Hello to everyone from Spencer C,
I really appreaviate all the people who put 3D models out there for free - some are amazing detailed, and it's genuinely generous to give them to fellow 3D artists when they could easily sell them.
I find them essentual for making anything, as I often don't have any money left after paying for internet access, and building models takes me simply forever.
After a 6-hour-plus search of free 3D sites, I still couldn't find a batch of aircraft and vehicles I'm looking for - early WWII French, British and German ones. If anyone knows where I can find then (for free), I would be really appreciative (and I'll list you on the credits of whatever I use them in).
(Just about any format is OK, except Cinema 4D or Maya. What I'm looking for in the planes etc, is at least medium quality - ie they don't become chunky and square-ish looking until you're nearly looking over the tail. Rigging of the models, separate control surfaces, etc. are not necessary . Simple .obj and .3ds models are fine. Textures aren't necessary either.)
Here's what I need:
French aircraft:
Amiot 143
Amiot 350 (any of that series - the 354 particularly)
Breguet Bre.690 (any of that series)
Bloch MB. 131
Bloch 174
Breguet 19
Dewoitine D.502
Farman 222
Liore et Olivier LeO 451
Morane-Saulnier MS. 225
Morane-Saulnier MS.406
Mureaux 113
Potez 63.11
Curtiss Hawk 75 (I know it's American built, but the French used it)
With the French vehicles, I'm less choosey and are just looking for any of their early-war medium/heavy tanks, and at least one of their trucks (any assorted vehicles like staff cars, infantry carriers, armoured cars, etc. would be good too). In addition, I'm looking for a light anti-aircraft gun and a heavy one, and one of their AT guns.
British aircraft:
Armstrong Whitworth Whitley
Avro Manchester
Avro Anson
Bristol Blenheim
Bristol Beaufighter
Bristol Beaufort
Fairey Battle
Fairey Swordfish
Halifax
Handley-Page Heyford
Handley Page H.P.52 Hampden/H.P.53 Hereford
Vickers Wellington (the one on Sketchup was too low resolution, and too many corners had been cut making it)
Westland Whirlwind
Boston Havoc, aka DB-7 (once again, I know it's US-built; but I'm looking for the earlier models used by the British)
With the British vehicles, I'm looking for a heavy tank (a Matilda I or II) and a light tank (a Mk VIC, Mk VIB, or Cruiser tank) as well as some truck(s) and some assorted vehicles (I've already got lemonsong's Bren carrier, but what I've seen of it looks a bit chunky) - most particulary an armoured car.
Likewise, I'm looking for a light anti-aircraft gun and a heavy one, and a 2 pounder AT gun.
German planes:
Ar 68 (a biplane)
Bf 110
Do 17
Ju-88 (the Sketchup one is too poor)
He 100
Henschel Hs 123
Henschel Hs 126
And a big WWI German bomber, like a Gotha, would be really useful too.
With the German vehicles, I'm looking for a PzKpFw I (though if you know of any other aircraft/vehicle models of this period I'd love to know anyway). Also I'm looking for one of their light anti-aircraft guns, and a light AT guns.
Quite a wish list, I must say. Thanks ahead of time for any help with it. And thanks for all the free 3D models.
