I've been working on getting the Phantom textured... I've gotten it about 1/2 finished and I figured I'd post a few pics of my progress so far. To give decent detail on the textures I've had to split it into multiple texture maps and it's taking me a bit to get everything done as I'm trying to do the model justice. I put the weapons on it temporarily, but haven't mapped them yet (nothing is rigged so they were just manually parented) and applied some basic textures to the material zones for them to go along with the textures on the aircraft...

I've "dirtied up" the textures as I work on them, to give the Phantom some weathering like you'd see on a serving combat aircraft rather than the "clean" look you'd see in a museum aircraft. Eventually the weapons sets will have full textures as well and will have some weathering applied to match that on the Phantom.

I decided to put a couple of pilots in just for the heck of it... they're unrigged dummy figures from an old freebie of mine that is available on ShareCG...
