Gday folks,
Just two quick shots showing the latest update of my Beech Starship project (which can be found here). I have managed to add something that resembles the tip sails and engines nacelles, also successfully exported into FSX without any problems. With each step she's getting closer. Cool

...

Thanks for looking. Smiley

C&C welcome
Cheers
Mitch

er....wow! Brilliant! I think ive seen a photo of this aircraft in a book from the mid eighties...?

I must have missed the earlier post you linked to, i didnt realise you had done anything like this. I keep looking at tutorials on how to do this, must have a bash one day!

Cant wait to see how it develops Smiley

"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"

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I may still have some pictures since I spent a lot of time around them as a child when one was based in Buffalo.  I'll post 'em if I find them.

Because this is my first model I don't think I'm up to the task of modelling a complete VC. I am willing to leave it open for someone more talented to attempt one. Cool

Agreed, thanks for the observation. The bloody useless 3-view drawings tell a lie and its not the first time either. Any pictures you may have will be great asset. Thanks Jordan.

oooh. That's gonna be a treat 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.
