Ah! So that's why you are rather touchy about any Abacus posts that are negative

Only about any (obviously) misguided criticism about the (in general) WW2 Carrier Ops, and (specifically) the F6F Hellcat therein ...  :)

I dont understand why they release such shody work? They obviously can model so why don't they just spend a bit more time and produce something special, or at least nice...

If people are buying why the extra effort?

Sorry Felix, didn't realize you were from Abacus...I wouldnt worry about my critisism anyway...i can't model for sh** lol

Yeh i know what your saying cheesegrater, one would hope it would increase sales though

Sorry Felix, didn't realize you were from Abacus...

But THAT's the rub ...  Abacus does NOT employ full time modellers.  Some of the Abacus folks can do neat stuff, if only because they're testing the products, etc., but the fact is that *anyone* can submit a model to Abacus.  

I am not "with Abacus" - as if my full time real-life job isn't enough, what little time I have left is spent beating up recalcitrant Simviation posters into submission..!!  :D

The nose is definately wrong, but calling the plane hideous is a bit strong.

Boeing licensed it, and I doubt they would have approved if the likeness was "too" far off...
