picked up some other infos:
"Yoji Watanabe's book (revised paperback published from Asahi Sonorama in 1989). Watanabe is an aviation historian and what is written is not his personal account, but a result of interviews from many war veterans.

The 20mm cannon described to have only 127rpm is the Ho-3. This cannon was based on the Hotchkis anti-aricraft cannon. However, the Ho3 is described to have a firng rate of 400 rpm in the "Ki number catalog" pubication published by Bunrindo (the Koku Fan people) in 1997. "
other source tails about 300rpm but the majority is according to say its 400rpm

Are you thinking Toryu or Gekko?

[kashiide]

hi everybody the finished toryu is now about 5600 polys....
is it too much or is it ok?
i can simplify the gears (which are already simply modelled)and pull the entire stuff to around 4200
do i have to do it???
please give me an answer

from IL2 Modeling Bible:

Compete D0_00 Model - This is what is generally referred to as the "final model", though in reality a competely finished model can be thought of as twenty-two seperate models, plus associated small parts. This is the source from which all other models will spring. It is the full-poly-count, undamaged, close-range (0-25m) "perfect" model of an aircraft. Its completion is really only about 25% of the overall modeling process. The model is constructed in Metric measurement at 1/2 scale, 50% of the original aircraft's actual size. The most efficient means of construction is simply building the D0_00 model at 1:1 scale and then scaling it down 50% when construction is finished. Polygon limit is ~3500 for a single aircraft, and ~5000 for a twin-engined aircraft or bomber.

thx mate!!
i though the rules where different now...
the bible dates from 2003 2005?
anyway,going on simplifying...

[asheshouse]

For a twin engine aircraft 5600 polys sounds fine to me, especially if the extra polys are used well to add detail and not wasted. Like you said PC's can handle higher polys now and 5600 is not much greater than the old twin engine recommendation of 5000.

thx asheshouse!!!
i removed useless extra polys and simplified the weels (not too much and closer with the maru mechs pics)and its now.....
4814polys!!!
thx again guys for answering so fast!!!

[kashiide]

hi guys im into skinthings and this gonna take more time than i expected...this work needs patience,patience and patience!!!!!!!!
i find it harder than the 3d work....
anyway,motivation,documentation and time are all there and things are evolving.just not as fast as i would want.but its life!!
a little link to see where i am...

new update soon!!!
good flight

[walter_solito]

The shape is really great!!!

Have a nice work!!!

Trailing edge of the wings looks too thick in the image.
It should come to a sharp edge.

[kashiide]

mmhh...
i think it s more because of the enlightment ...
-i checked the edges.
-ive done the constructing line on the wing s skin and its regular to zero.
will post pics of the skined wings and more part....

[kashiide]

hi guys.i have some news here
http://picasaweb.google.fr/kashiide/Tor ... 3433462386
the void skin is almost finished and the camo one will follow .i hesitate between 2 camos:nishio s sentai camo or nobuji negishi s
im slow so be patient,ill do it to the end!!
