This is one plane I would dearly love to see, and I didn't know that Slow had dropped it - he was quite adamant he would do it when asked about it a while back. I have some 3d modelling skills and wouldn't mind having a crack at it, but I couldn't possibly do on my own. It needs a team - anyone interested?

If you want to take up the build, and do so, then I can help you with what I can (advice and information wise)... If you're seriously interested - start looking for as much references as possible. Decide, now, what exact version(s) you plan on doing, and accumulate specific information on that. Get some nice hi-res blueprints (three view's), and plenty of photo references. If someone has the information, or is willing to assist you with that, then latch onto them and start getting your knowledge base up beyond the norm. For these birds you should be ok in getting decent references. You will find that highly helpful in the near future.

I'd also, from experience here, suggest very strongly, that you find a competent skinner (preferably someone who builds templates or has the ability to do a skin from scratch) and get his assistance; this will cut down your workload - which will be immense for a build from scratch. I can help you with the 3D work side of things; knowledge hand over, etc, but getting the above will be very helpful for you.

If you are interested in the assistance I can provide, send me a PM or Email...
