Again, fantastic work Prowler. I am certain you've made Helldiver a very happy person to see this in his lifetime. Looking forward to this and your Skyhawks.....

**roger-wilco-66** · July 24th, 2011, 03:56

Great pictures, I love the attention to details and the weathered look!
Can't wait until the Helldiver is released...

Cheers,

Wow - looks real enough to touch Cant wait to purchase

***modelr*** · July 24th, 2011, 05:56

Looks fantastic. Can't wait for this one.

One little nit-pic, tho. The propeller blades are on backwards, ie front to rear. Being a pilot, that just catches my eye immediately.

Surely the prop on this should turn clockwise seen from the Pilot's seat? As depicted by the model.

I had to cheat - i looked at real photos to see which way the prop rotates :mixedsmi:

Keep looking at those screenshots - the detail is amazing.

A dash 4 ? ... Fantastic!!!

**jeansy** · July 24th, 2011, 20:27

really this week, damn why can it be another 2 wks to coincide with next payday

**Prowler1111** · July 24th, 2011, 20:38

Don't get the wrong impression, lol, we´ll have it in the sim by the end of this week, not out there for purchase, we have to put all the pertinent code in it (that is weapons, ordnance options etc) and then it´ll be out, i presume one more month, but it all depends on various factors involved in the process.

thanks dont get me wrong im whining just for the sake of spending more money

in this case im happy to, its just in this case with all the new batch of naval aviation models and scenery in the past few weeks, defence needs to give me a payrise or i need to get re deployed to make some money

anyway, im looking forward to it

It does, but what modelr is referring to is not the pitch of the prop but the fact that the airfoil of the blades are 180 out. IOW the concave part should be facing rearward.

It is obviously not finished.... in the haste of placing it in the market... I hope they don't forget to add the actuating rods and hinges for the wing folding mechanism... along with the crew members... lol

**CWOJackson** · August 17th, 2011, 08:29

Fantastic looking model of an interesting aircraft. I'll be buying this one for sure.

**peter12213** · August 17th, 2011, 09:47

Awesome job that's stunning can't wait to fly it, the weathering is some of the best I've seen!

**Scratch** · August 17th, 2011, 15:30

Dang that sure looks nice. Count me in on this one! I hope it comes with a 'clean' paint for the real Helldiver here

**timghetta** · August 17th, 2011, 15:31

looking good.

**CWOJackson** · August 17th, 2011, 15:36

First thing I'm going to do is work on adding "Blue Curmudgeon" in white lettering on the cowling in honor of an old Helldiver pilot!
