Great work Eric! Like Coen said...not you (typically) but this is really a neat idea. I love the jet exhaust!

Here are a few more progress shots. As I am not able to see beneath the airplane in the image I am working off of, the missiles are my own design. I have not yet decided if I will keep them.

I like this lovely model. It is wonderful.
It is [kawaii-lovely/wonderful-suteki] in Japanese.

Thanks Jeff. All modeling is SketchUp and the output is V-ray with no textures, a line overlay and an infinite plane for the ground.

Coen, I plan on posting the reference image once I finish.

Thanks again all for the comments.

Heh, I was thing that the model had the semlance of T-6, F6F or F8F aircraft. Pretty neat, very nice work with the modeling! Actually, it looks like there's a little Gee Bee racer mixed in there too...

This model looks beautiful! Great work.

Thanks.

I don't think I will make any propellers. The author of the source image wrote the following:

i didnt want to do a propeller the engine should look like a mix between an old spark-ignition engine (i googled that translation ) and a modern jet-turbine-like-thing.

However I am adding missiles...? We'll see. I may just make some landing gear as well. Now on to the rivets
