Kawanishi H8K2

6,098 N661US  4.5 years ago
Auto Credit Based on suzutuki65's H8K2

This aircraft is an updated version of @suzutuki65 's excellent (and probably currently the best) H8K2. Major updates were made to the nose-cockpit section, where a smoother cockpit framework and a lower lobe with shape more closer to (the blunt nose on) the real aircraft were applied. Flaps and more windows (and missing guns) were also added in accordance to the real aircraft. Other components were also trimmed to improve the smoothiness of the airframe. The livery was created based on colorized photo.
The control groups are identical to the original version besides the flaps. Deactivate group 8 to disable flap mechanism.

    I think the front section of the aircraft is pretty good, so do the wings. The rear part of the aircraft is somewhat confusing and shows no hint of whether the empennage is “going up” or down in relationship to the general axis. Reshaping that section would be helpful@Ptiju23

    All this thing is missing is a custom airfoil. You've got a lot of potential here.
