I did not know this was already known fact. I just read your explanation and that of zapatista and am not one who has read the forum on a regular basis the last years.

However I thought you can compensate for poke through in the "rigging" phase of a 3D animation, like giving tighter constraints ie not allowing full range of human movement.
But Olegs team knows first hand and I am content, now that I know the reason for undersize pilots.

So of course I did not want to be the 100th whiner to point it out. It just was obvious from first glance to me when seeing the pictures and so I commented.

So, sorry then.


PS: FG28 Kodiak, that does not look like a period photo to me at all. More like a clever composition render of 3D models. Check out the reflection of the humps over the machine guns. You never find that on a real Emil. And there are more clues ...
