Hoping this warbird community can help a friend out. I'm a collector of Japanese Navy flight gear, and had the unexpected honor of posing for some pics that made it into the Osprey Elite 86 publication by Gary Nila on IJN Aviation Uniforms. Anyhow, a mutual friend of both Mr. Nila and myself is working on a final project for art school about a IJN pilot.
A few of the scene's he's envisaged include shots of an A6M cockpit, along with them in flight. Mainly he's looking for 3d modelers who've already created an A6M 3d model. Of course, full credit and attribute will be given to the 3d maker.
he's studying to be a photographer. currently using a hand built model and pics of me all suited out in gary's uniforms, then using photoshop magic to put them together. here's a sample of his work:

After photo
If anyone other there does 3d modeling of A6M's (and also a George), and would be willing to share some of their 3d photos, that would be much appreciated. I'd also appreciate any leads or contacts.
again, this is to help out a friend with an art school project. full attribution will be made to you, and any resulting fame is yours to keep, along with the gratitude of Hudson, a starving student...
thanks in advance,
JG
