Oh man, sorry Dave. I know you were itching to get it.
It's only been up for a short time, so you didn't miss out. Look in FSX civilian and military props libraries. Make sure you get the one for your sim, or sims.

Thank you Sir for taking this to the next level ... way up!
Thought you might like it sir. This is just one of those airplanes that deserves to be taken all the way.
Great job, Gordon !! 
No O2 mask yet but i'll make sure he gets the full monty, including hard helmet.

Mr. Shupe and Mr. Visser...thank you gentlemen for your support, and more importantly inspiration. You are the primary reason I felt compelled to take this project on.
I got up extra early and went into marathon mode. I've added quite a few more bits, including the new seat, pilot electric panels, canopy track/brackets and upgraded the old aircraft grade nuts to a much nicer version...throughout.
Some progress pics from today's meanderings.

Your work is magnificent Rick, you have done a masterful job on your recent skins. I doubt that you would be a hindrance in any joint efforts. I wouldn't rule out the possibility...at all.
Thanks for the atta boy sir!

Really? I bought the F-100 because of your Skyblazers theme. That was a knockout out scheme for me!!!
Don't sell yourself short. Your metal work is one of the best! 
The multi-talented Mr. G! Putting good use of 3dmax. That's one software beyond my pay scale. Using Blender since one of my favorite artist use this one. He's showing the ropes on using it.
Jan, awesome pilot figure... need those in the C-47.

Back in the saddle and modeling full time.
The F7F VC project is expanding to a full exterior/interior 3DS Max project.
My original F7F Tigercat native conversion was a GMAX project, so I've decided to convert the native exterior model to 3DS Max in order to integrate the new VC in it's native format. I've imported the GMAX model into Studio and am doing a full re-model/upgrade with new details and general enhancements. The project involves quite a bit of work modifying the various vectors, rotation points and animations, but the end result will be worth the time invested.
The project is at the point where I am integrating the new detailed VC into the 3DS Max flying model. At this stage I'm working on animations for the exterior and interior models with hi res texturing under way for the new interior.
The answer to the obvious question...yes, I will be doing the two seat and night fighter as well.
Here are some early shots of the project as it stands now. The new airplane will work with existing exterior skins, but the new VC will utilize its own dedicated 4K texture sheets.
