+Wrench Posted June 1 Posted June 1 my cousin Alan was an Air Policeman during the VN war. Stationed on Guam, they stood guard AT the aircraft. He used to know exactly how many rivets there are on a Buff ... 2

+daddyairplanes Posted June 1 Author Posted June 1 one panel and 2000 rivets down 4/98000 to go would have been interesting to see how the last D models wouldve handled going down low 5 2
+Wrench Posted June 2 Posted June 2 you realize on the scale of the aircraft, and texture sizes, given a "known" distance from the aircraft, you probably wouldn't even SEE the rivets. Wrinkles in the skin? Maybe (I know I have). Panel lines would be visilbe, but very faint.

Will drop opacities later across all panels Wrinkles is a good idea though for later 2

+daddyairplanes Posted June 22 Author Posted June 22 for those that might be wondering, yes the Ds retained the abiltiy to carry 4 B28 multi yield devices right up to the end. conventional bombing was the main menu, but instant sunshine was always available on request 1
