Small flaw with Ta152 air intake shape
« on: March 21, 2008, 11:03:21 AM »
Not sure if this is the right place to get Superfly's attention..

It should be a bit broader at the base by a few vertices.. :)   I suppose the model won't be updated for quite a while now, so I thought I'd point it out now rather than later when you guys are moved further on.

Thanks for the great remodel.

No joy. I see the other thread's gunsight picture, but not this.

Or if that doesn't work, this one:


"Some variant of B?" is the D13 in Seattle.

Yes, that one shows up.

I was noticing the odd shape of that myself while flying the 152 the past couple days.

The profile of the shape is very obvious here too, from an angle near what players see from the cockpit:

It's just too different. :)  The model would be just about perfect if this was fixed.

Almost perfect angle to contrast its shape with the D9's and the current AH Ta152's.

From "Monogram Close-up 24  TA 152"

I promise I won't bump this thread again :)
