    Update

    Thank to everyone who stopped by the stream and chat and for all the continued feedback. KEEP IT COMING! We ended up getting on a discord channel, and I think we'll continue to, so you can provide some pretty direct feedback and ask questions.

    Progress continued to re-organize the older textures and touch up details whenever possible. Quetzal got a lot of its panels re-done in 3D, but I didn't do any texture updates. Barquetta saw a lot of work, including new textures that increase the detail of the CF piece near the top. The new remapped UVs allow for easier changes to the main foil texture, which makes it possible to easily provide alternate textures which will provide via in-game texture switch. I also tweaked my foil texture so that it can be applied to other colors with a little bit of tweaking so I can have different color palettes while still using the same foil style so that the design stays consistent. After some color experimentation, here is the WIP of the slightly updated Barquetta (more to come) and some quick alternate textures (no specular map)

    ~Cheers

    EDIT: Sorry it's a little dark. My Monitor is a lot brighter so I don't notice it right away. I will try better screenshots

    The final H-IIB has no constant-diameter. Take a look to real shots of launches. Constant-diameter is planed for H-III.

    Oh, I meant to say this:
    just the black thing between the two stages

    as compared to the one in this NASDA concept art:

    This is the H-IIA+, a 2003 NASDA-era Mitsubishi design that preceded today's H-IIB.
    The H-IIA+ was renamed to the H-IIB in 2005.

    The only difference I can really see is in the interstage shape. The design, according to the last 2 pictures in the album called for a tapered interstage section, but later, the final H-IIB design had a 4-meter cylindrical, constant-diameter, interstage.

    that's not that bad! Honestly it's hard to do better than this :P The mount looks a bit huge but I suppose it is that wide because of the 1.25m stock size? (or 2.5m maybe?)

    My HLV-I is 1.875m in diameter.

    Regarding mount size, I'm making the rough shape of the mount based on an H-I orthographic cutout drawing from NASDA:
