Milton's Aero Commanders 3D Shockwave treaments

[racartron]

Here are the various Shockwave mods for Milton's fine flock of Commanders. The differences are minor, but I felt this was a cleaner presentation method. Also the names of each bird varies based on my mood at the time of installation.

You will notice I messed around abit with the startup effect. It's a bit odd, but the end result is pretty cool -- most probably will try something else down the road. That's part of the fun of this little sport.

Heyyyyy, thank you for that my man! LOL

Does anyone still fly these AC's.

Does anyone still fly these AC's.

Not as often as I'd like, but of course!!

Heyyyyy, thank you for that my man! LOL

Are you kidding me? These beauties, along with all your works of art, have the coverted corner of my main hanger facing West so they can bask in the golden rays of the setting sun through windows so clean that crows frequently fly into them.

All that is except a couple perennially dirty AC500's which usually are under camo netting out in the south forty-- when not off running crates of stuff of which I know nothing about..

One of their most enduring charms is watching them gently settle down on their shocks when first loaded up and the "pause" key lets 'em loose -- so to speak. Kind of reminds me of a Cheetah settling back on her haunchs just before launching off for nearby zebra (aka dinner.).
