M-978 Oshkosh fuel truck

[+GKABS 8,789]

This is an old model that I made a long time ago and I am working to refix it and make a new skin for it. I wanted to have a fuel truck to go with the new AB

Old

New with more work to complete it.

I just remembered, gerwin already released an M978 HEMTT. I appreciate your efforts towards making a new 3d model, but I'd rather focus on things still not present for Strike Fighters. In any case, keep up the great work!

Thank you Menrva, for the information as I didn't see one in the download section.  This model I created in 2005, and I would like to see it completed with more details.

i appreciate it, and depending on how much rework you do, you could work the whole HEMMT family of vehicles. the 978 was the common fueler for the Army's trucks, didnt realize the air force used em too

its funny for me as the last two times i recall seeing the fuelers, one had a deer in the windshield, and the other was upside down. aside from the deer, no one hurt in either incident

That is the plan  

I found this decal, which will be a great help to make it look more realistic.

you askin me for some tga or showing what you have to work with? im actually cool either way

if you work it yourself, i use the USAAF_Stencil font for alot of my stuff, and it matches what you have there. you would just need to type in all caps for the cross cuts in the letters. (or its how i would do it). use the decal sheet for the guide on WHAT to write, but scratch build the actual tga

the data plates (black and white stencils on bottom) and flammable placards  would be better pulled from the internet individually.

decal sheets are actually good for reference imo, but i dont usually use much other than doors and windows (even then with modification)

This is an old project that I have been working on and I was just showing you all that I have found good decal that I can work with.  But that is good news that you can work with decal if I get stuck I know who to email.
