Impressive!!! I have a few ideas to exchange with you, Laton, perhaps you could drop me a pm sometime...

Happy Birthday, Dave.

"IT'S A TRAAAAAPPPPPPP!!!"

He will be missed greatly. Was a shock to all who work here with me in Iraq - when I read this and announced his passing... My Dad listened to him everyday... grew up with him on the radio, as am sure everyone else did. RIP .

MORE B-45 WIP pics... here or elsewere pls!!!

mmmmmmmnnnn oorrrgggg *drool* (Homer voice).... re: Column5 salt and vinegar chips. had my parents LAPES in a few bags last week.... talk about a lifesaver!!!!

think is due to the fact that SF2 uses some new code with the LODs - as I and others tried to import SF2 models back to WoV etc - and the fact that the MF model does not have the same mesh names as the new SF2 models... most likely the former reason - try the SFG lods and see what you get. --OR-- just edit: [LOD001] Filename=Kurnass.lod Distance=8000 <---------- here and delete the rest of the LOD entries.

there are a few decal sets out there: http://www.eagle-editions.com/preddy.htm http://www.ipmsusa2.org/Reviews/Decals/Air...dy_mustangs.htm and: http://www.largescaleplanes.com/reviews/Mi...ecals/P51D.html and the Dragon kit: (some issues but no more work than updating the old Hasegawa kits) http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal7...Hoskins/00.shtm I have several Hasegawa 1/32 kits and the Eagle Editions decals above but in 1/48. (IIRC). I to have has issues finding decals for 1/48th scale kits... some are OOP. (I would dig into my stash... but I am deployed at the moment)

genau!!! not only: VF-96 200 - 155800 but also by timeframe and operation. With my VF-92 skin - I was missing info on 3 aircraft so I used some later BuNos to fill in the blanks - not to late as I am making skins for mid 1972. Mytai had some excellent F-4B skins with info included - these skins and SDs skins are used as basis. Did you see the differences in the F-4J skin mapping in the Oct2008b patch? Esp the _5.bmp with the chin intakes and canopy frame area.... Or am I thinking of SF2 .... I am not on my comp atm... will check when I am off work. bis dann.

rc_007: I recently worked up BuNos for VF-92 and VF-96 during Linebacker I, so am digging up more info for the J model. Let me know if I can be of assistance. Got the VF-84 but not had time to install - looks great in the folders. Am looking forward to this VMFA-333 skin!

Glad I could help. Now for getting the warning tris back, perhpaps making a nose roundel with the eject tri on the proper side and make the roundel decal handed, left and right. May need to be resized a bit - in the end will combine the two and will also keep from reaching the dreaded *4 decal per mesh limit*.

looks like too many decals on the fuselage. edit out the last two fuselage decals in the decal ini and see if that fixes the problem. ie Decal017 //FilenameFormat=JAVELIN/60/d/eject will have to combine or paint that stuff on - or ask Veltro to make the nose a separate mesh to one can have more decals...

Gruss von Iraq!!!!!! perhaps this will help?? http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/lofive...hp?t111761.html und http://modelingmadness.com/scotts/decals/yh72003.htm not much... but maybe get you some ideas for Bu Numbers and Block Series of F-4Js. I keep looking in my ebooks I have here... not much most everything is back in Germany. looking forward to this skin!! S!

The 'O' ca. 1967 w/ F-8Cs of VF-111, F-8Es of VF-162, A-1Hs of VA-152, RF-8G of VFP-63 and KA-3B of VAH-4. And yes from YAP 1.

Who (unit) was at Grand Forks in the late '80s? I remember visiting GFAFB in the early '80s and watching 52s take off and land. Later, watching the Bone on one of 3 landing/holding patterns from the GFs farm... ah those were the days... and having 3 Minuteman silos less than 5 miles from the house. Trying to keep up with a Bone while they flew parallel to Hwy 18 in my '73 Pontiac... wings swept @ a few hundred feet!! I was fortunate to get a personal tour of 'Vanna White' in 1988 w/2 friends of mine - did not know that we could have got clearance to take pics if we would have asked prior. Also we 'flew' an instrument simulator and crashed @ Edwards!!! This model is excellent! Brings back alot of memories.

Wolf257 used NA sources also and got the form spot on - just as you have done!! Excellent work - wait until Wolf and Pappy see this!! Can wait to see the mapping and sling some paint on it!

where did that model come from??

yeah right :P

Editor - you are correct. BLT - you cheated - you receicve 3 gigs for this infraction! Storm, can you PM me ref the F-100 pls.

...err.... ahhh.... cough - who me?? Old renders from awhile back - let's see who can guess who the skinner is?? Just had do show who made the F-100F in a post above.... I am deployed at the moment so maybe sometime next year - may or may not be freeware. Crab
