Hello all,
After a ~6 month hiatus -- or rather a long creative block-- I slapped this
little thing together over the last few weeks. This model was rife with
issues and I nearly gave up last weekend but my desire to see it completed
won out. It may look simple, and for some it may actually be, but I had a
difficult time getting the wings and cockpit to look just right, and there
were numerous structural issues that had to be hashed out. The usual details
are present: fully functioning landing gear, opening canopy, greebles inside
the gear-wells, and greebles around the engine. Now before anybody points out
that the engine bell looks too small, well let me tell you, it is -- but I
like it like that.

Wonderful shaping, coloration, and detailing. I love the cockpit’s angled
mounting- that’s very well done. The landing gear mechanism is great as well,
with all off the doors to allow it to be fully concealed. The feet look a bit
clunky, though.

P.S. I have gotten a lot of requests for instructions for my
RedTail racer, does
aybody know if it would be possible to model it in MLCad?

Sure it’s possible... but it would take a lot of learning if you don’t know how
to use the program. Then it’s just a matter of whether all of the parts have
been modeled in ldraw. If you get stuck on that, let me know and I may be able
to help with parts authoring. There are others who do that kind of stuff as
well- ask on the cad newsgroups.
