Nice nod to Gloster, as the Peashooter has a Gloster vibe in those colours.

Glad to hear the job's going well. :thumbsup:

Liking the Hatfield, especially in NIVO. :thumbsup:  The Peashooter looks good too, especially mixing it up with the CR-32.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

The whole Polikarpov family of 1930s-1940s fighters all have a Boeing look to them. Just like Boeing fighters have a Gloster look to them.

Boeing Blackcap Mk.I - Night Fighter Flight, No.79 Squadron, RAF Fighter Command, Munich Crisis, 1938

Another 'silver becomes black' inversion skin but I have missed a few parts around the cockpit and nose. Like my earlier 'Bruno' night fighter this is based on the scheme worn by some of No.79 Squadron's Gloster Gauntlets in 1938.

A little recognition test for you!

Post Script

Yes, this the little-known Kokusia Ki-59 light transport monoplane which looks pretty cool for an early 1940's design. It's a 'beta' release by the DAT boys but flies really well so I thought I'd make a template for it for a Parani transport. But I then got to thinking that it would make a cool RAF liaison/communications aircraft and based the scheme on the Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer and this also dictated the manufacturer and name.

It looks a tad Italian I think.

Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage

Well I'm stumped. 1st thought was Potez, Koolhoven or Savoia-Marchetti but I can't find anything quite like that. Polish PWS-something-or-other?
