Well, there are a number of chaps out there making quite respectable mesh-mods, the Tiger Moth and Typhoon coming to mind (etc). I wonder, therefore, it is possible to make the following graphical changes to the existing msh file groups?:
I would like to swap, basically, the spinner on the I-16s. The in-game variants noted do not match the physical appearance of the 3D models. Therefore, it would be ideal in my mind to apply the "I-16 Type 24" spinner to the "Type 18", and vice versa.
The resulting "Type 18" model would then, in fact, most closely resemble an actual Type 24 (the in-game version is closest to a Type 28, noting the wing ShVAK). The cannon armed machine with the conical "Type 18" spinner would resemble best the Type 17. Neither would be exact, of course, but one must work with what one has available....
As well, I would be delighted if it were possible to apply the rear cockpit area turtledecking (that section just aft of the sliding hood) of the LaGG or La-5 to the Yak-1. The clear rear section on the game's model is suitable only for a very small number of Yak-1s, the majority having the half-round window cut-outs. IMO this would be a huge improvement.
Is there anyone hereabouts with the ability and desire to attempt these modifications? Please?
