I greatly appreciate the time you take to give constructive criticism, it has
always been helpful. As for the wings -- the air-fighter is based on the SF3D
model Fledermaus. While I am not able to maintain fidelity to the exact shape of
that model the general form is there. The blockyness is also supposed to suggest
rugged and practical versus aerodynamic. I think though the color scheme
detracts from the implied rugged looks. I am at the moment building a second
version in dark gray, I think that change in color may help with the aesthetics.

But it’s really great to see you’ve started building again; I admire your
work a lot.

Thank you

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?

You consider taking up MLCAD? Great news!
You can model everyting in mlcad, and since I can’t spot any parts that isn’t
already modeled for ldraw (but you’ll have to download some of them from the
PT), the redtail should be easy enough. 5-10 hours.
Just remember to use submodels every time you rotate something - like I’ve
explained here: http://news.lugnet.com/cad/?n=12826
That way you can build nearly everything studs up and at the usual 90 degree
angles.

The MLCAD interface was not too difficult to understand, I found it to be a well
structured program with an intuitive interface. The only issue I have is the
lack of snaps. I saw on the CAD NG that there maybe some who are working on
this. I am considering working on it myself, just got to get the source code and
start tracing.....
