New 3DZ model of the EAW Lockheed P38H Lightning

P-38H Lightning "Raid Hot Mama"	
This skin is absolutely fictional, but can be used I think in any theatre.
It is more a exercise than a real job. So please take as it is. It is not intended to be historically accurate, as the P-38 is not a plane that I'm very interested in.
Maybe in the future I'll make some new and historical skins.

The skin was made starting from Captain Kurt's "Stingeree". I only changed the nose art, added a fictional serial number on the tail, and changed the color of the tactical number from yellow to white. But the nose art is nice, so this is the reason I put it on. grin.
	





There the original tech read-me file by Captain Kurt:

I developed this completely re-made 3DZ model after Col. Gibbon sent me a Microprose model that he was trying to add boom air scoops to. He had added the shapes, but the usual rendering problems were a major problem and the work couldn't be seen from most angles. As long as I was going to tackle fixing that, I decided the entire airplane needed a make over to be an accurate representation of a P38. 

Most everything was either reshaped, moved or added to. I also did a non-mirrored medium distance model adapted to the new PCX, a repainted cockpit, and wing views specific to the skin. 

After I rebuilt the model, I sent it back to the Col. for some work by him to make the tail non- mirrored. The shodw file is also Col. Gibbon's work. It is completely non-mirrored, courtesy mostly of the Col.s work. He contributed his solution to this and I was able to incorporate most of what he did. The entire nose, air scoops, tails, and the insignia areas of the wings are separate.

I would also like to thank Alessandro Borges for his 3DZ!Studio and 3DZ converter tools. Without these I could do nothing like this. 

Thanks, boys.

And as always, this model has an unmarked PCX included for anyone to add their own markings, with blessings from me.


Cheers,

Captain Kurt
