        It looks like you have a pretty good start but I would suggest you scale the model up and work on it much larger. Then scale it down afterwards.

              What is the problem with Curviloft?

              I scaled the model up like I told you to do, traced out the lines you provided, and ran Curviloft. I got this. Then I copied the geometry to make the opposite side.

                  Hello
                  thank you,
                  You are a boss the form seems to be perfect. Good job you say like this in your country.

                  I tried to scale the problem and the same.
                  there are holes in the surface. I do not know if it's normal.
                  I spent my whole day. I saw many video on sketchup today. I am very tired.

                  Ok let's say it's normal, I used FFD to change the shape a bit but it does not work and i don't really if is it the right plugin for to do that. Do you think that if I use Fusion 360 it will be easier?

                  Once the outside finishes I have to empty the inside and put a wall of 2mm. put a wheel arch.

                  I do not know if I have to buy a 3d printer. I think my level is just good for 3d square form, but as far as spehere is concerned it's too hard.
                  There is not much tutorial for shapes like this.

                  I tried fusion 360 but it seems harder for me.

                  After I have to do the cookpit window. I must also make the engine cover of the plane.
                  I really think I'm going to hang all my horses.

                  thank you for spending your time
                  Really
                  Bye see you later

                    How much did you scale up? I went up by a factor of 1000.

                    If you don't scale up enough, you could run into the tiny face issue considering all the small geometry created.

                    I suppose it could be the right extension. If I was going to modify the shape after using Curviloft, I would probably use Artisan instead.

                    I'd use Joint Push/Pull to add the thickness. I think, if you're going to 3D print this, I think I'd make the wheel pant in two halves and glue them together. This would give you access to the inside. You could cut out the opening for the tire in SU but I'd be inclined to cut that open after printing. I think the shape would be stronger during printing and more likely to come out straight.

                    The key is to make the shape a solid group or component.

                      FFD was the right tool! It was used in the video ! 😉

                        Hello, thanks for your advisors. I made this, It is pretty good for my first time just some line in the form after extrude.
                        I resize the scale X1000. That is ok, I have learned something today.
                        Just made a hole under the wheel pants for the wheel.
                        2 parts for 1 it is a good idea just a little glue and everythink will be well.
                        I think I will more problem with the bonnet.

                        Thanks see you later.
