I don't know if I can stand this much longer. I may have to change my AI to retro retro to get these all in.
They look great Mike.

I deal with reality daily. Retro is absolutely great, at least as long as we are speaking aircraft and music

Here are some pre-release photos of the Crusader, specifically F-8A and DF-8A model groups. There is a lot more painting than shown by these pictures, so never fear for lack of diversity on this project. Mike Mac and I hammered out a very nice product, hampered only by a serious respiratory illness (me), and a once-in-a-lifetime super-storm (him). I am happy to report that we both survived, and this is one of the results. This should be released to AVSIM within the week, I will post a notice here......

This is a new release, don't use the search function, takes to long.

On the front page, right under the big AVSIM tag on top of page, in fact under the "V" is the "File Library" drop down. The first term is "What's New." Simply click on that. In the large blue field, set the "mode" to "scan". You then have all the new files released to that time. Scan down for Mike Pearson as the author.

Thank you, gentlemen... That's more like it. I must have checked too early today...
(Came back from a flying lesson in a DA40 and there it is...)
Thank you for tacking "The Last Gunfighter."

That's a texture-mapping glitch, I accidentally mapped these chocks to a reflective glass part on the texture file. I will fix it on subsequent models, and update this one......mp

Right out of the gate in 2013......... these will be uploaded later this week, when I finish painting K's and L's........ enjoy the show...... These are the D's and E's.....MP

mikeblaze · Post by **mikeblaze** » 01 Jan 2013, 22:42

....and these are the H's and J's.... mind you, I am showing you about half of what is actually painted for these models.....

mikeblaze · Post by **mikeblaze** » 01 Jan 2013, 22:47

With regard to the ABC package, I will be making an expansion package which will fix the 'chrome' landing chocks from the original model; and I'll throw in a dozen or so new repaints as well to sweeten the deal. This will be a straight drop-in-and-overwrite of the original package.

Then, off to France and the Philippines........

The VF-132 bird has the "Constellation" text mirrored. And now that the nits have been picked. Great work!
