Looks pretty cool!! Wondering If a generic skin for the AVG will be released too... 24bits of course

John,

Heh, heh, I know what you mean.

It's amazing that some of those models even show up in game.

BTW, not to hijack you post but did you know that raising an R/S compliant 3dz even one click using the "universal" option in 3DZ studio can cause it to fail?

Happen to me with a simple building from the new TMOD set. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't experienced it myself.





Ok, back on subject.

It will be great to have this plane to replace the old one. That's the only model I ever saw that could kill frame rates just flying in formation with 3 other planes.

Maybe when you finish it I'll do a new "Q" model with the bubble canopy.

Just done a check, and I've used 1160 elements in this model, not counting piggybacks, which are mostly flipping elements, which change to show damage. I still have a few things to add, so the final total will be closer to 1200 elements per model.

Interesting to note that this model has no effect on frame rates, even if you have 17 squads checked.

I have a dozen or so color images of AVG machines. So, a sample is easily done up. Keep in mind that these skins won't have an up to standard cockpit until the fall of this year. So, unless ya'll want a flyable skin it would have to have a very low-rez cockpit. And, I am ready to start a P-38H squadron.

At last!

After 70 3dz's I have a good working middle distance model, which started life as an early version of an EAW PAW conversion, with a wire prop. All I have to do is add a new prop animation, and it will be done.



Next job then is to fix the S.3dz.

Not that you'll ever see it, but here is the finished M model.

Somebody asked to see an AVG Hawk 81A-2 (P-40 B-E),

so here goes,
