Do like me... make yourself the time you need... Even if only little of it, it's always worth!

Well, I've managed to bludgeon out a little time for myself...rebuilding my install. I've found my new computer handles IL2 on full at a nice clip where my old desktop would act as if I'd just thrust upon her a burden far greater than computing pi out to the last digit.

I always feel well and happy when my advices are helpful.

Hahaha. Well, it was short lived. Got two tests this week. Curse chemistry.

While reading a magazine, few days ago, I saw a picture of a Macchi-Castoldi MC 72 seaplane racer. It was all red and gold, a beautiful plane.

We have the Macchi 202 seaplane. Maybe with a red and gold skin it can be faked into a similar racer?
I told my husband about this idea, and he agreed with me it would be nice.

Maybe Andrea can do the miracle? I promise, no need to make a pink MC 72 for me...

Most probably it could, but it's twin engine contraprop. Those tan bits on the floats are the cooling mats. I don't know if a contra prop has ever been modeled in il2, but this would be a better plane to do it with seeing as the props could be modeled independently.

If I'm not wrong, there is a Spitfire with contra-rotating propeller, here in Il-2.

But anyway, the MC.202 can do for an earlier italian Schneider Trophy racer of similar structure, with single engine and normal prop. Like the Macchi M.39, M.52, M.67, all very similar.

Macchi M.39

Macchi M.52

Macchi M.67

Nice job mate. Too bad I can't scroll enough to see it on my phone.

Now we need the markings, and of course, the Superstar: Kong.
