B-50D Design Thread

Thought I would move this project over here, now that we have this nice new format. I have been working on this project for about seven months now, off and on, probably only about 20 hours worth of work in it so far, including research and having to start over once. Scale will be 1/48 or 1/32, haven't decided yet. My current preoccupation is the engines and the shape of the wings. They are giving me fits. The engines have a complex shape and are giving me trouble as I try to work out an effective way to turn it into a buildable model. The most troublesome part is the intake with it's odd curves...



The fuselage, on the other hand is a nice simple shape, nothing difficult about it. Took me about 45 min. total. So here is how the project stands at this point, with a lot of question marks about the shape of the wings.
