So the camo is done, and most of the shaders have been finalized. So with that, it is time to start adding the markings, and here is what we have so far... The only major change that has yet to be made, is switch the SF_Command Patch, for that of the MACO patch (but I still need to find a high-res version of that one...)
Baring further guidance from the COMMAND STAFF, the markings for the BANZAI Mk III are complete.
USS GRANDEUR, VFA-115 "SCREAMING EAGLES" (MACO Fighter Squadron)
USS GRANDEUR, MACO "DRAGONS" (AIR/SPACE/MARINE FORCES)... displayed on the Center-line...
STARFLEET ELITE SPECIAL OPERATIONS, MILITARY ASSAULT COMMAND OPERATIONS... unsure if this is the canon patch, but it was the only design I could find...
Colbmista - I think that I will stick with the "green", at least for the foreseeable future. It kinda sets it apart from the "designer" color schemes and designs that are so common on canon Federation vessels. Also it links it back to the era of WWII where it was skill and guts, not so much as technology, that would determine the outcome of an engagement...
Schimpfy - I'm still working on those shaders... the shape is different from my previous designs, so I'm having to adjust my UV-mapping technique accordingly... but, YES, the Bussards and Impulse Drives will have different shaders, even if it is only a subtle difference.
The MACO Air Squadron has arrived at the shipyard and is in the process of preparing to load its aircraft for preliminary flight operations testing, prior to their full activation and deployment. Please welcome the airframes of:
OSPREY Class
(ADI, ADVANCED INTERCEPTOR) VFA-115's single OSPREY ADI is flown by the CAG, Capt Jason McGarvey.
He will be backed by his RIO/EWO who will be arriving in the near future.
NIGHTHAWK Class
(ASF-M, ADVANCED STRIKE FIGHTER - MULTI-ROLE)
The EAGLE's field an additional 5 NIGHTHAWK's crewed by the elite of the MACO AIR CORPS (MAC).
Each pilot, selected by name, is an expert in the art of the aerial dogfight, and are unrivaled in sky or space.
CIMARRON Class
(HEAVY ASSAULT TRANSPORT) Providing the heavy lift and assault capability are the 2 heavily modified CIMARRON heavy shuttles.
Originally a pure transport, much like the 20th century "HERCULES", the CIMARRON, continues to
develop more and more capabilities.

Say hello to the...
VFA115_SCREAMING_E.jpg
BANZAI Mk. III "TACTICAL INTERCEPTOR"
VFA-115 "SCREAMING EAGLES"
TAIL NUMBER 01
PILOT: Lt Cmdr "VIPER" Haskil
EWO: Lt "RADAR" Endilev
So more work has been completed on developing the markings and shaders...
1. "Rebuilt" the MACO Command patch (See R. Wing)
2. Redid the Bussard/Impulse/Warp Drive shaders
3. A little tweaking here and there..
The next think on the list is the Grandeur's MACO detachment patch, and then adjusting the shaders accordingly...

So we have full AVIONICS, thanks to the Chief, and this bird is now fully-airworthy.

We are currently working on developing a specialized flight-rig for the men and women of the Grandeur's combat pilot contingent...
That layout gives me some inspiration for a non-Trek design.
