After trial and error I got OPS working, and the barracuda is looking nice, and let me say that texturing as you build is the easiest way to do it! Just set the texture ID and plop it into OPS, potition it and VOILA! So here are some pics of the proggres, tommarow I'll do the panel and then the wireless op and navigators spot. 
 Input is welcome, as is screenshots of how the wings fold  .

Looking good!Haven't been able to find any pics abot Barracuda's wing folding, but in the event of complete failure, the join would probably lie just outboard of the undercarriage units. This would give maximum space saving, while not inhibiting deck handling. An educated guess! Keep up the good work, this will be an interesting addition to the fold! Next up, the Blackburn Skua? Or a Swordfish? IP: Logged |

Thanks guys, I have no idea how they connected the wings, they were connected to the canopy frame and I believe they had very thick wing spars.IP: Logged |
