progress for the upcoming DCS Leatherneck module. nice theory, but way too low poly for an actual wingtip i would guess. like others suggested, looks more like ground modelling to me, or maybe.. something very much zoomed in!

Akatsuki Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 If they're doing the Pacific theater there must be a A6M... The real question is: when?

I'm not as excited for the Corsair as the Viggen or Tomcat, but I've definetely become much more interested in the plane.
Eight Ball Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 I've found out what it is ! :D 1 Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery)
Grundar Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 Well with the P-40 being modeled the a potential "China/Burma" map and these little hints, we could be seeing A6M's. Of course the Flying Tigers only flew P-40b's and e's, but still, a bloke can dream :P Could be a Ki-27 perhaps or Ki-43?..
decipher Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 whatever the tease is about, watching old videos about "flying the hump" is very fascinating. this is a part of ww2 aviation i wasn't really aware of. lots of info to find with google/youtube. [ame] [/ame] [ame] [/ame] well worth spending some time watching all those videos on a lazy sunday afternoon, if you are interested in ww2 aviation.

VIKBELL Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 I just glad they teasing something.:) There are 2 categories of fighter pilots: those who have performed, and those who someday will perform, a magnificent defensive break turn toward a bug on the canopy. Robert Shaw

R.Hugault and Yann, the authors, like to introduce real war facts in their comics, and I know about it. FYI, the word tale can either be used to say : "An account of an asserted fact or circumstance; a rumour; a report, especially an idle or malicious story; a piece of gossip or slander; a lie."OR "A rehearsal of what has occured".So, please, don't be such an ass. ---
