Started with this lo-res model:





I enhanced the fuselage and brought it into the correct scale but the wings were a rendering nightmare so I ditched them and modified the wings from the hi-res A-20. The skin is based on one I found on a CFS site:









So all I have left is the skin for the F8F Bearcat and the SPAW1945 add-on will be ready for release.

Ray! thats a much closer 3dz and HR to boot, could you send it to me? i've had a full bmp profile camo for it which would have been waisted on the LR pcx, want to see how well it may adapt now???...not to mention i think am going to be snowed in again and have extra time to mess with it!!!

Ok, Alan.

Remember, this model uses my hi-res method. That means the F.3dz has no elements at all, only hardoints to hold the other 3dz files together.
