Just a heads up:
I noticed a link from the Strike fighters page about the 3d converter and looked it up.
This page is the official homepage for 3D Object Converter, a powerful 3D polygon model translation and interactive viewing shareware tool that allows arbitrary 3D model data to be imported from external sources, exported to various industry standard 3D file formats with great accuracy and quality.
