Ok, finally an update of sorts but not quite the one I had intended. In an act of sheer stupidity I decided to do a fresh install of windows and promptly lost much of my work. Yeah, I know... :oops:
On the plus side I made a fresh start tonight and in some ways I've a much better idea how to go about things. Now that Fatduck's 3ds exporter has been made available it's far easier and quicker to get new meshes into the game. Anyway, this time I'm going to do things properly and give regular updates on my progress.
The first shot shows the new cannon blister on the port wing (I've left the starboard blister as stock for comparison). It's hard to see in this shot but the gear blister has been removed also. I need to tidy up the smoothing groups and mapping and bear in mind that there will be a new skin for this model too.

The next shots show the new carburettor intake...

That's it for now, chaps. More to follow soon.
