Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS

Very good job!!!Links, we want links!!!
-
Very good work mate.
You should give us the community a download link… Waiting with apetite.:D
-
….and a picture of the real thing
-
I’ll upload it as soon as it’s ready, no worries The way the model is mapped isn’t very helpful, but I’m getting there.
With the basic layout ready I can change the decals and stencils to fill the 3 skin slots the model has (planned: NATO (in the making), USAF & RAF).
Stay tuned for further updates

Wings done:
So far, so good… though figuring out how the engine nacelles are mapped is going to be a b*tch… :? -
I have no words !! I love it, I want it, I need it!!
-
Soon
This one is pretty much ready, all it’s left to do are the engine nacelles, a little bit of polishing around the rough edges here and there and that’s it:
-
Mate, put real windows in and get rid of the grey paint windows.Nice job
-
Sorry, its a skin…thought you were doing a model
-
LOOKS GREAT! Awesome Job!
Maybe you can do a tanker skin after this one?
-
:bowd: Amazing work you have done there. Look forward to the link of this beauty…
-
Wow… That’s really cool. Damn it looks pretty!
-
Looks good. Now we just need to change the rotation rate of the roto-dome. That thing looks like its going to spin off when the max RPM is 6 in RL!
-
Impresive work! I really like it!
-
Beautiful work. The first pic had me fooled to thinking it was the real thing. :)Cheers.
-
Totally amazing. I can’t wait to fly escort for your E-3. Do you have any screenshots of the USAF or RAF versions?
-
Whoa!!! Very nice dude, it will be a pleasuere fly with it
Salu2!!
-
It’s alive… I mean, finally ready!
There are some minor issues, however, due to texmapping… but that’s a model thing and there’s nothing I can do about it. Fortunately, they are barely noticeable. Overall, I think it looks very nice, I’m quite proud of this one! My first skin for BMS
Now all I have to do is change the decals and basic colour layers to make the USAF and RAF versions. Should be posting a download link in the next couple of days.
Maybe you can do a tanker skin after this one?
Sure! KC-135 is definitely next on my list.
Now we just need to change the rotation rate of the roto-dome. That thing looks like its going to spin off when the max RPM is 6 in RL!
Yeah, it’s ridiculous! And it looks even funnier in the UI TacRef/Arming screens :rofl:
Velocidad y altura, conservan la dentadura
Una verdad incuestionable
Thanks to all of you for your kind comments!

Nice work bud!
-
Thanks, Bonedust!
Some screens of the USAF version…
(BTW, the flag’s orientation is correct on the starboard side according to reference photos)
… and Royal Air Force:
PumpyHead has volunteered to fix the mapping issues… if you take a close look at the leading edge of the wings you will notice some weird texture overlapping, which is somewhat annoying. While you’re at it… you think you could give the Brit version CFM-56 engines (like the KC-135R we already have in BMS has) and the IFR probe? That would be awesome :mrgreen:
EDIT: ooops, I just noticed a small error in the RAF skin… it’s fixed now:
