Thanks! I think I need to refine it but for some reason I wanted a unit emblem on there ASAP as opposed to nothing... silver skins sometimes can be so boring.

 

More riveting work done on the "wingtips:" (I only call them becasue they are an actual moving surface as opposed to just wingtips, though roll sucks and I know it's not a complete FM)., a small demo is below the top image.

Okay :good: couldn't decide between aileron or flaperons :smile:

 

Thanks!

 

Though due to laziness its mirrored on the bottom side as well. I don't think i need to go overboard with riveting either... Trying to give it obviously a more production look as possible.

 

And messing around a little bit with the Shadowcat

Thanks! Though I've asked Julhelm to see if he can't send a 3D mesh layer to help out with some of the bits...

More work. Haven't forgotten about the F-103 just doing this real quick. I figure (I'm guessing) I can start moving towards warnings and stuff like that since I'm sure the Thunderwarrior has enough rivets, though need to work the tail too.

More tail work, this time got that riveted. Lexx_Luthor or FC, you think you can get me a text description of the access panels so I can start working on warning symbols or recommendations?

There is a line drawing of the F-108 and it has dozens of little access panels. You already have done alot of the top panels, for example the little squares on the wing, tail, stab leading edges are for getting at de-icing valves, the big squares you made along top are for fuel.

 

There's a bunch of very small panels on the lower fuselage, mostly behind the inlet where the maint fellas would have easy access. A few panels on and (mostly) under the nose. Radome hinges sideways.

 

If you want, I might could photo-chop your screenshots, upload it, to show where things go.

Please do, FC sent me a photo of the drawing of those access points but I couldn't read the text.

Okay, first try at this. Panels will be red. Geometry reference lines will be blue. I can't draw. That's AN/APN-71 antenna access panel. All antenna or electronic access panels except the AS/ARA-25 are AN/...

Obviously, these are rough sizes and locations. Size and Place to Taste relative to your current skin lines. If you would like labels for the panels you already got nailed riveted down, I can add them.

FC sent me the update last week or so and now just decided to show it, the "periscope" and how it looks outside. And should be good enough for government work Lexx_Luthor.
