I want/need a B29 super fortress, anyone seen a reasonably priced one anywhere??
There's one at Tutbosquid but I don't want to pay $180 for it!! [LOL].

How detailed do you need it?  There are oodles of aircraft out there, many done for flightsims and the like, that are low resolution or without interiors, etc.  Do you need a fully detailed interior? 

*Do you need a fully detailed interior? 

• Nope, just the exterior!!
  Do you know where I can get one??

I found a lower res "freebie" but you'd have to upload a freebie of your own in order to get it... and, I'm not sure I feel comfortable with linking the site because I saw several incarnations of it, under differing domain names, and that doesn't sit well with me.

I'll try to find one, but no promises. :)

One thing you can do is do a google search and search for other 3D format names that poser can deal with .  3ds, wavefront obj, lightwave, etc..  The B-29 is a popular aircraft and I'm sure there are a few out there.  You could also use a soviet "TU-4" with some retexturing as it was the USSR knockoff of the B-29.  Places like http://www.flightsim.com may have a model or people that know where to get a good one.

Here's a package for a flightsim that has a .mdl model of the Enola Gay (don't know the resolution).

http://www.fs2000.org/last/news.asp?id=14275

You'd need to convert that from .mdl format to a format Poser can import like wavefront .obj or 3ds.  I checked and there are plenty of free converters for .mdl out there as well.  Just Google ".mdl format converter" and add the format you're looking for.  The package is legitimate (I d'ld it myself and opened/scanned it) and includes both the model in .mdl form and textures for the "Enola Gay."

I don't know if I can import .mdl with anything I have resident on my machine atm.  But, if I can, I'll let you know whether or not the model is worth the hassle. :)

Wow! Thanx for all your hard work, really appreciate it!!

I seem to remember Tallpindo has had a B29 in a few pics, you could ask him. I did a really crappy version a while back, which is free (looks best about 3 miles from the viewer...;)

Very nice!  No B-29 but there is a British Lancaster there, if my memory serves me right. (Last one.)

Still, made it into my "To download everything and cram it into my hardrive" list of links! :)  TKS!

I'm still looking.. :)

The first place I looked was Vanishing Point and I was surprised as all heck that I couldn't find a B-29 there since they picked up the DeEspona stuff.  I thought that would have been a prime model candidate but no such luck.

Aye, I saw the B-17 later.  But, the original link had a Lancaster (last model on the bottom right of linked page) IIRC.  Of course, it's a little difficult for me to tell but at least it appears to be a Lancaster to me.

Many thanx to you all, I'm gob smacked by your efforts, thanx!!

There are also tons of other free models on that site. All in .3ds or Max format. A real motherlode!

There IS a De Espona B29, only it hasn't been converted (yet) to a Poser model by Vanishing Point. Patience ...

Ah! excellent, any idea as to TOA!????

No idea, you would have to ask the Vanishing Point people ... but I doubt they'll give you an answer.
I know from previous forum posts there are at least 500 models to convert into different formats and if I remember well the total number of conversions would be about 4250 (theoretically, if they convert everything into every format), so we are talking about long term planning.
Though maybe it helps to push your favourite model to the front of the production queue if you nag their ears off  ...

*LOL, good point, I might just do that!!
Thanx!!
