I'm the guy who started the thread, and if I modeled it, it would have been my first modeling project. @asj5547 is one of the prolific modelers on this forum. he's really awesome.

Sorry my mistake! I was pretty sure the modeler had prior experience judging by the level of detail.

I've been following along, and I think Chitty Chitty is one of the most awesome and original creations anyone has done on Swap pages. I am looking forward to when its finished. Can't wait!! The detail is top notch.

I definitely agree. @asj5547 is doing such an amazing job.

I had a crazy idea today, out of the blue, that someone (maybe me?) could make the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car as an RC model. I figured it was too crazy to even mention, but then I just now Googled it, and it turns out some people are as crazy as I am!

This is not a request. It's just a fun comment to to see what your reaction is to such silliness.

true, but look how wonderfully-serious it's been taken since I posted that almost 1.5 years ago!

Seriously, I'd download it and have a BALL!

To show the light lens in 3dsmax I still have to map the model and make the tga file, then apply the tga to the model in max to see the effect, here are a couple of screenshots in max, that way we can see the result before we export out of max and import into RF.

I just noticed that your two screenshots from 3ds Max showed the wingtip rotors facing forward. that looks cool!

(but I think I just now realized why they're that way: because the y-axis is the one RealFlight uses for rotating propellers.)

Here is a video of the Chitty Chitty Bang bang model, it fly's but is still a work in progress.

I just watched this video again. it's so magical to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang flying like a real aircraft as opposed to how unrealistically it flew in the movie.

ABSOLUTLY Love it!!!!!! The only thing I would change, just my opinion is the sound. It is such a classic from an old era a sound from back then would be great! If only the sound from the movie were available, I think that would be the cherry on the top!!!!! Again love it!

he probably knows that already. the reason I say that is not only because he's so conscientious and dedicated, but he also said this in that same post:

Oops I must have missed that. Didn't mean to step on any ones toes. Yes he does fantastic work. I be envious I say.

Sweet, that is so cool. I'm trying to visualize myself sitting in the drivers seat gracefully gliding over an English countryside.

DEFINITELY needs a FPV camera from the driver's seat.
