I am making a map of an Allied convoy of vehicles. I am looking for models of an Allied "Deuce and a Half" truck, an Allied HalfTrack, and an Axis Messershmitt fighter plane. The Allied vehicles will be traveling along a road, and the Axis plane will strafe the road every once in a while. This means that the models might need to be animated (wheels turning, plane flying by), but I'm not sure yet. My thread is here (http://dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=802) if you want to read more.

Anyone who can direct me to existing models or create new ones for me would be a big help.

HELP THIS MAN!!! :D ive seen his map thread its a STONKING idea! :) help him out it'd be a fantastic map!

Get me some reference pics and I'll see what i can do about the plane. I love the idea for this map so best of luck with it.

I have reference pics on my hard drive, I just have to find where I got them on the internet. Also, there's a good prefab by Tolchok floating around cyberspace which is fairly accurate. Also, the trucks in para_kraftsoff are Deuces with a fuel tank on the back.

I'll have links in a little bit.

[later]
Keep Them Rolling Webpage (http://www.ktr.nl/indexEN.html) Has both the Deuce and Halftrack

http://www.darron.net/redball.html This page talks about the red ball painted on the trucks used on the Red Ball Express

http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Feb2002/n02152002_200202151.html This page has good pics with reference to human scale

http://www.skylighters.org/photos/restorations/mvs1.html This is a GREAT pic of the Deuce and HalfTrack from www.skylighters.org (http://www.skylighters.org).

http://www.skylighters.org/history/aaweaps/index.html another page of great pics from Skylighters.org. It is a great webpage with lots of quality, descriptive pics, although the site is kind of hard to navigate.

Jus post them on here. Go to the attack file box at the bottom of the reply window. you can upload pics from your hard drive with that.

wait for 1.0.
there will probably be some models you need in there.

ill have a go at the deuce and a half tommorrow arvo :)

Tolchok released this excellent prefab for a duece and a half truck.

Download it here. (http://www.bertiehiggins.com/AlliedTruck.zip)

Yup, I've got that prefab already, but would like to use models in my level to reduce r_speeds. Tolchok says in his readme you can use his excellent textures as long as you credit him, so skinning should be easy.

Here's some pics for a ME-109 I would like:

Yeah i dont have any model stuff but the map sounds really great, it would be cool to have a ME-262 and hear that jet scream over, but if you've planned for the 109 whatever floats your boat then.

Yeah, I'm going for the ME-109 because they were very common September 1944, which is when my map is based.

Also, for you guys working on the Half-Tracks and the Deuces, it would be great if you could make them tall enough so that people can't jump into them from the ground. It would suck to have an Axis machine gunner to set up in the allied spawn, which will be in the Half-Tracks. The Deuces will be full of supplies--ammo, jerrycans, they'll make a big boom! That means that models of the destroyed vehicles will be needed, too.

Again, thanks for your help.

make a JABO e-7. That would be more approriate for a fighter bomber. What would a regular BF-109 fighter be doing strafing a convoy so low? thats a stuka and JABO target.

That sounds good DeathbyChocolat, but I don't think most people will be able to tell the difference between a ME-109e7 "Jabo" and a regular 109 in the small time the plane is actually flying overhead. Most planes in the ME-109 series look very similar anyway.

I've took your suggestion to heart anyway and added new pics for the Messershmitt to my earlier post.
