Title: Peter Brooker's Typhoon
Post by: Greebo on November 21, 2009, 06:28:09 AM: Kazaa asked me to do a Typhoon with full invasion stripes. This one is the aircraft of Wing Commander Peter Brooker, OC 123 Wing at the time of the Normany invasion. One slightly unusual feature of this scheme which doesn't show up well on the screenshots is a yellow spiral painted on the spinner.

Post by: Greebo on November 22, 2009, 04:23:10 AM: This shot shows the spinner stripe. It just wraps once round the circumference, not all the way to the tip as on a 109.

It's surprising no one has skinned a Beamont Tempest, as he was one of the best known pilots to fly it. I've not done a template for the old shape Tempest and won't now, but when HTC update it I may well do that skin.

Just noticed a graphics bug, the bomb racks and rocket racks are shown together on the wing.

I often know something you don't, but I don't know anything about an updated Tempest. :D
