(...) Thanks guys. Yeah, I thought how killer those antennae would look, didn't have any available though :( If I can dredge any up, I'll be sure to try them out. I just got some parts in from BrickBay, so I'm overhaulling the front end tonight. (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) You can turn off perspective in POV-Ray by adding the keyword "orthographic" to the camera. For example, camera { location <x,y,x> look_at <x',y',z'> orthographic } Hope that helps! Just remember to remove the keyword when you want perspective (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military, lugnet.boats, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) Good MOC, you nailed the pencil thin fuselage, though once again the canopy is tricky. Did the old TV antenna's come in grey? That would look great, though I have no idea what they go for. George (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) I put up a couple more views. As much as I like POVRay, it unfortunately insists on a 3d perspective, so even when I want a simple top down or side projection view, you're stuck with some distortion on the ends.

Hi, I've put together my first WWII moc, a Heinkel He219 nightfighter (German). The He219 was a high-performance twin-engine fighter that debuted in 1943.
