German Jets Uploaded

Hi Clive. The skinny single engine one is the Focke-Wulf p.1 fighter and the fat one is the Junkers Ground Attacker. Both were experimental designs the Germans had been developing to some degree at one time or another. I believe the p.1 was closer to a reality in terms of scale model testing(?). You can see it's influence in a few early Russian jet designs (Yak-15), right down to the Jumo jet engine. These were created by Dancat and were uploaded here years ago but were lost during the last server upgrade.

That first one has definite shades of A10 Warthog! Those German engineers were so far in advance of the Allieds. Amazing.
 
No WIP! I just have to adjust the shine in the M3D and package it for upload. Watch for it in the coming week.

The model was made by Dancat and as far as I know, it is a fictional aircraft. It is his vision of what a German A-10 would like.:a1310:

The engines rotate aft slightly when the gear is down and the engine spinners actually spin. There is also a tail gunner position!

I'm have a few more models (mostly Luftwaffe 1946) by Jon that need some adjustments in Gmax and/or flight models. If anyone with these skills would like to assist in bringing the models up to par, please PM me.

" These files are assembled here in an effort to replicate that original upload. The weapons set included contains the ju-x4-aa anti-aircraft missile with a special proximity fuse! When it comes within 30-40 feet of an enemy plane, it will explode with enough force to take down a four engine bomber."
Tried these on a Halifax bomber, the result is empressive ! :encouragement::encouragement:
 
I've resized the original texture files to 4096, smoothed out most of the jaggies, and lowered the contrast on the panel lines based on the local background color. Foo Fighter suggest I upload the result here for everyone else to use.

Sorry for the delay. I had to break away from CFS3 for a while. I'm trying to give it a proper gatling gun sound, instead of a machine gun sound. Just a couple more days.:wiggle:
 
This is from a partly finished bmp file that Barry shared with me that I worked on overnight. I sent him the results to review.

Really like the depth and detail of the 4096 textures Andy! I love adding those wild axis camo schemes to the Luft '46 models! When are you going to get back into painting? Really enjoyed your work!
 
I enjoy working on them, but since I'm not creating the models I'm a bit limited as to the subjects available.
 
Most peculiar. There is no specular or reflective texture being referenced (none exist) and I have given set 5 a modest 35 35 35 ff shine. The shine still persists, dramatically so. I am open to ideas as to what to do next?
