Whirlwind

Sorry didn't get any shots today, had a half hour job to do and ended up taking all day!

I think overall it looks slightly squashed, I think it could just be the nose which makes it like that, it seems slightly short. The turbine nose is about 4 feet longer than the piston one.

Its worth noting too that the tail pylon gets longer and bigger with the droop tail, the tail rotor hub should be at the same height as for the earlier tail.

I don't want to point out too many things as I'm not sure which bits are done and which aren't yet, any queries don't hesitate to ask though.

mm, goiong off the only 3-view i have, it is correct, but that does not mean the drawing is correct.

[ukmil]

ok doing this comparison, i think the nose needs a little lowering on the top, but other than that is seems pretty much there

That pic shows that the tail rotor pylon is wrong....the strip on the boom is in the wrong place and the windows cockpit and as you mention the angle of the nose need revision.

Sorry mate but comparisions are perhaps a risky thing to publish

[ukmil]

yes, but fixing them now, is the way to go

[Garry Russell]

NIce one

That'll be a good gap filled

I just wish I could fly the things

Already fixed those issues, well at least tried, so will test in due course, and throw another pic up

[ukmil]

ok, a few tweaks, and now i think the nose looks long, any thoughts

[Garry Russell]

Looks like the windscreen needs to come forward at the bottom increasing it's slope

Generally the windscreen looks too small :think:

The verticle between the two rear most widows is too wide as well

The two lower windows need to be more square

Its looking much better. I think you're right about the nose being slightly too long. The longer nose does seem to make the rest look much better proportioned though.

Agree with Garry about the cockpit and windows too.
