Hello all,

While taking a break from scenery, AI, and my 747, I have taken some time to learn how to model aircraft and I think I am getting somewhere interesting.
I have decided to give us a new set of 707 models. I intend to do all civilian variations, e.g. 138, 220, 400, 720 etc., tall fin, short fin, ventral fin, turbocompressor configs, etc.
I have a great start already with the original 707, the 707-120. If there is demand, I might reverse engineer a few of these into military models or a 367-80.

I still need to do the pylons on this one, radio antennas, and a couple other small details, clean up the model in a couple places, complete the animations, finish the LODs, and then do all the texture work.

Please let me know if you have anything helpful you can contribute to this

Chris

Miles,

The first version to release will be FS9 since I still use it. However, I do intend to release FSX and P3D native versions as well. They may or may not include PBR, I'll have to dig in the SDK and figure out how to do all that new-fangled stuff.

Thanks Chris,

Not really fussed with PBR but thank you for confirming.

Many thanks for the offer

Though I think I have plenty of resources available for that section.

The modelling of the Boeing 707-120 is now complete. I am moving on to animations today. Soon after that, I will move on to the textures.
