I'm glad MM spoke up for me, so nobody thinks I dove under a rock. I am in the middle of a promotional process at work, with an extensive exam and assessment process, so not too much time for modeling just for the next three weeks or so. Lots of multi-hour study days, interview prep, tactical simulations, that sort of fun.
That being said, the status of the following projects is:
F-101, single-LOD modeling done, FDE done, painting in progress; will include F-101A/B/C, CF-101B/F, and RF-101A/B/C/G/H (with exports to ROCAF and RCAF/CAF)
F-102, modeling done, FDE done, single-seat painting done, just researching two-seater serials for painted units; includes F-102/TF-102 with both Case X and XX wings
F-105, modeling done, FDE done, painting in progress, will include B/D/F/G models
F-106, modeling done, painting done, just putting in last FDE touchup, includes F-106A with early/late canopies, and F-106B
I am picking away at these thirty minutes here and there, so I anticipate all to be released near Christmas-time or so. I'll either post some pix of my own, or send MM some updated models since he is a little more adept at FP than I am. I never figured out that formation flight thing, but I could Photoshop the hell out of it, lol.

Sorry, forgot Jake's F-100, it's nearly done in single-LOD for one- and two-seat, but not re-textured yet, it will be finished after the new year. Along with Mr. Bear, the first confirmed projects of 2014......

Here are the F-101s, with pretty much complete multi-LOD beta models, and mostly finished paints (a few painting fixes to be done on the RF-101C and RF-101G models). I have a little breathing space from real life for a few days, so I will try to start finishing these off as well as some other things nearly done or already done......
From top to bottom:
F-101B
F-101A/C
F-101F
RF-101B
RF-101A/C
RF-101G/H

Here is a random sampling of the finished F-106 project, just doing some last-minute FDE add-ins and packaging...... Hint, the QF-106 NOLO model doesn't have a ground ladder, lol......

Mike, one of these days, you have to explain us, in details, how you can have a day of 36 hours.....
