I posted this one earlier in the thread. I can try and find more if you need.

(edit: Looking at it, it seems the flagpole on the conning tower model is shorter then it was in real life. Editing every conning tower to fix that is out of the question, so id say, just compromise on the size of the flag some how)

The Scripts I have for Max allows a very quick adjustment to the obj files now.
So any re-scaleing is less then a 2 minute job.
Awesome. Any job that can be done in less then 2 minutes are the best kind!

Maybe a bit of Rope added so it actually looks attached?
Thats an idea, but honestly, a flagpole would be more helpful beleive it or not. Ive noticed that the earlier war conning towers ive looked at thus far (gato) are lacking a flagpole entirely. I figure id just import it like any other piece of equipment, attach it via the eqp file like ive been doing, and position the flag node so it matches.
