ST0RM Posted February 13 Posted February 13 With the 18th AGRS converting to a Fighter Intercept Squadron (FIS), I was curious if anyone has begun work on their aircraft. HaveGlass scheme with a digi tail band, with Blue Foxes writing. 2

ST0RM Posted February 16 Author Posted February 16 @Mach3DS I've got a few photos from the summer, with another tail number. I'll send them next weekend, if you'd like. I'm out on a work trip until then. Looks fantastic! 1
nws9140 Posted March 3 Posted March 3 Wow! That is a piece of art work man, great work! I have to ask, will you be sharing that on user files by any chance?
Mach3DS Posted March 3 Posted March 3 It's too big for User files. But I think I've changed my mind and will make it public release. Along with some other content. 3 1 MACH 3 DESIGN STUDIO Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™

Mach3DS Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Finished the 2 ship set of 18th FIS 87-0264 and 88-0409. I will post some screenshots after work today. 2 MACH 3 DESIGN STUDIO Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™
nws9140 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 !!!! Wow....................................................................................No other words can describe it, except maybe, Master piece. Great work!!!
Mach3DS Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Thank you! I have a few details to fix to make them a little more different but very close to finished. 1 MACH 3 DESIGN STUDIO Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™
nws9140 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Thought you might like to see this as well. Here is a video of 220, 409 in real life. Also 339, 338 a regular grey jet with 18th markings. Great work, man!
Mach3DS Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Looking at this video it actually doesn't look like these jets are Have Glass. It just looks like they have the dark paint job. That is quite normal. Have Glass is not used much from what I can tell. Or it's really slowly implemented. 1 MACH 3 DESIGN STUDIO Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™
nws9140 Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I don't know about that, to me I think it is the lighting that might be throwing it off. You can see the still pics below that they are have glass. I know there are jets in the video that are also traditional grey jets. Maybe they are in transition? Either way, you did an awesome job in recreating the jets in my opinion..
Mach3DS Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Oh. i didn't mean to imply that I wasn't making them HG. They will remain. I used the first shot as reference. I just meant that some photos and video don't impart that translucent effect as good as other photos. But these are definitely HG. Those last 3 shots you posted show the Irridescent effect pretty well. 1 MACH 3 DESIGN STUDIO Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™
Mach3DS Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Ok, I think these are final. 5 MACH 3 DESIGN STUDIO Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™
Mach3DS Posted March 16 Posted March 16 (edited) Just FYI, my Have Glass Jets try to recreate this finish which is like a "sand paper". Which is why some aircraft don't look like HG from some angles. These are. You may see other jets out there in darker grey paint with the same "scheme" but they are not actually "Have Glass". Some people may not like the look. But this is my take on it. I personally really like it! I've tried to include the multicolored light scattering effect as well, along with the iridescent effect. You'll also get different Canopy glass effects. One with embedded properties (iridescent colors) and one with just a new "smoke" colored canopy. Edited March 16 by Mach3DS 1 1 MACH 3 DESIGN STUDIO Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™
Mach3DS Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Apologies, but I found an error in one of the roughmets for both aircraft. I needed to fix it. I will likely upload the files after work tomorrow as I've run out of time today. 1 1 MACH 3 DESIGN STUDIO Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™
Mach3DS Posted March 17 Posted March 17 UPLOADED. Just waiting for approval. 2 MACH 3 DESIGN STUDIO Heatblur Rivet Counting Squad™
DustyJacks Posted March 17 Posted March 17 These look really fantastic! I will definitely be downloading them.
