Thanks very much for your replies, Clint & Jim! Glad you like it!


Jim, I didn't log my hours too well on this project as it spans over two periods, so it's difficult to say exactly. I originally made a Ju 88 T-1 for a book by Dave Wadman, which never materialised (as planned). I created this model in my spare time over the course of 3 months back in 2004. Then last year I was asked to produce an A-4 model for a documentary. What started off as a "quick conversion" became a major rebuild and took about three weeks. Here you can see the differences between the 2004 model and the current model. In hindsight I wish I'd started from scratch as not a single polygons remains in place!



In another week I converted the A-4 variant to a C-6 model for a different episode of the same documentary series. On the to-do list are the A-1, A-17, R-1, H-1 and possibly G-models and a Mistel at some point

The renders themselves were set up fairly quickly (both in the same evening) using lighting rigs I set up in the past for other projects. But these are just tests really. I'm preparing for some all-new, full combat renders together with my 3D Mosquito model in both day and night time scenarios:
