Ladies and Gentlemen: The SOH P-61 "Alpha Zero"

I Still need an experienced 3D artist to do the interior, but 3D artists are rare jewels with a lot of demands on them and they can be exceptionally busy. So when they see a high energy driver like me asking for help, they get a little nervous i think :;chuckles:;
Bottom line though is that i dont want anyones primary time on this project. I want their spare time when they can afford it. I may put four thousand hours into this aircraft and thats a lot of time between here and there. plenty of time for modeling, and it doesnt need to end there. we all want this one right.. Gotta admit though that when its done, i'd love to see a formation shot of this thing with miltons A-26 and tigerkitty.. :)
I corrected the roll rate last night before bed but i didnt do a stopwatch test to see if it was accurate, and theres a lot of other little errors that are apparent in the film. Most notably the pitch moment on the elevator and the pitch angle of attack rate. I'll be working on those today and wednsday.
Tally Ho.. :::LOL::
 
Good job so far on what must be one of the most difficult aircraft to model! I think the prop blades need just a little more work, and I really like the look of the cuffed blades over the non, but thats just my personal openion. :salute:
 
So, this airplane is going thru its life cycle backwards? Starting out as a drone? :kilroy:

Seriously, Pam and friends, this looks really good for a version 0.0. As Ed said, "full speed ahead", or at least any speed ahead = we'll let you eat or sleep once in a while. :salute: I'll definitely kick in some bucks when the time comes.

The beastie, she flies! Cool video. That was inspirational! Love the music. What music is that?
 
Its called suicide mission and its from the "Mass Effect" sound track.. i thought it was fitting music because not only did the pilots who flew these things put their lives at risk on every flight ( hard to see in blackness ) but also because this plane cant be built with out a mass effort on all of our parts.. :)..

Thanks. I'm going to find that sound track. Reminds me a bit of the sound track to that gladiator movie. Good stuff. I need to find me a good history of the P-61 now. Always liked this plane, but it seems very little has been written about it.
