Trimotor and Coal Ramjet Cutlasses in FD Scale - FINISHED

(1/5) > >>

FD scale is 22.093 pixels = 1 metre.  However, since the book where I got the drawing doesn't have dimensions for the design, I'm forced to approximate based on the size of the J46 engine.  The scaled drawing turns out to be a deal bigger than the real-life Cutlass.



So it begins:



I experimentally fitted a nose to the style of the F7U-3.  Not what the finished product will go with, this much I know now.

I shall proceed with the wings later today.

The ultimate plan is to do side view and then top view.

I want to implement a simple inflight refueling probe à la Fury and Super Sabre...... but as shown, it ended up being exceptionally long...... which one of the above two would be okay, how can I make the scheme more workable, or is there something else I should try?

Comments and suggests will be greatly appreciated.
