Upcoming models

Now you did it. I'm gonna have to figure out how to add one of those.

Engineering and panel lines are done on the Skyraider. I also drew up some common weaponry for it to carry


and some uncommon weaponry

Aaron, fantastic rendering for this beast!
But, if I can make an observation, I'd like to highlight the shape of the tail.
One distinctive characteristic is the smooth transition from the rear portion of the fuselage and the rudder and, I think, the worst portion to render in paper.
I attach a detail of a tail portion of a p.....c model depicting the shape of the section, and a detail of a tail of the real one. In your model I see the rudder separated from the rest of the tail.




Could you correct this section of the model?

Thanks for your attention and compliments for your models!

Best, Nando

Just to add something that explains better my mind.
(In blue the sections)

I design the tail as separate piece for ease of build. If I tried to work the tail and rear fuselage as a single piece, it would be impossible to build without formers. And everybody knows my rule about formers...only if I can't find another way to do it.

I'm sure whoever the receiver of that bombing run was had a crappy day.

Aaron, I well know your rule. I had built in the past many of your wonderful models and I had appreciated your way and the result.
Can I suggest to modify the rudder, not the rear fuselage? Sure You can be able to blend the forward portion of the rudder over the round back of the fuselage, sharpening the forward edge while you proceed to the rear end.
I don't know if I was able to explain my idea. Any way, your model will be beautiful, also without any modification. We lack this subject in paper.

Best, Nando

I did a quick and dirty 3D model for illustrate my idea.

In RED your fuselage, in BLU the new tail rudder.

Sorry for my insistence, but I always have the doubt that someone could misunderstand my english



Best, Nando

PS: your fuselage is far better than mine
