Work it, Jim!

Work it, Jim! .................................

You might want to try accessing nasa's archives. They have tons of material on just about every warplane that flew from korea onward. What the 'Thud' was most famous for was it's use as a 'Wild Weasel'. They'd go out over the skies of Hanoi and bait the missile batteries or the Migs the north used. Once located they'd call in other more powerful jets like the Phantom II to take them out. Didn't always work though. F-105's were big and cumbersome and slow to get out of the way.

Uvah....

I have pretty well all the books ever published on the plane [just got another on monday from Amazon S/H...been out of print for yonks], most of the model kits....a couple of videos [VHS and specifically on the Wild Weasels] so their history is well known.

I need to go through all those magazine articles [again] in the search of a simple clear view of the inside rails/frame of the canopy to get mine a little more 'accurate'.

The first job though was to get the animation functioning 'right' and 'keyed' to the canopy switch...

Thanks Wiz!

Thanks Brian!  Got some of your skins in the works now as well!

Jim looks dynamite man thanks again!

Both looks super Giz

Acrylic7 gets my vote, I'm partial to blue anyway. Very nice work Web. I'm gonna try for Nexus again just so I can get my greedy hands on both of 'em.

In the mean time an update on my rainy. The buttons may look a little too big or may not fit the skin. What do you guys think.

Yep... and I can't wait to give them a spin!

Mg.... you'd better not leave Giz with empty hands....devil's workshop, you know.

And if Doc checked his mail he'd be spinin right now!
