Spinners Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 The Tempest is one of my all-time favourites so I'm loving this! Quote
Spinners Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Beautiful Ed. I can remember making the Airfix model of that version about 40 years ago!! Quote
Spinners Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Ed - would it be possible to set the horizontal tail a bit lower. Quote
+Veltro2k Posted May 24, 2014 Author Posted May 24, 2014 Ed - would it be possible to set the horizontal tail a bit lower. Why ? its exactly with the 3-view Quote
+strahi Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Maybe in the future ... new project Tupolev Tu-2 Quote
Spinners Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Well even your three-view shows a bit of fuselage above the horizontal tail and tapering down. Perhaps this illustrates what I mean better. Edited May 24, 2014 by Spinners 1 Quote
Wilches Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Actually 3-view alone is not everything to make a 3D model. Is the fuselage/wings/tailplane vertical sections that makes the correct shape. Quote
+Veltro2k Posted May 24, 2014 Author Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Spins use that last pic I sent and draw on it what you mean and I will mod it,,,again...I hate these inaccurate BH$@#@!! 3-views Ed Edited May 24, 2014 by Veltro2k 1 Quote
+Coupi Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) Hello Ed, I would see this, what do you think? Best regards, Pierre. Edited May 25, 2014 by Coupi Quote
+Veltro2k Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 I forgot I still have this..I don't remember if I ever released it Quote
+Coupi Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 I forgot I still have this..I don't remember if I ever released it I don't think Ed, I like it! About the Tempest, the tail is good. Quote
Spinners Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 I still think it's a bit too high. Put a ruler on the screen and you'll see what I mean. Quote
Wrench Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 you released an early version of the Airacobra in 2010, but it 'vanished'. We could USE a newer one for sure!! If you do, don't forget UVMaps so we create a new template for it (hint hint) for various skinning purposes ------ Ed, I have the 4+ book on the Tempests, if it'd be any help to ya. Lots of 3 and 5 views Quote
+russouk2004 Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 you need better plans...heres a few...last one is balsa model plans taken from real blueprints. Quote
Spinners Posted May 26, 2014 Posted May 26, 2014 Ed - photos of the Tempest show that the fin fillet does not extend far enough forward on your model and the tail plane is still too high. I've superimposed Russo's piccie onto your piccie (above) onto the attached psd. Just click on and off the top layer to see what I mean. TempestTail.7z Quote
