Sim Skunk Works F104 3.2 for FSX..WIP...but almost on final!

[Pluto12]

Hi Guys,
just to let you know that our "Zipper" is on the way and the painters have almost done their job. The external model is totally new, and we are working on the retroillumination of the cockpit instruments......I have uploaded new photos with some detail of the model, others photos with the new fuselage with texturing will come soon....
The model will be FPS friendly as the "old" one, but with many more details...
enjoy

Brilliant, SkunkWorks F-104 is one of the planes I fly most in FSX. Already a premium model

How about some shots of the general fuselage and no just gear and speed brakes ?

Hi Dag,
the reason is that the texturing of the fuselage is not yet complete, we are adding details to the texture, so as bumps (minimal....the Zipper had a very smooth surface)...and spec....The pictures will come soon...
Best regards

Sorry guys for delay in external pics,(real) flying of these last days is driving (or flying?) me crazy.

So..

How do you prefer?

Just pulled off from paint factory?





Or just stolen from flightline?





Ok,the texturing is 90% complete,there are some adjustments to do but we are in short final....See you soon!

[DagR]

Nice work.

Hey Guys

The gear legs seem too thin ...

Hi...

waiting for an exact answer, however sometime the camera lens can fool the human eye, here the difference is not noticeable.

btw:
just saw another error, let the modeler to discover it and correct it ... :-)

[DagR]

Splitter plates on the intakes should be more conformal to the fuselage, possibly. More round and less visible from head on, maybe ?

Landing lights ? (too low)

Landing lights ? (too low)

Yes, however modeler said that my picture was made with an old model, they have been already corrected.
cheers
