@VonDos & kendras:
The tug looks good with the original well as with the SH textures.
Whom to ask for permission to release the models? Those who ripped and uploaded them? The original owner? The release of the ripped models is likely covered by the webpages statement that all models are only for private use. Is non-profit distribution of the models for other games alos covered? No idea.
I will use the models as already stated -- as kind of 3D plans for my own creations in case I cannot find useful plans.
There are already models of the Gnevny-/Gremyashchiy-/Project 7-type destroyers in SH3/SH4. They are rather simple. The WoW model, however, is a different thing. It captures nicely the fine lines of those ocean greyhounds. The Italian design influence is striking
