Today I spent my time working in OpenVSP. I managed to finish my model of the Yak 54, so I decided to create a second model. After a bit of searching, I decided upon the Douglas C-47 Skytrain. This airplane bears a closer resemblance to commercial planes, but still uses propellers to fly. I found this 3-view drawing of the Douglas C-47 Skytrain and used it to create my model. One of the challenges I faced was getting the right shape for the fuselage, especially near the front of the plane. While working, I learned how to utilize the symmetry controls in the program in order to replicate certain parts of the plane. I’ve made decent progress so far, and I can’t wait to complete this model.
