• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Edit.... did the alphas and spec again and I think it's about right...same as the photo [when you get the sun angle right]

Beautiful!!! Only a little detail : the crew helmets should be NATO grey (IMHO) : in a camo bird , white are too much visible ( if it is possible !!!) Thank you Mr. JAFO
 
The pilots are just the 'common' file version. Before it's ready for uploading I'll need to change such details...and drop tanks, etc...;)
 
Looking more closely at the 'blackout' panel on the Austrian ones it's clear the original was the 'easy way out' and only on the top section in the original kit. It needs also to be on the sides...so they have to align. The bottom edge is parallel to the canopy bottom....and essentially inline.

So I've redone it [again]....

Back from the World Superbikes....and back into the PC-7.
Doing the tanks in 'HD' [double res] .... but still some more texts to hunt down...;)

Time to knock out some bumps....
I've never done much with bump mapping...but I 'might' be getting the hang of it...;)

It's the Chilean AF shark mouth....so here's one on the go. Texture mapping under the nose makes teeth a chore...;)

Getting the metal finish to work....

Not all that bad with the bumps for panel lines, rivets, etc...;)
