        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.

          is this SU output? (as in, no external renderer)

          the model is looking sweet.
          props!

            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...

                          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 πŸ˜„) 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 😲

                                      I added the rivets tonight. They were easier than I anticipated. What I found really interesting was viewing the rivets while hiding the rest of the model. I have added some shots for you to see. Pretty cool actually. My wife said it looked like The Invisible Man's airplane πŸ˜„

                                            Dear Eric,

                                            Perhaps you could take some of the trickier modelled parts and create a few 'how-to-do' tutorials. Perhaps some of the engine components?

                                            Kind regards,
                                            Bob
