Looking for willing people that can texture this. The Edo XOSE-1 float plane.

I've attached the float version that works in CFS2 or FS04. The screen shot is a lie as it dose NOT float and was done by Slew mode. Attached what I think are are the best images of XOSE and linked to some super large TIFF images that I can't upload as they are too large that anyone that want to take a shot at painting this should download.

I guess sort of never mind. Broke out the Blender cheat code AKA texture baking and made textures using F6F for fuse, flaps and rons, TBF for horizontals and rudder, B-24 for wing floats and main float pylon, F4F for wings and CFS3 B-25 for main float.

@UncleTgt I spent the night after the post coming up with the idea that just maybe I could get the F6F Hellcat texture to work since XOSE sort of looks Hellcat like in the fuse. Once I got the fuse ironed out the rest fell into place for the most part. None of the rivets from the nose back are even close to the real aircraft but it looks fine to me.

@peperez This came up in some sort of search about a year ago and I thought it looked cool but put it a side tell the video as well. This time I was able to find a 3 view with cross sections that made me want to take try at modeling it.

That looks like a Hellcat converted for radiator cooled engines with skis instead of landing gears. I just as soon have a redial engine over the water they been know to take some damage but still get you back. great job on the plane though looks professional quality.
