What you could do is come here and ask for updates every two days. This would probably make the modders work faster.

[astast 12]

you are right i'll just ask in four weeks :P

Hey Konyo, i was looking at them pictures of the old model and i noticed that there was these yellow markers around the middle front window and the side gunner hole, and i was wondering if you are changing that on the new one? cuz i have looked at a lot of pictures of the heli and there was mostly black color on it.

It's not a big deal if you don't, just a quick question :D

Had some free time today so thought id re-do the fuel tanks as i wasn't happy with mine. Thanks to Ei8ght Ive now put on the proper fuel tanks, i think they look much better than when i rescaled the orginals.

What do you think of Sample A's Below? do they need to be abit more wider? Or are they just right?

Sample A 1:

Sample A 2:

Or Sample B's? Huge wide tanks? Or too wide & Big?

Sample B 1:

Sample B 2:

Sample A looks better.

[konyo 14]

Sample A looks better.

Yeah I liked sample A better, I've just widened them a little bit more and now it looks ok. Not too big. Will see how many votes they get :D

Konyo,

Is the vehicle wide enough internally to hold a zodiac or a sand rail (SF Dune buggy if you will) to fit inside?

[m1n1d0u 29]

Sample A is better the shape of the tank is more circular than the sample B

[bk1276 0]

Sample A

[papanowel 120]

Like everyone said, A is way better.

Konyo,

Yeah a zodiac can/will fit inside. Not sure on buggy as havnt got Addon. Will check. & Ok I'm sticking with sample A :) Thanks all.

[lennard 447]

Since you're making the Mh-47e I guess sample B is better. Although the shape is a bit too rounded.

Here's a nice ref pic.

[b00ce 160]

I have to agree with Lennard. The B sample looks more authentic.

[blackmamb 2]

What Lennard says.

[nodunit 397]

Hands down, B. A would be good for a CH, but not MH.

[khaki 10]

I say the B sample, just to be that more authentic.

[konyo 14]

Ok all, thanks for all your votes. This afternoon during the rain and thunder i created the final tanks for the model. I think now there just right...

NodUnit posted this picture, thanks for the references for this by the way.

[islesfan186 83]

looks awesome so far!

[blackmamb 2]

I would have made those a bit rounder, maybe (the tanks), but yeah, it looks awesome!

Now i hope you'll do something about the nose sometime, i tend to find it a bit pointy.

Anyway, i really look forward to fly around in this thing.

[konyo 14]

Also, just been building that plastic tube that drains the bullets from the Mini Gun to below the helicopter, heres a quick Work in Progress Picture:

PS: If anyone has any textures for these, that would be great also :D
