This is my collection of vintage American military jets, worked up as 3D models. They appear here in the order of their construction, and to their current levels of detail. I built these models with AutoCAD R.12 and Autodesk 3D Studio R.3. (The exception is the B-58 Hustler, which began life in McNeel's superb Rhino 3D NURBS modeler when it was in Beta release.)

These models are freely available for anyone to work with (or on) in 3DS3 format.

The B-58 is also available at 3D Cafe . This is a 1.4M .ZIP including the 3DS3 project file and all texture maps, ready for rendering the 43rd Bomb Wing Bendix Trophy winner. You can see an image at the Rhino Website .)
