These are the shapes I will complete this weekend...

1) Create MiG-19 Farmer From Q-5 Shape.
2) F-16C enlarge the inlet, fix the nose and canopy, (attempt) to skin the stabilator...
3) F-18C fix the canopy, fix the 'hole' in the wing you see at certain angles, fix the fuselage shape.
4) Do the same for the F-18D.
5) Create versions of these two aircraft with folded wings for use as scenery aircraft on carriers
6) Enlarge the fixed F-18C/D fuselage, wings and square off the inlets to create the F-18E/F.
7) 'Thin' out the F-15C shape to the proepr proportions o fthe real F-15..

Not a bad list for one weekend, huh?

Sound like a good start, I always were wondering if someone would fix the F/A-18C/D shape problem. Official Janes screw up shape sometime, and I'm very glad that you are fixing all of these shape to look more sharp and realistic looking!

Other suggestions, though I know you have a huge workload.



1.Alter YF-22 shape into FA-22 shape (move canopy forward, shrink tail fins, shape wings)

2.MiG-17 --> F-86. I'm not sure how the mechanics work, but I'm thinking you could take the tiny radome out of the -17's inlet and turn that into the large cone of the F-86D/L. Also, you could make the Fiat G.91 with very subtle changes to an -86D.

3.Su-7 --> F-100D and F: This plane is sorely underappreciated, and probably wasn't ever included because A) it wasn't a navy fighter and didn't qualify for USNF '97 where the F-105 and A-1 were just scenery... B)It didn't qualify for ATF Gold or Nato Fighters because it wasn't new enough

4.P-51 Mustang (from Marchetti): I bet you can do it, if you can make a U-2 from an F-104.

5.F-16XL: Along with the F-100, I have seen more attempts to simulate this prototype plane in libs than any other (people have used the Gripen, Eurofighter, X-31, etc.). I bet if you increase the horizontal stabilizers' sizes and connected them to the main wings, as well as lengthening the body, you'd be off to a good start.


I know you're busy man, but these are just some suggestions. I hope to see some screens of the MiG-19 and Su-9 soon. MiG-19 is one of my favorite MiGs.

No, its fine, good choice, but most are already listed on our EGroup for development.... However, the F/A-22 shape presents alot tougher work... It has no detailed skin and may need to be abandoned in favor of a brand new shape from scratch...

I dont know yet, we have some expermentation to do...

Why dont you join the VNFAWING EGroup to keep abreast of the developments?

The only person that was denied entry to the EGroup was someone with an obscene yahoo name...

Was that you?

If so, you have to clean up your act a bit first...

If not, then a bug in the system denied you as the above individual was the only person denied in the last year, and you need to re-apply...
