1/144 Fairey Hamble Baby

Ok this is getting silly, the poor committee trying to do stats for all these planes are going to be tearing their hair out with this production rate for new planes

Let's see - schneider, baby, hamble baby - we're OK there, the damage will be different due to the improved construction and improvements from 1914-1916. Actually makes our job easier.
HD-2 is another matter, that needs thought, as does the JN-4.

Like Don I was also going to ask for stats for this model!

[Zoe Brain]

They'll be in either version 2.3 or version 3.0, whichever comes next. Version X.x indicates a change to existing stats from version (X-1).x. We're nutting out whether we got things slightly wrong for some 2-seaters - about 4 of them I think. If we come to the conclusion that we did, then the next version will be 3.0, otherwise 2.3.

We really, really don't like changing things unless it's obvious we've made a mistake due to new evidence coming in.

We'll have a Beta version within a week anyway, containing all 3 Sopwith floatplanes, the HD.2, and possibly the JN-4, possibly not. It was confined to the Americas, and first used in combat in 1920 in Guatemala IIRC.
