Title: Miles M.14A Magister – this time as… Miles Magister (mostly)
Post by: HaFu1939 on July 18, 2022, 11:56:00 AM

Ten years ago, I used Nightshifter’s perfect Magister template for hacking a Klemm Kl 35 from FFS/AB 71. This was my first skin. Well, it is the time for a little apology to beautiful Miles’ plane, best in form of some skins for Magister as Magister.
Here you are, I hope you find some use for them.
16 semi-historical skins - RAF 7 ETO, 5 MTO, 1 Romanian, 2 German, 1 Soviet. 1937-1944.
Template: Nightshifter;
Markings: MAX-theHitman;
Thanks for downloading, have a peaceful flight!

... many THX for these very nice and useful skins ...!  8)

For those who wonder what was the use of the visible cover, just behind the second cockpit ...  ;)

Surely it is simply a canvas cover over the unused cockpit - seems logical - it was a British aircraft - where it rains all the time...

Would this be used as an IF hood?

Thanks for the link Andy, I've bookmarked this great website.

Having worked at a couple of training squadrons I've fitted plenty of IF hoods and solo bags in my day.

... many THX for the link, I wouldn't have suspected the "hood" was for blind flying pratice ...  ;)

I thought it was to protect the rear (instructor) cockpit from turbulences when there was only a pilot aboard ...  ;)
