F7F Tigercat New VC for FSX & P3D

[gman5250]

I thought I'd start a new thread for the F7F Tigercat VC upgrade.

I've got a lot of projects on the fire but I spent a some quality time on the new VC for the "Kitty". I'm about 50% modeled in the front VC, will get started on animation code and gauges when front and rear models are complete.

The model is all new and I've spent a lot of detail time on all of the internals. The MK 20 gun sight is one of the new additions, along with a very accurate quadrant. Research data says that the MK 20 reflected the sight off of the windscreen so I'm not sure if this is the variant I will use. I've got pics showing windscreen and reflector type installed.

Still a very long way to go, but she is a beaut and worth showing in her early stage. This is a project I go to when I need a break from the scenery projects, so bear with me friends.

Enjoy...

Gman you're unreal! I can't believe your mad mad skills. I really really wish I could team up with you on a project but I'd just hold you back!! Keep up the great work. Seriously fantastic. If you ever would like to see a flying one the Historic Flight foundations based at Paine field Everett WA has one. Be happy to see if they'd let you inside the plane for photos if you need them. If you ever decide to visit them or Flying Heritage collections I'd be happy to give you the tour. Again. Great talent here.

Thought you might like it sir. This is just one of those airplanes that deserves to be taken all the way.

Your work is magnificent Rick, you have done a masterful job on your recent skins. I doubt that you would be a hindrance in any joint efforts. I wouldn't rule out the possibility...at all.
Thanks for the atta boy sir!

Really? I bought the F-100 because of your Skyblazers theme. That was a knockout out scheme for me!!! Don't sell yourself short. Your metal work is one of the best!

The multi-talented Mr. G! Putting good use of 3dmax. That's one software beyond my pay scale. Using Blender since one of my favorite artist use this one. He's showing the ropes on using it.

Jan, awesome pilot figure... need those in the C-47.

The basic modeling is pretty much finished. The next phase will take some time, but I thought I'd share some shots of the model as it's current state of development.
