Grumman C-1A Cargo Bush Plane

As the civvie cargo version of the Grumman C-1A has recently been the topic of attention, I thought I would remind you of the existing work for the plane.

This livery was originally developed to be included in the release of the cargo model, but Milton became impatient with the time it took for me to complete my thorough retexturing of the rear fuselage interior and released the plane early, without this fictional livery. As the cargo version was a bit of an afterthought and was released with no fanfare in the midst of a hectic and busy time with the overall Grumman 7 project, I thought that the work never really got noticed amid the bustle. With Willy's recent texturing work on the C-1A Cargo version, the work I did on the interior becomes more relevant, as the existing models cargo bay is not detailed in any way. I therefore invite Willy and anyone else who is interested in texturing the plane to use my interior work with what ever modification is required - so long as it is credited.

A great sturdy beast for hauling boxes.

And .... don't forget Nigel's sounds .... a match made in heaven

I always loved the Grumman Project. So many beautiful examples of inspired work from a multitude of talented folk here. It became a very worthy and welcome addition to ALL sims.

Willy has been doing some marvelous cargo hauler paint jobs, too.

Sorry, I'm a late comer, Nigel's sound? Where may I find it?

The cargo items are promising... in terms of a little "cosmetic surgery"... i.e.: bring the rest of the interior to the same level of detail...
Perhaps the sidewalls and "nude" partial framework are a bit incongruent... (detailed boxes, extinguisher, etc.)... i.e. (partial framework showing but no visible longerons, wiring, etc.)
Sort of... if one thing shows... so should others... bare sidewalls are sort of a the fly on a white wall... in reverse...
A little "detailing" in this order would make the whole harmonize a bit more... My comments are just that... opinion... please do not take it as destructive criticism...
I think I will work on it and make it available to you if you care to use it... (no need for credit on my part)
Very nice idea...
