Here comes my next aircraft model - Savoia-Marchetti SM79 , an italian bomber. I picked this one, as my next model, due to it's relatively uncommon design, with its distinctive hump on gondola. In addition there is no much models of such rare planes. I spent quite alot polygons on this one, but still stayed in boundaries of 2000 polys limit. What i especially proud of :) is that i finally managed to attach more than one spinning propeller to the airplane. Later, i going to make small mod, a compilation of all my models, so i'll rework these units and add nice rotating airscrews.
Just to remind to anyone who wish any aircraft model to be done by me, as i've said before, i'll gladly create such units, only thing that i need is decent images - 3view (or even better, a blueprints) and top and side view in color.

Although I don't know much about older aircraft nautil I must say your models are top notch. Great detail. :goodjob:
 
Very nice work. It's a good choice to make too. The more little known (or less known I should say) WW2 aircraft, the better. I'm amazed it's under 2000 polys too.
 
@snafusmith: I don't want to be pestering around or sound like I know everything, but I just saw you're doing a unit called AV7 in your signature. Is that the WWI German tank? If so, it should be named A7V (short for: Abteilung 7 Verkehrswesen);) . At least I think so.

Cheers anyway.
 
@snafusmith: anytime ;) .

Besides (I'm writing this since I don't know if you speak German:crazyeye: ): 'Abteilung 7 Verkehrswesen' was a branch within the German Imperial headquarters. It designed the tank; however, the people in that planning unit weren't very imaginative in coming up with a name. Hence the simply took the abbrevation of their unit A7V.
 
First I was horrified that you didn't do the Spaviero, but then I clicked on the wikipedia link, apparently its Sparviero.

You, as snarko & sharick, are all now upgraded into semi-gods into the halls of Valhalla :D

If you can start making wheatherstorms & such, like Zeus or Nautilus, then you will become fully-fledged gods.
 
@snafusmith: Oh well, maybe I should have looked at your signature again and I'd know you speak German. Stupid me.

Es lebe die Beschrankung, äh, Beschränktheit...
 
You have the edge ;) :lol: ;

The lines in German in my last post were just me complaining about my (hopefully short-lived) shortsightedness.
