I've never tried any of the bitmap graphic softwares, inkscape was the first software i tried and i never wanted to make the change.

Hope this answered your questions

Thanks, it was helpful. I wondered if that might be how you did wings. I did not realise that there was a method to get the flat parts into Inkscape that way as had always used Pepakura.
