Some new-fangled bird, nobody's allowed near, but it's got two of everything ... except guns. It's got four of them and they don't look like Brownings, old boy. Very hush-hush!
(first export to CFS3, went better than I expected!)

A awesome addition. Can't wait to see her fully clothed !!
LOL that's a big improvement since the last time I saw it Tom, looks very nice!

Keep it coming!
WOW!! Very Impressive
Yes!! Another wonderful new aircraft!!
(Technical (modelling) question: Based on the colours, it seems as if the wheels are made out of different gmax parts (hub, thread, left & right side walls). If so, what's the rationale behind such modelling? Why not make the wheels out of a single cylinder? If the colour is so because you have already textured it, forget I asked)

the texture on the right side is not ... thgiR
jk,
Not different parts, different mappings using different material IDs. The tyre tread is cylindrically mapped, the sides planar mapped and the different selections are marked with what I call a Harlequin multi-material. It's a method which allows you to see which selections of polys belong to which mapping before getting lost in Poly Select modifiers. The wheels haven't been textured yet.
You'll find this in UVW Mapping in Gmax Part 3
Are you suggesting it's gnorw? LOL The texture sheet is rather tightly packed and having one side a mirror image helps to pack everything in. An earlier stage of the mapping was in a recent thread.

Thanks for that, Tom!
I downloaded and browsed through your other tutorials in that series and my head is spinning!! It's so completely different from what I did with my buildings. But it's good to learn new techniques and use more of gmax' capabilities. So I'll see if I can put that to use with the P-47.

I've always thought this plane was cool, excited to see it brought to life!
Ahhh...the full reveal! very nice.
So pleased to see this Tom, and a thing of beauty she is too!
