Spitfire MK22

Hey this is my first "real" project in 3ds max. Im planning on making a little
dog-fight animation between the spitfire and a german luftwafer (not sure how its spelt though). Tell me what you think. Ill try to update when I can.

look pretty good, keep it up! =)

Thanks Iv added more detail to the cockpit glass(but you cant see it very well) as well as the front air intake. Iv also added the rudder.

Nice but I cant really spend money on anything at the moment.

gordon13 · 07-05-2006, 08:32 PM

Update. Nearly done now. Just got to add the small detail.

No comments?

you need to work on the general shape of the fuselage
the blend between the cockpit and fuselage should be flush

although i dont like refering to model kits its the only reference heres some photos of what im talking about

the prop should be 5 bladed and doesnt smooth into the nosecone

instead it hould pass through a cutout section

also the wing filet between the fuselage and the wing should spread out more near the rear

as u can see the cockpit cutout is quite different then you show here

the bubbletop is a seperate part and the fuselage extends below it

Thanks! Now I see what I can improve. Heres my latest render.

Nice, I started on this exact plane two weeks ago. Got a bit jammed at the tail section and let my mind wander. Seeing yours may give me the will-power to pick mine up again. Keep it up, its looking good as long as you make the changes Archetype suggested.

One small thing, perhaps have another look at your empennage too. The elevator seems a bit pinched at the join, and perhaps a little thin too.

Heh thanks Ill have a look at the elevator.
