THAT would NOT be the first time either mate.. a painters nightmare :'(

Tony.. I'm not sure that version had a bend in.. I'll go and have a look. It may be one way around the problem but then.. you'll look at it forever and know it's wrong. Dammed if you do.. dammed if you don't :wall:

EDIT.. Having scanned Airliners.. I'd say that at least the rear window is out of place as there is no decernable bend in the dark cheatline. I can't see from this screen but will the cheatline hit the same place on the elevators if you take it from the top edge of the FD windows as in this.. http://www.airliners.net/photo/Monarch- ... 0661582/L/

Hello Mate :hello:

You can't win em all.. and neither can the modellers. It's all well and good getting good 3-views but I can't recall anything made here by the 'A-Team' that hasn't needed to be adjusted to make it 'look right'.

You don't fancy doing an old style Monarch for the CLS FS9 model do you :wasntme:

:lol:

Cheat! Just make the front window bigger ;)

I remember being on an A300 and wondering at the upward slope of the deck at the rear - didn't give it another thought, an odd design though.

Regards,
Chris

Yes, of course it is ;) Fortunately, the CLS model has the rear windows in the right place so there's no need to make the FD windows bigger :agree: Also, the CLS windows are painted not cut so a good cheat would have been to move them down slightly.. should that have been necessary :cpu:
