hi m8

I currently make freeware models for Strike Fighters2 and lately have been able to use some freeware models to convert for our use (freeware...all models at CombatAce.com MUST be non pirated..which is good.) hence why I am asking for permission to do this...as I noticed you allow it to be remade...in the readme..quoted below......
it will be totally for free use and ONLY at CA site..
hope to hear soon 
cheers 
Russ...
ps...I will not proceed unless confirmed ability to mod it...

Fuselage , cowling ,tail,stabilizers all mapped on two textures (top on one bottom on other,or sides...)  now one texture each side...(top and bottom left on same texture etc)

fuselage was on two maps now on its own.and was rather bad,had to remove a lot of polys and redo some....and then realign mapping etc....

tail was blocky so added few polys to make better...

cowling was same as fuselage,now its one mesh but mapped on same tax as fuse etc...

engines detail was poor so added better detailed mesh...props are temp ..

got worst part done just about...

I know you're gonna fix the wheels!! :biggrin:. Russ, you REALLY are a machine!!!

Are there other skins for this model, and will they be usable (I'm noting the FAA Martlet we're seeing now)

Also, if possible, can I request the outboard gun barrels be seperate meshes, so the 'remove mesh trick' can be used to create the -3 Wildcat (4 guns)

Martlet IV
description=This aircraft is from 888 Squadron Fleet Air Arm in November 1942, when aircraft from this squadron were based on H.M.S. Formidable during the Operation Torch landings. It is believed that Lt. Denis Jeram was flying this aircraft when he claimed his 5th victory on 6th November 1942.

Martlet II

description=This repaint represents a Martlet Mk. II, AJ132, B-A. of 881 Squadron 
aboard the HMS Illustrious in the Indian Ocean March 1942.  
The Squadron supported the landings on Madagascar and the capture of 
Diego Suarez in May 1942.  They stayed on the island for 2 months 
afterward. 

881 Sqn returned to the UK in early 1943. Part of the squadron was attached to 
Furious 6-9 July 1943 for invasion simulation on Norway. Re-equipped with Wildcat Vs 
in Aug '43 and then embarked on Pursuer.
Took part in the Tirpitz attack in April 1944 before re-equipment with Wildcat VIs. 
Went to Med aboard Pursuer and participated in Operation 'Dragoon' and then 
operations in the Aegean Sea. Returned to operations off Norway switching between 
Pursuer, Trumpeter and Premier.
Rejoined Pursuer in Capetown during March 1945 and was working up on Hellcat IIs in 
preparation to joining BPF when the war ended

Painting the Skyshark ain't nothing -- it's overall Dark Gloss Navy Blue. I've had the "Naval Fighters" book on it for some time. Don't forget about the radar

ARe you sure it's ready, model wise? I see a lot of unmapped sections in that Lod Viewer image

I'm not a 3d modeller, I say what AngelP told me. Sorry for not being more useful.
