Hello everyone, I’ve been working on an aircraft for a while and I thought I’d share it here. I started it in 2013 for fun and since then I’ve been working on it on and off a lot.
The Henschel Hs 129 was a German ground attack aircraft during WWII. It was designed purely for ground attack and it packed a punch–it was armed with two MG-17 machine guns later replaced by two MG 131s, two 20mm MG 151/20 cannons, a MK 101/103 30mm auto-cannon, and the B-3 variant had a PaK 40 75mm anti tank gun! The PaK 40 version for the Henschel was called the Bordkanone 7,5 and had a autoloader system with a 12 round rotary magazine. You can say it’s the grandfather of the A-10 Warthog since both aircraft carry such massive firepower.
I’ve modeled it in Blender and made all the textures in Gimp and Inkscape.
The plane itself is complete and the only thing now is to make the scene which it’ll be in. I have a number of scenes in mind; some located in Europe and others in North Africa.
The renders below show it in a typical splinter camouflage with tactical markings indicating it was at the Tarnewitz test site. I just noticed this so I’m going to change it so it’s with a combat unit.
Feel free to comment and leave critique but please keep in mind I’m just a amateur.
I’ve posted this on BlenderArtists.org since the beginning so if you want you can view the whole “timeline” there: http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?325837-Henschel-Hs-129-quot-Tank-Cracker-quot&highlight=
