Work on the redesign continues...
I have the cockpit and nose sections sorted out I think.
Some redesign on the windows, size and shape aswell as placement.
2 windows added that were missing.
A few tweaks to curves and part edges.
(The original Nobi kit does not use smooth curves on any curved part which really affects the fit and connection of parts...I am attempting to modifying all "curves" to be curves.)
redesigning the formers is a big factor...
not only to improve the fit but to compensate for changes I am making to the fuselage parts.
I have already altered the first three or four sections of the fuselage.
First section of fuselage fit pretty good, but the second part I completely redesigned.
Its now in two parts, like the first and third sections, but this allows me to even up both sides of the aircraft and keep the spine seam continuous.
Panel lines are a lost cause! lol ...so I am deleting what there and working from a couple of blueprint drawings,
I am attempting to create a new set of panel lines.
as you can see, I am building as I redesign, so i can see what I'm doing.
Disregard all the marks and pencil lines!
In case anyone was wondering about the size of this thing, heres a good shot of the forward sections.
more to come
