Just to let you know I'm still working on this update.

I ran into a hitch when I was building the main model, which turned out to be a single node, one point out of line, causing a slightly concave element. It was driving me nuts for two days, and I almost gave up, but I'm back on track.

I've added the cannons to the wings, and I'm now adding the wires to the wings. Still more mapping to do and the wheels to add, but it's getting close to finished. I hope to have a working model in a few days. smile

Then it will have to go to the paint shop. I hope Peter, you have a squadron in mind for this new model?

Always nice to see another EAW aircraft being re-built.


Say, whatever happened to that P51D remake?

Was it ever finished and, if so, were can the 3dz files be D/L'd... fearful




cheers mate pilot

Hello David.

I thought I'd finished it as well as could be, and Col. Landers has it. wink

You'd better wait for Nate. I'm not sure which files were the best set.

Now here is a perfect illustration of the frustrating side of building a 3dz.

You'll all like to see a 3D pilot in the cockpit like in the screen below.


Only one small snag, it's two 3dz's I need to join together. F.3dz 238 elements, and the Pilot head 26 elements, making 264 elements, 9 too many!

I've now got to go back to the F model and see if I can save 9 elements, or it will have to be a 2D Pilot. frown

Most fascinating, Col.
Inspite of having such excellent tools still so much trial and error.
Good success thumbsup

Jes' model the pilot after our fearless leader over here.

He's only one dimensional.

You'll save one whole dimension.
