just got this baby mapped. Now needing a paintjob.

Now opening doors on it yet. I ned to get the doors names from the SCS model first.

Also Sail probably isn't in the correct position for the game Sad

the prop I know is accurate.

Looks Great! Thumbs Up

Looking at your model and comparing it to my 1/144 Kilo it looks like the sail is positioned correctly, just not as long as the sail on my model. But hey, since when have plastic model makers gotten it right most of the time? Very Happy

Nice Job!

What fin aft?

dorsal, ventral? Just had a look at some various Kilo pictures and no aft fin.

They both have it but on the 877 type it is so small as to be hardly visible, also 636 has a more pointy turtle deck.

superb pics .... really
great job Xab.

I can't wait you make the "dirty" textures on this jewel !
I hope you will find an agreement with Luftwolf & Amizaur, the way to release maybe a combined pack with new models + LWAMI.
A big and nice package, increasing realism and 3D models with only one install.

I'm sure this could be a MOD with great success, a real must have for all.

Thing is new models of the playables don't come without problems.

The first is sail placement. This will affect the sail view. Even if I havea 100% accurate sail size and placement on my Kilo I don't know where SCS have programmed the coordinates for the sail view and it is in a dll where I can't get at it. So it could be out of place.

Then there are the opening torpedo doors. Not a problem in itself as I can make them no problem, just a matter of getting the names of the doors and the pivot correct. I just want to see what it looks like in game first and then I'll see about further modding the model.
