Military AI Works

WIP should be ready soon

Pardon my language but hell to the yeah!!! I was wishing for one of these when I was painting f4u corsairs last night!

Oh yeah ! The Sandys flew cover for us off Nam. I owe those guys. Would love to have them in my sim.

Thanks to Ray for the beta testing as well as the paints, I have upgraded the model in several ways (better LOD's, working tailhook, better pilot, armed version) and a better mapping job. This E version should be ready in a day or so I hope and the H is not far behind. (Ray, I didn't change any of the map parts position on the map, but I did a better job with them and added a few) Oh, and I made the anti-glare panel in front of the cockpit a separate piece.

This guy has been sitting on my hard drive for several years now and it's good to see it at last coming out. Thank you, Ray!

Awesome!!!!! i still cannot believe just how great the modeling is getting a the moment

Wes..

Sorry, I think I got that backwards . This is the H version I think. The E was the 2-seater.

If anyone has any more info on the Skyraider nomenclature, I would appreciate it. I know at some point it was changed to AD+, but I am confused

Thanks

Ron

Jake, it was originally the AD-1, which was the old system the USN used. A new unified system came in sometime around the late 50s/early 60s.
If you look at the wikipedia entry for the A-1 Skyraider it gives you a list of all the variants plus the old and new designations. It may solve your needs.

Thanks Steve!

update: a little more detail and pylons

Outstanding Ray!

Did you get the armed version I sent you with the better mapping?

yes i did Jake, i'm still messing with it i will post some screenies later

EDIT: its later, this is the armed/tailhook model.

The paint looks great Ray but I assume the new map I sent you still doesn't give you the cockpit or the gear doors? They show up on my machine. Let me check a few things.

Need some oil on the fuse behind the cowl flaps !!

it's getting better Jake




but like you said, cockpit, main gear bays and door's oh and a pilot

Never mind "retro", I've got a slot at North Weald just waiting for that beauty!

Great work from all concerned, I am (as ever) in awe of what you wizards can accomplish.

Sheer bloody poetry, that's beutiful
