Gorgeous is more like it! Cool

That is too cool for my eyes to see Cool

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Really? 5 minutes.... I added two layers in overlay mode, in photoshop, one blue and another orange to make the color shift. And the lines were made with the stroke path and the light particles with a scater brush..

Thanks! Yeah, if I had the capability of making it in real life I wouldn't want anything else! Looks, though, that I have to stay happy with a 1/72 model of it I'm making in wood and foam, using the 3D file's cross sections... Grin

Eheh... I already have the cross sections made. I just have to separate them, print them to scale and cut the bits of paper so I can then later sculpt them in plywood... Then I just have to join the cross sections together with some balsa wood stripes and foam.

Very cool Xpand Cool

Do you have a VTOL version of the Orca coming Shocked

??

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Nah, the S-15 is a whole diferent aircraft. It's part of the S series (46 planes that including the S-46 Orca). You can see some of the earliest here: http://threedmaniak.deviantart.com/gallery/30868993
