Hmm, great model but it's definitely not Hercules enough, the cockpits to raised and so on... that said, it's a really good model

Reckon you could make a low-poly version for FS2?  

yes, I can make a low poli version and I can goose neck the cockpit a little more to bring out the herc in it.  

Here's the deal, I'll make the finished low poli version of "Predator" if someone will do the uv mapping for it.  
deal?

It's not the cockpit, it's that the missiles are 'wingy'... it doesn't look like a semi-streamlined brick any more.  Too wide.

indeed, as I said, the herc is designed on a vertical axis, not an horizontal one.

Well... the idea  with Predator,  herc Mk III  was to get away from the vertically designed semi streamlined brick.

Since in space aerodynimic count for didly... squat, the idea of a vertcally axis fighter is irrelevant as much as the horizontally axis one. What remains is the benefit of a vertically designed fighter.
 And I still can't see any, either than a funny looking goose.  
Pity,  because the Herc MK II  must be the most popular ship in FS2. I would have prefered something so completely different...  or a great streamlined areodynimic design.

I tried as much as possible to stay in the FS2 theme, still graceing the original design a little and "Predator" came to be.

It's not major work,  I did it for fun and rather quickly. The F-440 is a different story.  I spent a fair bit more time on that one.
That would have to be a Mk IV,  

Stay happy!

No no, I think it's a great model.  Just call it the GTF Predator or something.  Then you won't get any complaints about how it doesn't look 'Herc-y'  

[CougEr]

Now that's a good idea!  

[Shrike]

Now that that's settled, go get us some more renders.  

If you want one suggestion tho, if you could make a transparent cockpit with some internal details (ie a pilot) that would be so damn cool.
