A6M3 Model 32

[Wingman57]

I have started and took my time making the fuse on this plane. It took me a while but thats the whole point of modeling isn't it? Let Me know what you think updates will come later.

[Wingman57]

We Got Wings

[Wingman57]

Ok well i have got the main model done the only thing i need is to cut out the surfaces and make the interior of the canopy

[Wingman57]

Update did the best i could on the canopy

[Blade Scraper]

Impressive!

[Wingman57]

thanks Blade

[efinkg]

Very Nice!

[Wingman57]

Added some Detail, cut out the flaps, rudder, elevator, ailerons, and im glad that everyone likes it so far :)

[Wingman57]

Ok sorry i havn't updated on this plane yet, the reason is is that these gear doors and canopy interior im having trouble getting pics of them to see what it looks like if someone could find some pics it would be appreciated.

[Wingman57]

OK guys, if its alright with you i have decided to make this a park flyer intstead of a gas. The plane will have no landing gear or canopy/cockpit options. The only thing i need is for someone to please and i will say this again just only do the texture map and converting. So if anyone would like to do this for me please contact me through a pm. Oh and one more thing my G3 is NOT working right now due to lack of controller lol, so you must have G4 contact to do this please.

Hey guys i got good news about the A6M3 cowboy agreed to get the plane into Realflight for me (and im very greatfull) but he sent me a PM that said that i should re-do the rudder section and add a tail wheel (my fault i forgot) so i did and just sent another email back to him a few minutes ago and should be ready when ever he gets time to do it.

I know it's been a while but Willsonman had some time to get my plane into Realflight and he is working on the mapping. I got the plane back from him today and heres what i have. I redid the phisics but i can't use the elevator because my controller is busted for G3. (G4 is on the other computer in the other building) heres what i got for the G3 verson. Landing gear are finished, Ailerons work, Elevator works, retracts work, rudder works, steering gear work, flaps work, and engine works. Willsonman will be done with the mapping soon.

[josh0987]

Looking nice :cool:

[Wingman57]

Thanks! :D

Thanks Griffindor those will really help with my CS.

My plesure and please put me into your thanks for when you complete your Zero!TEE HEE HEE!

Ok found something i cant fix in the G4 version. I can not get flaps to work because they interfere with the retracts. i have tried everything if you delete the surface on mulitplay or not you will get an error automatically. so you will see in the editor something that says do not delete just dont delete unless you want an error.

It would help KE out some.

there you go wolf

[willsonman]

OK, I've not had time to do the mapping just yet... mostly because it is very intimidating... seriously. It will take me a good couple of hours to do the fuselage. There is a lot of detail on it. I did manage to look into the flap issue. Since they are simply surfaces the go down I would add them as moveable pods anyways. If used as flaps that is not how the plane would really react. It is more or less a speed brake. In my observation the Japanese did this a lot on their carrier-based aircraft rather than flaps that increase lift. It also is a new dimension to flying. Rather than the nose going up on landing it goes down... so don't use them unless you are ready for them! I know that was a shocker on my tenzan. So just use a moveable pod and set the airfoil for balsa flat stab.

[Wingman57]

Ok thanks very much Willsonman that will really help. And good job on the research.

Thanks again,

Wingman57

[willsonman]

OK, UV mapping is finished... any reworking of this will be up to wingman but it is another step closer.

[Wingman57]

O.........M............G!!!!!!! its on the swaps

[Wolf Phantom II]

The best Zero on the swaps! Thank you! Keep it up. :)

[Wingman57]
