I just keep finding things in the most unusual places ...

Found this last night, iirc, Veltro2k made it.

did we ever get a collection of max files from Coyote Aerospace? i know theres a bonch of lods waiting to be finished, but it would be nice if v2k had or would pass on the max files so some others can take a try at em

not to my knowledge bro, it would be GREAT it if we did. If so, we could make fixes on some of the early ones that have shadow casting issues. and/or using existing ones to make other versions of same aircraft (thinking of the various Banshee's we never got)

yeah, I was hoping there would be a textured version of the B-50. I'd try to come out of retirement to skin that

He just told me there are only details to be 100% accurate, maybe you should release with current status? he agrees with that.

I'll see what I can find -- I know they're buried around here someplace. The only major thing is , WW2 modding is pretty much dead; we're missing so many aircraft that only "they" have, and some of what we do have is so old...

I may do the same for the A3D & EA-3B Skywarrior's as for the T-2. Like the Buckeye, they can't catch the wire on the boat, but are fully skinned and decals to 99.9% accuracy

Please do! Sure we will use those A3 and E3 as well. And maybe someone can fix the Buckeye.

I have those max files, and I did mess a little with this bird...although I still had a few things in mind to improve...was planning to make this into 'Vietnam Air War' series...but I am getting there slowly now. Those who know - know how I work on the models - if I get tired or burned out I move to another model for some time....I absolutely love Starfighter and I have more to come, but then me and one other guy here made a major update - so old should be updated, new should be updated, and more to come made in new way....But I like to work at my own pace... I really would like to be in position to promise you bunch of new models...but time no sky is the limit....maybe after retirement - but then you have to wait 20 or so years..

meanwhile, a friend sent me a model he was making for fun...of course I did some adjustments, and have another thing in works now - but this one is quite ready...need to finish landing gear as his was quite simplified....
