There was even more modeling to be done today. I started by editing the Douglas Skytrain model. Among other touch-ups and reworkings, I managed to finish the wheels that retract into the body of the plane. Now that the landing gear has been added, my model of the Douglas Skytrain is complete. Next up was my model of the F-5A. Modeling this jet is much more difficult than the first two planes I modeled. The nose of the F-5A is in a shape that is difficult to replicate with the fuselage option in Open VSP. I eventually had to experiment with settings that I’ve never used before which involved the skin cross-sections on the fuselage. Another issue is the awkward shape of the engines in the back of the jet. Hopefully, I can model them properly and finish my final model.
