    Pretty busy is right. ; ) It's been a trial over the past several months to try and continue to make routine progress when not having very much time for anything but my full-time 'real world' job. However, some big strides will be made with the project over the coming two months. Other than texturing/animations/coding, there isn't much else remaining to be done with the VC, however there is still work to do to wrap-up the exterior as well. Will keep everyone posted as it gets closer to completion - I've been very glad to hear of the continued interest in the project, and for that I really appreciate all of the support!

    John, I'm really looking forward to seeing the further progress over the next couple months. You've practically already scored yourself a buyer in me for sure!

    I'll second that for sure! It's my favorite; has been since I was a mere youth and built that Revelle P-39.

    Very happy to hear that the P-39 is an ongoing project

    I reckon it has been the model I have been looking forward to most for the last two years!!

    I agree! I can't wait to get in the cockpit of that beautiful old warbird and fly it in FSX (especially in Pokryshkin's own livery )!

    Boy, this has been one long project.

    I think it was first mentioned in late 2011, more than 3 years ago? I never realized that these creations took so long. I wonder how many manhours have been invested?

    Glad to hear some progress is being made, and I'm definitely looking forward to its completion.

    If at first you don't succeed, try, try,try again. ... or go read the manual.

    Since I started 3d modelling and scenery design I began to understand that this is takes a very large amount of time, excpecially when a high level of quality is desired. John is among the best, in my opinion - and that level, if you don't have a team to spread the work, you easialy can measure the development time in years.

    I'm very much looking forward to the P-39, patiently!


    Cheers,
    Mark
