Congrats to Student and Master both. Fine work.

Look at it this way. This is only his 2nd unit and look how great it came out. Granted I did help him out almost every step of the way, but he did put a lot of his own self into the 'creativity' aspect of it. I mean there is only so much I can do by teaching through MSN. This speaks a lot about how easy it really is to use Bryce.

First off, great second unit(s). Secondly, I applaude you for making some PLAAF units. Suggestions:
F-8 Finback - fighter/interceptor - involved in the Apr 2001 EP-3 incident
FB-7 Flounder - modern fighter/bomber
A-5 Fantan - cheesy attack plane
Su-27 - Russian plane, but the Chinese will build some of their own

Yep there will be a Finback alright, the Flounder I'm not so sure, is this the one that is also known as JH-7 Flying Leopard? The Fantan I would love to do but no model so far, I think it was used by other countries too, cheesy? Odd choice of word, I guess it's obsolete by current standards. Ithink I'm gonna do the J-11 (Su-27SK license produced flankers) and the Su-30MKK if Wyrm has models for those.

Congrats to Student and Master both. Fine work.

Thanks.

Yes I would agree completely, I had zero experience with 3d animating before I started doing units, although it would have taken me a lot longer to figure stuff out if it wasn't for your guidance.

Here is the PLAAF line up so far:

MY GOD. Matt DeLeDog you're my new hero. I've always wanted to implement PLA units in my civ game. I can't wait to see the Flanker in PLAAF colors. Or perhaps you may consider also doing a Flanker in the Russian's upgraded Su-27SM colors:

Just beautiful these new Flankers are, aren't they?

 

[Goldflash]

To me, they look a little large. Maybe I'm just wrong. Are thoes to Wyrmshadow's scale? Cause if they are, then there isn't a problem.

 

[MatteLeDog]

No these are not the final sizes, I forgot to mention that, I try to make the planes so they look good in size next to Wyrm's units and other people's units (aircraft) in comparison, though NOT firaxis scale.

The PLA lineup looks like what I need for a project in the works great job are the first 2 the Mig 17 and Mig 19?

 

[Wyrmshadow]

If you want to invent your own scale thats fine... I just eyeballed all my previous aircraft. But the Mig-19 is definately too large.

 

[Snorken]

Looks rather good. I like the penguin.

Yup, I think that one is extra zoomed in for some reason. There is definitely an unrealistic aspect to the size issue considering that the Mig-15 would dissappear next to the J-8, but the Mig-19 size is not the final one.

The first one is a Mig-15 and the second a Mig-19 yes, the Mig-17 has a slightly different wing then the Mig-15, but I think the Mig-15 model is a pure export version, I'm not sure.

 

[TopGun]

Any chance the Mig-19 could bear North Vietnamese markings?

 

[BadKharma]

OK I thought maybe you were doing a 17 since the SOE previews show a mig15 included.
