Again, thanks for your comments! I hope I can live up to the expectations!
I've never played (or seen) Crimson Skies, probably because no Playstation version exists?

Anyway, here is official update number 1.

Work continues on the beaching truck. I figured out a way to show how the Kampfadler gets towed out of the water and onto the Schlammteufel, but i couldn't find any parts that would fit my plan. Until I opened up the box to the Airfix WWI tank I had in my secret stash. This comes with a two-wheeled thingamajig at the rear, I think it's for anti-ditching purposes but I'll be the first to admit that's just an educated guess. Anyway, I assembled the wheels in the wrong (no, not the wrong way, just not the way the instructions would tell you to) way with a bit of Evergreen tube in the middle. Added some chain, cut the compressor-engine from a compressor (from Italeri's 1/35 workshop tools set), drilled a hole through it, pushed a cocktailstick through the hole, because I had one handy, and there it was.

and

Will add some levers and what-nots to it, and continue to work on the whole thing until I think it's done.
Thanks for watching!

This is the stuff I dream of building but have a hard time executing

I am in pure awe

i love this sort of stuff

>Usually I build o.o.s.b. (out of several boxes).<

Hear Hear! Usually about SIX is the minimum for me (for my "Globrey Blordiator" I used 18)! But I added the extra "O" for "Old"---I like to take Lindberg, Comet, FROG, Hawk, Nichimo, and other "ancient" kits and make something from them!

You have already created a "fan base" here, for good reason---keep up the EXCELLENT work!

It is like the world of Crimson Skies, or Dieselpunk, remind me a little to Sky Captain histories. It have all the thimgs I like in a Whiff proyect.
Really a nice plane.

Hey, Sticky, did you ever finish the beaching vehicle?

Like to see a photo of the two together.

Wow very nice

Nice! I like the creative use of the Me 262 engine pods as missile mounts.

And I see code numbers from a Dorvack PA...

It's still in the 'Need To Fix This One Day' cupboard, along with oh.... quite a few other projects.
A photo of the two is easily done, but it wouldn't be much different from the one posted in 2011

I'm really amazed that this proved to be such a populair build, so thanks guys

That is absolutely amazing! Great build!
