@Thorvald of Lym @typhoon353 made a really good one recently:

French in TAP Mle47 or "tenue leopard", good for the period covering Indochina up to Kolwezi. The MAS-49, MAT-49, FM 24/29 and AA-52 (courtesy Tanelorn) had roughly the same lifespan in service.

@Patine How do these Beechcraft T6 Texan II look for the part?

USAF & Greek.
The wing looks weirdly angled to me. I can do the Brit/ Canadian and Iraqi too. Maybe even the Israeli...

 

[Patine]

Well, since Brazil seemed to closely base the configuration, role, and shape and Tucano on the Texan, it should do the job. As they say in Texas, "don't look a gift horse (or toucan) in mouth." Thank-you greatly!

 

[Tanelorn]

The moment I find a good Tucano 3d model, I will do that too. I have MB.339, Fiat G91, BAC Provost/ Strikemaster and a really sweet Tomcat in the works btw...
And rare resources for the 17th century Cretan war down the pipe.

Meanwhile, US Navy and Israeli Texan IIs:

Most importantly, the Iraqi T6C attack model. Some minor fixes here and there.

These Texans are externally quite similar to the Swiss Pilatus PC-7 and PC-9 they are derived from.

Canadian and British Texan IIs:

The Newzealender machines are vitually indistinguishable fom the British. The Ausies use the previous PC-9 model.

Various tanks, planes and a MD 450-30L Ouragan. The tanks are a mod T-72 Hull w/turret made from T-55 and T-62 turrets spliced together. The oversized Mirage is a failed Mirage IV.

Version 2; a heckuva lot easier since Typhoon's set matched all the poses. I couldn't find details on Namibian police equipment, so I used the Generic Carbine.

 

[Tanelorn]

A Czechoslovak / Polish beauty from the cold war. It replaced Sdkfz 251 (OT 810) in Czech service.
Built and exported by the thousands.

[Broken_Erika]

Nice. All my attempts at the OT-64 looked like Gumby's corpse strapped to the front of a generic LAV....

Hi Tanelorn. I was wondering if you saw my request for a Skyraider in Navy Blue for carrier operations, Korean War era? The current silver scheme one is perfect in terms of appearance but I was hoping to match it up to the existing Corsair, Panther etc for carrier operations.

 

[Patine]

Erika, one last modern APC/IFV unit request for the immediate foreseeable future - a Greek Leonidas-2 and/or Turkish Ejder. Either will do, but both be stellar. The graphic is meant for one unit slot, representing endemic Greek- and Turkish-made IFV's and APC's (apologies to Tanelorn for putting both in one slot, but even 127 units eventually comes to a limit, as McMonkey noted once). Thanks in advance whenever you can get the time.

@McMonkey Easy peasy paintjob. The original mod was by Typhoon, so @typhoon353 what do you think?

@techumseh Easy peasy paintjob. The original mod was by Typhoon, so @typhoon353 what do you think?

Too little sleep, Tanelorn, it seems. That plane you just made was requested by McMonkey. Techumseh requested the grey Hummel...

Duly noted and corrected

First attempt at a French Véhicule Blindé Léger:

 

[McMonkey]

Thank you Tanelorn (and Typhoon for the original). Could I be cheeky and ask if it would be possible to lighten the colour slightly. It appears a fair bit darker than the other carrier based aircraft (F7F, F9F, F2H). The F4U Corsair does appear to be a little darker on the wings but I think that is to accentuate the inverted gull wing. I'm a fussy 'customer'

 

[Tanelorn]

Like this?

 

[McMonkey]

Fantastic, that will do nicely. Looks great on the carrier alongside the other aircraft. Thanks Tanelorn.

 

[Tanelorn]

@Patine Embraer Tucano. Less than 10 minutes.

 

[Tanelorn]

Taking a shot at an F16 with conformal tanks (CFTs), i.e. F16C block 50/52 and F16E block 60.

 

[Patine]

Thank-you greatly, Tanelorn!

I think its time the Spad got an update!
