Thud_and_Blunder 0 Posted October 10, 2002 Marshman, Speaking as an ex-CH47 pilot, and having been inside a Mi26, I have to say that I think the scaling of the model looks about right. The Chinook is indeed impressive - shame no add-on maker has worked out how to put a minigun on each side and one on the ramp as we had in 1991 - but the Mi26 simply takes your breath away. Oh, and a big thanks to the gentleman who posted the photo of the Hastings being lifted - my dad flew that one during the Berlin Airlift; he was delighted to see the picture.

Look at both pics where ppl's heads are in relation to the chopper, the entry door starts at someone's face, just like the RL one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the RL pics, the door is wide enough for one guy, but in OFP pic, it's wide enough for 1.5 men. -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dps_cccp 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Maybe left door is too big, but while model scale is about right: on picture with snow & soldiers, first gear is "sealin" in snow little... maybe.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingN 251 Posted October 11, 2002 Now that's a fine piece of work, Stalker. If you're going to release it soon, I'll definately add it to my upcoming campaign Operation: Mercury. So please keep up the good work! Â The textures are quite fine but a bit too bright. Make them darker if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Major Fubar 0 Posted November 2, 2002 OK, I think we've been patient enough! It's been 4 weeks since we heard "maybe 2 days, maybe a week" for the ETA! What's going on! Â (j/k) Seriously, from the screenies, this thing looked almost 90% complete, it must be getting pretty close now, or has the project been dropped? Any news would be welcome...
