Which one looks better? Just in case you people don't see it. #1 has fuel tank/missle pods under the wings.
-
they look different, but ... there's none better than the other one? if you want a long range recon/bombing 38, go for the 2° one obviously, if not, go for the first one, couldn't say anything else...
-
Which model? D, J, K, or L?
And, why? :confused:

'cuz I can't decide which one looks better or is.

not a bad idea, not a bad idea at all
*goes and make two model files*

I don't know if you did or not, but if you used the GMax tut for these, then they wont work - intersecting polys.

Heck no! I only use Blender to make models and tS4 for booleans/textures.

intersecting polys works, just have graphical bugs where they intersect.

No no no no. I'm asking: Which model of the P-38 are you trying to recreate, AND, why are you doing so?

Oh now I get it. I have no idea which version it is. I got a couple pictures from a German magazine articel that I found online. I must be a civilian version. I didn't see anything about guns, though it was in German. Though this model is for FS (being how there are no propellers).
The reason.
'Cuz I think it looks cool. And because I got myself a MOD idea that'll use it.

CRUD!
There's a tie between 1 & 2!

Its not sufficiently modeled to tell the difference between the two. There are slight variations between G and J and H variants (for the most part - other slight differences here and there). The biggets is dive breaks on the later models but thats just not worth it to do for FS2 :D No compressibility in space.
P-38 Lightning is US built. A long range fighter-bomber. Has four .50 cals and 1 20mm cannon. Very effective firepower because of the arrangement of the guns means that there is no convergance distance...and therefore better placement of bullets on target.
Quite a remarkable plane...if overshadowed only a tad by the P-47 and P-51.

I just watched a WW2 video about the planes and I totally agree with you.
-
Aye, Icefire is on target with that. Although other models ha dmore differences. Like radar vanes for night fighting or additional wing-mounted weaponry for anti-shipping.
I'm guessing the civie version you saw was actually a retired J. A lot of those were purchased by cropdusters after they were retired.
-
I say 2 becase you didn't do as good a job on the tanks as you did for the rest of the fighter (wich as far as I can see isn't too bad), they look like they were just slaped on, they don't even look like there the same subobject
